oh my word, I hate to say it..but this book was just stupid. Neither the hero or heroine's actions made any sense. The descriptions of Cypress and the Greek traditional customs were over the top.
His attitude towards their marriage was beyond archaic and I actually found myself rereading sentences trying to understand what he meant.
I would avoid this one at all costs. I love a lot of angst in my novels, but only when they make sense.

Oh the Horrors .... the Horrors. Maybe if the author had spent half the time with character development and interaction as opposed to explaining rituals, cooking processes, describing scenery, ect this book possibly could have had some redeeming value.

What is it with Margaret Rome?
It’s the second book of her I’ve read where the H imprisons the h so that she can TEACH at some remote school.
A half-Greek efficient secretary pleads with a Greek minister to save her no-good brother from prison.

the Greek wedding details were good and showed excellent research, but really that was it...because there was too much of it...there was no romance at all.
He never even spent the whole night ....AND when he finally stayed all night ....he stopped sleeping with her after they had an enjoyable giggle together in the morning when he did . WTF is all I can say.
