The marriage was over... but what about their baby? Five years ago, Jane's marriage to Demetri Souvakis ended. Devastated and betrayed, she left him and started a new life. Now Demetri needs an heir... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Our hero & heroine, Demetri & Jane, it took them 5 years seperation before they decide to take some action, that was a little bit stretch. But, some can hold a grudge & too much pride. Demetri was too proud to admit that he loved Jane, well, maybe he'd been too spoilt by his mother, who thought he was the `golden boy'. Yet, what was Jane's excuse, why did she has such low self-esteem to readily believe that Demetri was unfaithful to her, why was she so unsure of his love for her, even if his mother didn't like her & some malicious rumors, maybe the author should explain a little more on that background. Actually this story is quite realistic: the hero & heroine both thought they were always right & could do no wrong, not quite considerate of others, added on some busy bodies' influences (good or bad intentions), lying & lying by omission, come to think of it, we could all find some of these flaws in us, which makes this such an enjoyable read, not to mention the love scenes which are written quite beautiful, hot & sizzling too.
Great!

I agree with the other reviewer. Since she has done such a lovely job of a summary, I won't even try. It was quite a quick-paced book and really kept the action going. I loved Jane's character and her desire to stand on her own two feet. I guess my favorite part was that even through it all, they were still able to find a way to be together. (Which as the previous review alludes to would have been quite hard!)
A Very Pleasant Surprise

I must say I was rather reluctant at first to read this book, not because of the story line but because of the author. I have had a lot of "hit or misses" with Anne Mather, more misses. Her storylines tend to drag to me, but this book was up pace from the first few pages and kept going along until the end. The main characters Jane and Demetri were hmmm confused to say the least, they had been married for 5 years in total and actually together for 2 and a half years. They broke up because of an alleged infidelity committed by Demetri, which he denied ever having done, of course Jane being heartbroken left him. Fast forward 2 almost 3 years later. Demetri comes back into Jane's life because he wants a divorce in order to marry and have a child with someone else. On their first meeting after being apart for so long they end up having sex, which you find out later in the book leaves Jane pregnant, but she doesn't tell him this, because of course they are in the process of divorcing; if that isn't enough Demetri's father is dying and ask that Jane come to see him in Greece before he dies. Introducing Jane's moral dilemma, should she go to see her dying father-in-law and risk having another intimate run in with her soon to be ex-husband his new fiancée as well as the woman who she suspects he cheated on her with (who happens to be a different woman NOT the fiancée). In this mix add in if you will Jane's meddling boss, her emotionally blackmailing-meddling mother, her mother-in-law from HELL and Demetri's gay brother and his brother who's a priest and you have the perfect cocktail for an ABC network movie of the week!!!!!! It was fabulously trashy and dramatic, and somehow these two find their way back to one another through all the muck and meyer. I Loved It !!!!!
