Feel-good courtship story with a lot of fun banter set on a tiny, gossipy Greek island. The hero, a former search and rescue pilot, is temporarily contracted to fly tourists onto the island The heroine dreams of a being a photographer, but first she has family obligations that require her to temporarily man the family's Vespa rental booth while her cousin operates the family's fishing boat.
Temporary is how the H/h see their stay on the island and how they are approaching life and courtship. They'll have a fling and then go their separate ways. That's the internal conflict - whether either one will commit. The external conflict is trying to date within the constraints of the island.
There is a secondary romance between the heroine's cousin and the landlady of a local hotel. Landlady is guardian to her headstrong, orphaned 11 year-old nephew. Their romance is also sweet and interesting.
There are so many clever lines and witty banter. The heroine promises she'll "dress platonic" for their first meal together. The author brings this full circle at the end when the heroine shows up in her "first date" outfit for the big ending. I won't spoil the fun by describing it.
This would have been a five star read for me except the contrived "black moment" at the end. Yes, it created some last minute angst, but it felt forced and unnecessary. Also, that title is ridiculous. The heroine was no mistress and the hero wasn't a maverick. It does a great story injustice.

This book was upbeat and entertaining with snappy dialogue. I thought that Pete and Serena were a good couple. I don't go for the no-strings attached theme very much, but I liked how it was made very clear as the story progressed that neither party was able to adhere to that qualification. I also liked how the islanders interfered with their plans for hot rendezvous, since Serena is half-Greek, and it's a small Greek island on which her grandparents are very prominent citizenry, and they are old-fashioned about such things. It helped to build up tension, and for Pete and Serena to get to know each other outside of the bedroom.
I loved Pete. He was a charmer, but he had some depths. He was ex-Navy, and was emotionally wounded from his experiences as a Search and Rescue pilot. Serena helped to heal his wounds. He helped Serena to realize that she could fulfill her dreams and find a lasting love. I liked that Pete was the first to say he was in love, but Serena annoyed me with her reaction this marriage proposal. I thought she was crazy. You can always have a career, but you can't always find a true love. As some career women who are still looking! And he was very supportive of her career. I'm glad she came around in the end.
I liked the side story about Serena's cousin Nico and his courtship of Chloe, who was raising her orphaned nephew. Pete was such a sweetie in how he interacted with Sam.
I will definitely read more of Kelly Hunter's books. I hope she writes about Pete's brothers. One of them owns martial arts dojos and the other is a Navy SEAL. Sounds good to me. :)

I loved this book. The writing was amazing. I loved the witty repartee. I loved the interior monologues the characters had. I loved the metaphors and beautiful descriptions of the surroundings.
The book was mostly happy and charming. The characters were modern in their attitudes. The hero was a great guy, not an ass at all. The heroine was a sexy, funny, self confident, smart woman.
As usual, the title had little to do with the book. She was not a mistress at all. They had a mutual relationship that started out light and temporary and grew from there. There was a bit of angst at the end.
The secondary characters were well written and clearly developed. The hero has 4 brothers and I hope they have books. I'm going to look for them as soon as I finish this review.
If you enjoy watching the English language really do its stuff in the hands of an artist, do yourself a favor and read this book. I enjoyed every word in it. And in 40 years of reading only 3 or 4 other authors have made me say that.

"The Maverick's Greek Island Mistress" is the story of Serena and Pete.
Firstly, ONCE AGAIN, why such a shitty name for such a fab book?! It's such a misnomer and makes you think of a different type of book, when this is so much more and better (and maybe doesn't deserve to be a HQN novel lol).
Secondly, Loved it!
The book is set on a Greek Island.
The heroine is a Greek photojournalist, on a break from her overbearing but loving family, helping them out by renting Vespa under a umbrella.
The hero is an Australian Navy seal, who is on a break after some bad experiences, and helping a friend out by flying tourists on demand.
They meet thanks to the h's cousin, and there is instant spark!
Both don't want commitment. She wants a life away from the overprotective family, who follow her everywhere, and do not appreciate her goals in life. He wants a temporary escape from the harsh life he normally lives, and the responsibilities on his shoulder. They start a no-strings attached relationship under the watchful eyes of her many, many, many relatives.
But soon things start to change as feelings get involved..
The main story focuses on this lovable couple. She's independent. He's caring. They're both witty, strong and instantly in lust. They acknowledge their attraction, and are not dicks to one another. Their banter is humorous, and occasionally filled with depth and emotions. Their families are crazy.
There is a secondary story about the h's cousin, his girlfriend and her nephew- which is so heartbreaking but sweet.
There is drama and angst in the last 3/4th regarding the nephew and proposals, but honestly it just made the book better for me! I love when the heroine is the reluctant one and occasionally has to grovel.
Totally enjoyed it.
Safe
4.5/5

This series from Hunter has been consistently fantastic, but they're really not Presents. They're too funny, the heroes too middle-class (well, except for the first book), the heroines neither virginal nor sexually inexperienced and the relationship dynamic too even-footed. They're not stories where a heroine's swept off her naive feet by a domineering hero who has to have her. They're cute stories about two people finding love where they least expect to.
But I loved this story about an Australian Navy veteran flying a helicopter charter in the Greek islands and a Greek-Australian aspiring photographer helping to run one of her family's businesses on a small island, improper Presents or not. Her protective, interfering family made me smile at how they continually contrived to keep Serena and Pete decent. Their outrageously flirtatious banter took the place usually occupied by sex scenes and was just as hot. When they finally do manage to shake her family, it's all the more hot for the wait and the feelings tied up in it. Add in a completely smitten hero and a commitment-averse heroine, and you've hit all my favorites.
There's just one thing holding the book back for me. The final bit of conflict rested on what I saw as a false dilemma. He's a helicopter pilot with no fixed address and she wants to go on and work as a photojournalist at a daily newspaper somewhere far away from her family. So why are her dreams and a relationship with him mutually exclusive? Why would she turn down his proposal when she's inordinately fond of him just because she got a job at an Athens newspaper? Surely two bright people could've worked out a long-distance relationship for a bit or had him work in Europe somewhere. I saw numerous options other than "drop job and move with him to Sydney" and "break up," and that deflated the drama a bit for me.

What a charming book! It was funny and upbeat. The H/h were absolutely wonderful. The descriptions of the Greek Isles made you feel like you were right there and the eccentricities of the locals was hilarious. I felt like I was right there witnessing everything. I especially liked the secondary romance between Nico and Chloe.
This was a wonderful change of pace from the very tension filled typical HP reads. I needed this fun light hearted romp.
Well done Kelly Hunter!

The book was rather good, the h/h are likeable. The only thing that bothered me is the Serena's reaction to the Pete's proposal, but her way of making up for it was good, and in the end I didn't hate her, which for me is a rare thing, I tend to hold a grudge when a character annoys me.
As I already mentioned I love the hero's family, and I really want to read Jake's book, poor guy, everybody keeps asking him for advice in women, and he himself has problems with love.
Another charming thing are the chaperones they keep interrupting Pete&Serena in the most inconvenient times(whenever they are alone).

If you want a light fluffy romance to escape reality for a little while, this is it. Serena was part of a big Greek family that is very protective of Serena. Everyone in her family has to take a turn and spend time on the island running the business for their grandparents. It just so happens to be Serena, and her cousins Nikon turn. The island is beautiful, but nothing ever changes. Serena is counting down the weeks she has left on the island. She is ready to follow her dreams. She wants to be a photographer.
Something sizzled between Serena, and Pete when they met. They both agreed to a short, no strings attached island fling. Serena's family kept me laughing. I mentioned that they were protective, but I think that was a understatement. No matter where the couple went on the island, some member of Serena's family would show up. I almost felt sorry for them. They couldn't even order what they wanted to from the small restaurant that they went too, and alcohol was out of the question. Don't worry, you will have to read and see how the two worked through all the road blocks.
This was a really sweet book. The short island fling turned into the forever kind of love. This is the kind of book that you can't put down once you pick it up. It will also have you smiling, and laughing. Great book!

Pete is the pilot of the family whose job in search and rescue took a toll on him and now he's helping a friend out and that is when he meets the heroine, who is doing her duty as a granddaughter and helping her grandparents out. She likes the little island she is on but is is restrictive and she wants to pursue her dream of photography, so she tells Pete they will keep things light but from the start Pete knows he can't, Serena just gets to him and sees through him. I loved the fact that the hero fell for her first and even proposed while Serena needed time(which kind fo annoyed me) because she had a dream and it took time for her to see that one need not have only one dream. Best of all was their reunion moment with all of Pete's brothers. I enjoyed the side story of her cousin as well, overall I am loving the Bennett books.

Absolutely one of the best of this type of book I have read. If I had found this in a combo selection with another book, it would be a worthwhile purchase. The characters are well developed and interesting. And the storyline has meaning. Sometimes these type can be so short you feel the events were rushed. But I though this was paced perfectly for the story it contained. Great main and secondary characters that you want to spend time with and get to know more about. I will definitely read something by this author again. My biggest complaint is the title. I felt it was totally not fitting the story. And based on it alone I probably would never have picked it up and missed out on a great story.

AGAIN, THERE IS NOT A SINGLE MISTRESS TO BE HAD IN THIS BOOK.
What there is instead is a small town community that is both loving and oppressive and two people who try to discreetly be involved with no strings attached, only to have that blow up in their faces when they fall in love. There is also a positively dreamy secondary romance that I would have happily read an entire book about.
This was just fun. Katie, read this one.

I love how Kelly Hunter writes strong alpha males coupled with women who give just as good as they get. As usual, the main romance was wonderfully convincing and sizzling, but the secondary romance and subplot was just as good. I loved the setting in this book as well - it had the great small-town feel, in this case, the small town being a Greek island populated with relatives and friends.
March 31, 2020
I really enjoy Kelly Hunter's writing and this book is another one that illustrates her gifts with words, and her ability to plot a modern, clever romance that breathes new life into the romance genre.
Her protagonists are bright, funny, and their dialogue id just fabulous. The setting on a small Greek island and the secondary characters really add to the story. Pete and Serena are instantly attracted and plan to have a no-strings affair but life takes over. There was no stupid obstacle or barrier - just a small one which was easily resolved once Serena realised she didn't have to choose. I really enjoyed this emotionally satisfying story.

Cute. I like that the couple actually did have a courtship of sorts.

It’s ok. It’s like a lot of other romances. Nothing really unique. It’s about half the length of a typical romance novel.
STORY BRIEF:
Serena’s family lives in Australia and her grandparents live on Sathi a small Greek Island. The various grandchildren and other relatives take turns spending six months running the grandparents’ business of renting Vespa motorbikes to tourists. The grandparents are too old to run the business but they won’t give it up. Serena plans to get a job as a photojournalist as soon as her six months is finished.
Tomas is a helicopter pilot who flies tourists and is based on Sathi. Tomas has an injury and Pete is the substitute pilot. Pete used to work as a search and rescue pilot, but too many deaths got to him and he quit. Now he is looking for another kind of work to do after the Tomas job. He and Serena are immediately attracted to each other. The locals interfere whenever possible to keep them apart – in the spirit of family. They won’t serve alcohol to Pete. They want him to stay in a hotel rather than in Tomas’ room near Serena. When Pete and Serena go to a secluded beach, a local busybody joins them as an unwelcome chaperone. Although Serena is falling for Pete, she wants to start her own career and doesn’t want any commitment.
REVIEWER’S OPINION:
Ok, but I’m looking for different and special which was not here. I had no major problems. The formulaic separation was done in a reasonable manner. There were three sex scenes with almost no sexual language. It’s almost like they weren’t there. This is not steamy which is not a problem, I'm just stating my interpretation. The other characters and secondary stories were good.
The title does not fit this book. He is not married, and she is not his mistress. They are two single people who meet and start a relationship. Also Pete does not fit the definition of a maverick. The only maverick thing about Pete was that he felt no desire to make a commitment to anyone before he met Serena.

I found this third installment in the series more enjoyable than the second one even though the conflict in both books were kind of similar (the MCs trying to figure out career choices while considering whether they should make room for a significant other in their lives). I really liked the Greek island setting with descriptions like this:
"They ate from the picnic table in the courtyard, with the cottage nestled into the hillside behind them and the sea spread out before them like a promise."
"There was a world of difference between life on a sleepy Greek island and the vibrant energy that came with being in the middle of a major city. People moved faster, talked louder, dressed smarter and for the most part looked a whole lot tenser."
I found the small town setting charming and the antics of the older generation funny when they try to protect Serena from Pete. I love Greek food and the ones mentioned here made me hungry. I also enjoyed the secondary romance and was rooting for those characters to get their happy ending.

And another sigh.
And yes, after reading 4 of her books in 3 days I guess I am now a Kelly Hunter fan. Still have another 3 to go.

Fun! I've enjoyed this entire series so far. I love the humor in Hunter's books. She has a way with dialogue. If you don't take yourself or the books too seriously, they are a fun, fast diversion.

As other reviewers have said, this was really not a Harlequin category romance - this was a straight-up contemporary, and a good one at that. No one's a billionaire, the heroine is intensely self-possessed and career-driven (and the narrative doesn't punish her for that), there are way too many scene-stealing secondary characters, and it is really funny. I will definitely be looking for more from this author.

Felt like nothing really happened during the entire book... But sometimes that is exactly what you need.

There's nothing like a good romance on a Greek island.

I like strong heroines that go after what they want but I felt this heroine was a bit too much of that. Hero was nice and he wasn't a jerk but the Book was kind of boring because he was so nice and not much of a conflict. Np.

Too many titles... I know, there is a long-standing tradition of vaguely misleading veering into wildly inaccurate titles on HP/M&B stories. It goes with the long-standing tradition of the couple on the cover bearing only passing similarity to the description of the couple in the text. Less exciting but more accurate titles for this book include "Aussies in Greece with Helicopters" and "My Tiny Remote Greek Village's Conspiracy to Thwart My Island Affair". As with the first two books the relationship progression is . The secondary characters are adorable, the plot was fun, and much like the previous story this one would only get better filmed with all the glorious scenery in widescreen colour.

The US title is particularly stupid, but it's a good Bennett book. I really liked rescue helicopter pilot with burnout syndrome Pete Bennet and of course the local people - and secondary romance - on the Greek island.
I really appreciated that Serena's problem was all about having always dropped everything for her family and now finally wanting to start out into her own life - with her photography - and not being ready and willing to give it all up for building a family.
I did NOT like that she did her job search aimlessly, I DO like that she and Pete found a compromise where both could fulfill their dreams - nope, this is not a book where the hero really has to give anything up :P.

I loved this one as well. Pete and Serena both don't want anything serious because both did not know we're they would be after the summer. But from the first kiss it was more because two souls connected and that's hard dismiss even when it is inconvenient. I loved the island folk because of how they keep trying to interfere. I loved the ending though it did not go as expected.
