The greek tycoon's unexpected wife, Annie West - 6 stars!!!




Tessa and Stavros met in a civil war-torn South-American country. He was there for business when he heard of a foreigner held prisoner. He pretended she was his bride and married her in order to save her. But on their way out of danger zone, a bomb exploded and they got separated. She thinks he died, and cherishes the memory of a wonderful, gorgeous and generous hero who gave his live saving her. He is the star of all her fantasies, the man of her dreams. Stavros also believes she died and carries the guilt of not having being able to save her.

The book starts four years after those events, on the day Stavros celebrates his engagement to a beautiful, poised and ultra-perfect Greek fiancee. And guess who rings the bell? Tessa, of course.
She came to give back the engagement ring he gave her, having been able to trace him thanks to his well media-covered engagement.

As you can imagine, the situation is explosive. Stavros now has a very secret wife and very public fiancee. Great! What a man to do in such circumstances? How can a man explain that to his fiancee? his family? his business associates? But the most important question is: what is he going to do with this wife? So many problems... But if anyone can solve them, it is alpha-male Stavros. And his method is quite... forceful.

The style is just brilliant! You cannot breathe until you've finished the book. If I had two words to describe this book, I would say: "such intensity"! The book is sooo intense, from the very beginning to the end. And even when it finishes, the intensity carries on. You are hungry for more.

You'll love Stavros. Forget all the alpha-male heroes you've ever known. This is "the one". He got emotion, passion, strength, and a very big heart. But he is also bad... really bad ... sooo bad! He is a mixture of the typical sheikh and the very sophisticate European. When I finished reading the novel, I felt like "he is the only man left on the planet".

You'll also love Tessa. She is proof that you don't need money to have class. And that is not something you usually see in poor heroines. God, if possible, she got more class than lady Di. And more heart as well. She had a very difficult life, but her inner class and gentleness kept her soo beautiful and strong inside! I really liked the fact that she was a strong woman, but she was completely helpless with Stavros. It just emphasized how powerful the love was between them.

If you ever want to read a romance novel with good style, explosive passion, incredible intensity and lovable characters, read that ONE.
