SYNOPSIS:
"Her billionaire boss is her former lover. And now, she’s blackmailing him to experience what it is to be loved.
24-year-old Willow Somerset is taking the greatest gamble in her life. She’s giving herself seven days to make Stavros Manolis realize how much she means to him.
But if nothing changes, she promises herself that it means goodbye...forever."
CHARACTER BACKGROUND:
Stavros Manolis is still a rich and handsome man. But now he’s a rich and handsome man who’s afraid…of drowning. His fear of abandonment is hitting him at full force, causing him to push the most important person in his life away.
Willow Somerset drastically changed because of the hurt the man she loves caused. But despite the jackhammer in her heart she constantly feels, there’s only one thing that she truly wants – for Stavros to no longer feel pain and sadness.
TO LOVE:
I love how Marian Tee still has the ability to make me cry. It’s ridiculous, really. I KNOW there’s going to be lots of heartbreak in this book, and I somehow had an idea as to where the story would lead. But I still cried like a little baby who had her candy taken away! She’s getting too good at making her readers weep.
Willow’s dad is now more of a father to her unlike in the books preceding this. He won’t win Father of the Year award just yet, but he’s now showing his daughter how much he loves her, and is truly proud of her. I mean, he is one of the reasons Willow always felt like she wasn’t good enough, so.
As usual, the chemistry and the passion here on Love, Your Greek Billionaire is amazing. I actually had to skip a few parts because I felt a bit “exposed” while reading it in public. (Word of advice: Do not read this book in public.)
TO BLEH:
This could just be me, but I got a tad (okay, a lot) confused with the relationship Stavros had with his father. It wasn’t described as much as his relationship with his mother. Truth be told, if I were going to base it on the “memories” Stavros had as a child, he should’ve chosen his father to be his legal guardian, rather than his good for nothing whore of a mother.
Like I said though, this could just be a confusion that only I am having.
SUMMARY:
I loved this book of course, and I can’t wait for the next installment in the series. I give this 4.5 stars and a must-read stamp.

Confusing is the first word that comes to mind at the end of this one. On one hand the back and forth between Willow and Stravos is entertaining but all the, "he loves me, he loves me not" gets old really fast. At times I just want the both of them to move on and let it go. If he's as messed up as the author wants you to believe, why would anyone want to suffer through trying to get him to change?
Willow comes off as desperate and weak for not just Stravos but for anyone to love her. The mommy issues the two of them have is at times annoying and over the top. Why put yourself thru the trouble with people who can care not one drop about you? Stravos giving his mother the deal was another blah moment that really made him look like a fool and even more so just as desperate if not more foolish then Willow. In the end the author does a great job in making you feel whatever you do when reading the story. Even with it being short in the little time it takes to read it pulls you in and makes you feel some type of way.

This book made me want to scream at the characters and cry for them at the same time. These two of them faced a mountain of pain, they both had insecurities that kept them from admitting their true feelings for the other. Willow amazes me with her strength and patience. She's the kind of girl that just needs to be loved and she'd soar like an eagle. Stravos lets his past define which hinders him from movie forward with Willow. The next installment makes up for how this one ends!

She went through a lot with this man. Shame, shame and more shame. But she was made for him, because what she went through as a child built her or better yet equipped her to endure what Stavros would out her through.

never lets you down , keept them coming

The girl’s actions and reasoning just didn’t make sense. Why emotionally torture each other for no apparent reason...?

How come these books are making me feel so much! Must read series!

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
*****SPOILER ALERT*****
Stavros and Willow and they broke my heart in "Love, Your Greek Billionaire." The story resumes with Stavros at his therapists office after his run in with his evil mother and his breaking Willow's heart and pushing her away. He is having a hard time dealing with his decisions and has returned to Dr. Lekkas for some clarity. Willow has returned to her mother's side at the institution in hopes of finding some peace with her tormented, disturbed mother. Both are hurting and not knowing what to do about it.
Until they run into each other again at a racetrack and Willow, in her wonderfully blunt fashion asks Stavros for seven more days. Seven more days to do whatever she wants of him, cause honestly after what he did to her at the end of the last book, doesn't her owe her this? He agrees, but only if she promises to walk away and leave hm alone after the seven days are up.
The rest of the story is so bittersweet it had my heart breaking. Willow's love for Stavros is so bright and pure. She want's to be there for him and to just love him. His fears and his evil, evil parents have sone such a great job in teaching Stavros not to trust in love that he hurts Willow every time she gets too close. Every child, no mater how old, just wants to be loved by it's parents. Starvos's father's funeral was especially hard to read. That was such an evil, vindictive thing for that man to do. I cried for Stavros.
Willow, once again tries to comfort Stavros and to love him until she finally realizes that she loves him so much that all she wants is his happiness, even if it means walking away from the man she loves.
This book broke my heart. I was devastated all the way through. I have a love/hate relationship with Stavros for his cruel treatment of a woman he knows loves him and that he loves, but his fears are keeping him from embracing what they could have. He's coming around though and the end of this book gives me hope that he may actually be letting go of some of his fears. Lets hope that Willow's strength pays of for her in the long run.

An ARC for a bark :)
The barking:
[image error]
WHHHYYYYY MARIAN WHHHHHYYYYYYYY???
So things just got intense. (I'll try not to spoil it for you!) Ever since he fired her as his secretary, Willow's tried to forget all about him. However, Fate has something different in mind, as they end up in the same place... if Stavros thought it was hard getting her out of his mind then, he's officially crossed that line of no return.
Book two kept me on my toes for a bit because Stavros can be so hot and cold sometimes, it's interesting to see what he'll allow himself to believe and what he'll do on a whim without thought.
The flow and pace was fast enough to get things moving but not so fast that I couldn't revel in their emotions. Stavros is still my favorite GB (Greek Billionaire) because he's a little different in this one, yearning to figure out just what does it for him and why only Willow can do it.
Of all the pairs Marian's written, I'll say that this couple is different. I can't put my finger on it, because the drama is still Korean-Drama perfection, and although there is that passion to fight for love (one-sided sometimes), it's... I don't know. But it's freakishly awesome. :3 If I had to say something solid, it's that these two are both messed up and yet struggle to do what it takes (via their limit) to be with the other. The difference with them and the rest may be that they're a little more cautious or less likely to assume too much.
I recommend this to those who love a good romance with two mess-ups and a 'what if' that actually was played upon. Caution, though, this isn't a standalone. Obviously.
Happy Reading :)

I don't know why it to me long to read and review this but I'm regretting it now.
Ms. Tee this put me to tears. I can really feel connected to the characters and at the same time I'm frustrated over their stubborness. I liked how you're able to put some sense of humor in those serious situations. Then there's the four little words, I mean five little words that Stavros is feeling but there's alway a peiod after that word.
I knew this wouldn't have the happy ending to their book but still I'm quite angry with Stavros right now with what he made Willow do. Willow is much more of a martyr right now, and I felt for her when she wants to prove Stavros her love for him by that arrangement they have.
Although they have their intimate moments , their despair over one another is greater. I mean in terms of their love for another.
I can't wait for Stavros to realize that Willow does love him and all the decisions she made was because of that love.

I received an ARC from author in exchange for a review.
Willow and Stavros meet again. Stavros deliberately searches her out, unable to stay away. Willow lays down an ultimatum: 7 days that Stavros will be hers to do as she asks. He agrees, but only if she walks away and stays away at the end. Willow hopes that Stavros will be able to see what she sees: a man who can love and who could be loved. Hopefully, he'll stay and love her. Of course, as with Ms. Tee's writing, nothing goes as planned.
Since the story has gotten deeper, we meet some of Stavros' friends, who are shocked that he would date his secretary, but are pleased with his choice, somewhat.
I enjoyed this third installment a lot! I read it in a few hours - I was so hooked! I cried, but I laughed, too - so much! I was laughing so loudly, it was a wonder my coworkers didn't hear and ask me if I was crazy! That scene with her cousin: EPIC FUN!!!
I'm wondering now, how much more crazy Willow will bring to the next installment?

Devasted
I read it at once...and I'm devasted.I don't know how to handle thatkind o f pain and I don't believe that two sos deserve that anountof suffering. All the funny spontaneus spirity of Willow was drawned by her constant fear and her incapacity of being real to her feelings. How many time to realize that love is to make us happy ? And Stravos? How many time to realize that life is to be lived not to hide behind our past. Everybody has a secret or past that want to keep behind..
Waiting every minute to the last book and hoping the happy ever after to come with fireworks ! ;o)

I am loving these two characters. Willow and Stavros certainly know how to bring the drama. Trying to find their footing in a journey through insecurities, mistrust, lies, manipulation and betrayals is hard. Yet although they keep hurting each other, they can't seem to stay away from one another. Their heartbreaking and frustrating story is a must read.

Oh my how am i going to wait for the next part of this series. Willow and Stavros are so in love with each other. Willow amazes me with her strength especially seeing where she came from in her life. Stavros loves he simply doesn't believe that he is worthly of being loved. This book had me in tears and I can't wait for the next book to see if Stavros understands why Willow did what she did and how much she loves him. How you can love someone so much that their love is more important than your own.

I loved the beginning of the prologue- "Recommended playlist: Salted Wound by Sia, We’ve Only Just Begun by The Carpenters.
I loved that the Willow loves him desperately, but understands that she must set him free.
I loved this book. I did not give it five stars because it is the middle in the Stavros and Willow trilogy, not a stand-alone and that makes me crazy!
I can't wait to read the next book in this trilogy. I received a complementary copy from the author in return for an honest review.

I was given a copy by the author for an honest reveiw. Willow and Stavros is back in this third part of "Love, Your Greek Billionaire". And the secrets keep coming to light. Boy I thought the darkness would be put in the shade. But things just got black in Stavros life. I knew that he had problems that came from his bio parents. Cant call them parents exactly. But Willow is bound and determined to love him. There is a cliff hanger here so hold on. Personaly cant wait to see this thru to the end. Marian Tee does it again.

Ahhh!! Love but hurt at the same time..
Once again another great book to add to Willows and Stavros story.. But why oh why do I feel like crying!! :( I hurt just reading about the trials Willow goes through to show her love and the fact that Stavros can't see it! Excited to read the last book and crossing my fingers for a little teaser soon!! Must read that will leave you hanging over their edge of your seat.

I have never read a book with someone crying so much. It makes you really think about love and how it affects everyone differently. To think about it, they are quite similar in character and the experiences they had when they were young. Enjoyed every little apart of the book. Moving on to the last book now. Cant wait

Enough with the cliffhangers
I didn't like that it ended with a cliffhanger AGAIN! Ugh! I hate cliffhangers! It kept me interested on every level. I'm just glad they finally had sex. I wish the mother would have gotten nothing. Or for karma to come back and bite her in the toush.

I really enjoyed this series its a definite spin from a mixture of different types of novels you got romance, suspense, mystery, and a little erotica all mixed in to one now i can't wait for the last book so i can find out just what happens to stavros and willow. Any idea when that will be out?
June 4, 2015
I love this book. But their issues and stubbornness gets me so very frustrated! They better get a happy ending coz I have invested so much of my emotions on these two. And just like the first book, this one is also very well-written.
October 6, 2015
I think I had higher hopes for this one. Stavros and Willow were very difficult for me to connect with and I kept hoping that the moment would happen for me when I felt fully invested in their saga.
December 15, 2015
Honestly I really can't why people just don't say exactly what they are thinking. Don't try yo make the other person come to a conclusion by playing done stupid game. Don't martyr yourself just speak up.
March 30, 2015
Can't wait to read about what's in store for willow and her billionaire. Love all your books great job! I especially love her name for him
March 29, 2015
Love me some Greek!

Book 3, please! I'm dying here. Please heal my aching broken heart (for both characters).
