great read

Love the novel but hate the heroine's nemesis, the witchy Helena. At times, I want to strangle the hero for taking Helena's side and seeing none of Ellie's honesty... How can a man this narrow minded be a successful billionaire?

I read this one in one sitting and then had to read it again! .....

Expectant Bride by Lynne Graham Harlequin Presents # 2091 - March 2000 Dio must leave for Greece to attend his father's funeral, and taking the office cleaner who had been hiding in his offices while he conducted a highly sensitive meeting with him was his only choice to prevent her from divulging what she had heard. Ellie is outraged by his arrogance and doesn't hesitate to tell him so. Their attraction to one another is intense and their passion over comes them. When morning comes Dio learns that the information did leak and he blames Ellie and sends her away in distaste. Ellie's innocence is soon apparent, and Dio wants to resume their affair but Ellie doesn't want anything more to do with him, until she discovers she's pregnant. When Ellie accepts Dio's proposal she has a visit from the woman Dio was expected to marry and bitter words and threats are spoken. To Ellie's devastation Dio believes Helena is the one wronged and when Helena continues to come between them, Ellie has to make some tough decisions. Oh I loved this one! This is by far my favourite by Ms. Graham :D Ellie is an extraordinary heroine. Blunt almost to a fault, she isn't afraid to jump right in and speak her mind. This very fearlessness is what has the powerful Greek billionaire charmed. Dio finds Ellie to be a breath of fresh air and he can't seem to get enough of her. Sizzling chemistry, emotional intensity, and scenes so witty you smile and smile. I read this one in one sitting and then had to read it again!

Another great Lynne Graham book!

This book is so good I finished it in one sitting. The hero is every woman's fantasy -- a stunningly gorgeous Greek billionaire. The heroine is a beautiful petite blonde whose insecurities make her very appealing and likable. The chemistry between them SIZZLES! He can't keep his hands off her! This book has everything that I look for in a romance book -- emotionally intense story, memorable hero and heroine, passionate love scenes, and beautiful romantic setting.
