Slightly better than ok. RTF.
Nice read. Author clearly knows her Greek and the history of the Greek occupation by the Germans in WW2.
The characterisation was a little two dimensional, but within the context of the story totally forgivable. The romance seemed to happen impressively quickly, and I had a slight concern as Zoe appeared very young - by my reckoning 16 at the point where the story picks up.
Still an enjoyable read that I hope is continued in the next in the series.

This wasn't the first time I've read this story. The first time was during the start of my time in the Xena fandom in the way back (or college) the early 2000s or so.

I would have preferred even more character development and details, however, "In the Blood of the Greeks" has quite an interesting cast of characters and some surprise twists and turns.

One of my favorite historical romance fiction novels. Love the slow build up between the two main characters. Could read it again and again.
You can hear my thoughts on episode 20 of Cocktail Hour (cocktailhour.c-spot.net)
I read the online version, not the published version.
