She wanted a real marriage!
Greece--its shimmering seas and brilliant blue skies were a photographer's choice location to shoot. And that was Kate Walsh's only reason for being there--until Philip Andronikos turned her safe, if lonely, world upside down.
His magnetism skimmed over her skin, awakening senses she hadn't known existed. He was alternately infuriating and seductive, and she could love him, easily. But he belonged to another, and affairs weren't her style.
The powerful land developer believed in achieving his dreams. And Kate Walsh could make all of those dreams come true--if she would trust both her heart .. . and the strength of his love

How can a story with some fun, OTT scenes end up being boring overall?
The H/h meet in rural Greece after a mild earthquake has deposited boulders on the heroine's rental car. The H/h have to share a room and the hero has lots to say about promiscuousEnglish Australian women.
But the hero comes off as a prude rather than an honorable alpha, I'm afraid. Esp. when heroine finds out he has a fiance (OW).
Now the OW was fun - a total snob,a drunk, a promiscuous woman with a mean mouth. And she has an equally slimy brother. When the hero catches her "sunbathing" nude with a young man, he breaks off the engagement. OW vows revenge.
OW gets her revenge - aided by her slimeball brother. They unearth a salacious story from the heroine's former boyfriend, which puts off the hero. And then they plant heroin/talcum powder in the h's bag as she's leaving the country brokenhearted from her break up. It's more complicated than that - but that's what it boils down to.
Boogenhagen has already describe the cockroach horror of the heroine stay in jail, so we'll just skip over that.
And I did a lot of skipping - even though there was plenty of drama and action. The heroine even had a backbone - not sleeping with the hero until he ditched the OW. So what was the problem?
I guess I didn't care about the heroine's photography or the hero's hotel chain or the conversations that were at cross-purposes or what they were eating or how the heroine read up on Greek customs. There was a lot of filler, a lot of characters in and out, so there was no emotional pay off. Plus - no comeuppance for the OW and her evil brother. Having the H control your trust fund doesn't count. *sigh*

Re Wife for a Night - Angela Devine gives us the first of two HP outings. This one takes us to Greece with a 26 yr old freelance photographer h who accidentally meets a 30 something traditional HP Greek H during an earthquake.
The h is traveling around Greece taking pictures for her archaeologist friend when the book opens. She considers herself a failure next to her high achieving parents, but she is a really good photographer - she just has no self confidence. She meets the H after a landslide during an earthquake messes up her car. He rescues her, but on the journey to the nearest town, the road is damaged and they have to share a room for the night.
It is instant mutual attraction, tho nothing more that a kiss happens. One or two serenades from a bouzouki playing H later, and the h is ready to throw her bonnet over the windmill and declare true love forever. The H has more restraint tho, so he leaves the h the next day before she wakes.
The h makes her way back to her friend's archaeological site and there we find that the H is a wealthy hotelier, who used to be a poor goat boy, and is also engaged to one of his investor's daughters. The H tracks the h down, ostensibly to offer her a freelance photography job taking pictures of one of his resort hotels and his new yacht available for summer charters, but really to lurve it up with the h for a few days - in spite of his fiancee.
The h is initially resistant, tho all the secondary characters are ready to pimp her out, as she thinks engaged people ought to not be engaged if they are going to be dating. The H displays some wonderful old skool HP tropey chauvinism as he remarks that the h traipses all over Europe without a male escort, so why should she be afraid of a little affair on his yacht for a few days.
The h firmly asserts that just because she travels doesn't mean she is a tarty tramp and the H automatically assumes she is wandering around doing random unicorn petting's as a pure virtuous maiden. (The h isn't, she got into an affair with another man and then found out he was married. But it was too late, unicorn grooming status had been revoked.)
The h refuses the affair offer, but she doesn't refuse the very lucrative picture taking offer as the H says he will pay her enough that she won't have to work on spec for a whole year and can work on the artistic side of her career. The only stipulation the H has is that she not reveal anything personal about the H to anybody at any time. The h is delighted with the job opportunity and solemnly swears to keep every H detail a deep dark secret.
So it is off with the H we go and we soon arrive to take pictures of the H's yacht and his hotel and meet his continually drunk, very snotty, brat fiancee. There is a very uncomfortable lunch scene, an accident with a spear gun where the h valiantly saves the H's male secretary from bleeding to death and the H declares that he loves the h.
She isn't buying that tho, and the H tells her he will break up with the Lush Brat Fiancee and marry the h instead, cause her sweet innocence and artistic picture taking move him like no other woman ever. The h's treacherous body syndrome, (thanks Katie V and Scully,) forces the h into admitting that if the H did do all those things she would be delighted to share a pink purple passion mojo moment of boudoir bliss.
The next day the Lush Brat Fiancee's Brother shows up and tries to warn the h off the H, the h plays it off, but since he was the drunken idiot that almost caused the H's secretary to bleed to death, we know right away he is a wrong'un.
The H returns to take the h to another town a bit later and we get a mystical stop the car and give the H a massage moment from the h, when the H complains of shoulder tension. Then we have an H/h argument over the Slimy LBF brother - the H warns the h to avoid him, cause he is hiding evil under his good looks, and the h refuses more H lurve club offers cause the H is STILL engaged. The H doesn't care, he is going to get the h anyways and based on Lush Brat's drinking and flirting with OM, she doesn't care if the H gets a side piece either. The h does care tho, cause she has standards, so we are still having a big NO to the lurve mojo of the H.
We get some lovely Greek travelogue tho and the H is quite romantic in his declarations of how much the h has changed his outlook on things. The h confesses that she loves the H, tho it is a hopeless kinda of love thing as the H is STILL engaged, and the H finds out that one of his main investors has died. Then the night of the big grand opening ball arrives.
The H makes a VERY public presentation of a HUGE diamond necklace to his Lush Brat Fiancee and then rails at the h when the Slimy Brother does a little consolation act towards her. The press reporter there asks if there is anything between the H and h and the H dismisses the h as mere employee who is leaving soon. The h is hurt, because three hours earlier she had been the love of the H's life and now she is not even worth addressing directly. The h agrees to go on a walk with the Slimy Brother the next day.
Slimy Brother takes her on the walk and also takes her to the local coffee house. Apparently, going to the local coffee house if you are female means that you are a tart. The H and h get into another argument about the Slimy Brother and the H giving his fiancee a diamond necklace, ignoring the h and then claiming AGAIN that he loves her, but he is STILL engaged and won't break it off.
But the H promises that this time, he will end his engagement. So the h goes for a walk with the H to take some scenery pictures and there is a hurt seagull that the H has to kill. The h wanders off to take pictures cause killing seagulls is NOT romantic and kinda ick, and she inadvertently takes pictures of Lush Brat Fiancee and her OM having a red passion moment, sans clothes, in the bushes.
The H wanders up to see what all the screaming is about and finds the OM and LBF and ends the engagement. There is an EPIC LBF temper tantrum and she even tries to push the h off the cliffs. The H doesn't want to hear it tho, cause her family would be destitute if it wasn't for him and tarty lushes just aren't his type. The Lush Brat vows revenge at the top of lungs, as the H and h wander off to have their own red passion moment, but at least they waited until they got to the H's home.
The h and H are planning a seekrit, press avoiding wedding now, even tho it has only been a few weeks and everything seems to be going just peachy and lovey dovey. Then the press shows up in all it's tacky paparazzi force and the H and h have to sneak away to avoid them. They have a nice little holiday, and then Lush Brat and fate strike.
Lush Brat puts out a press story that she dumped the H because the h is an Australian porno actress. The H finds out the executor of the investor that died called in his loans and he has to go off and fight for his hotels. Slimy Brother shows up at the H's and cons the h into letting him inside, then Slimy Brother let's the h's ex slime swiller seducer in to search the house without the h's knowledge. It turns out the ex h OM slime swiller is a reporter and while the h beats him up with her tennis racket, he still publishes a big story the h supposedly spilled about the H in several papers along with photos the h had taken that he stole when he broke in.
The H dumps the h pretty quickly when the story hits. Then, as she is getting ready to return to Australia cause the H won't believe she was set up. (Even tho her supposed friends repeatedly pimp her out and make her beg the H for forgiveness and he refuses,) the h gets arrested for possessing heroin and hauled off to jail after she leaves her back pack overnight at the cafe instead of taking it around with her. There is a dire jail cell attack by a cockroach that the h barely wins and the h has little knowledge of Greek to understand what people are telling her and no lawyer. So she rots in jail for a few days until the H eventually shows up to get her out.
Unfortunately AD has a bad habit of trying to create suspense by delaying the actual information about what has just happened, so instead of getting an explanation about why the H finally came to rescue the h, we get several pages of filler, including that the H went clothes shopping in Paris for the h, while she languished in jail, before the big finale rush to the HEA.
As we probably guessed, once I stopped hyperventilating over the EVIL Cockroach Jail Cell Attack, the Lush Brat's Slimy Brother set the h up. He let the h's slime swiller OM into the H's house to search it while he lured the h away with a game of tennis. Slimy Brother's trust fund is controlled by the H until he is thirty, so he thought if he drove the h away, the H would re-engage himself to his sister and continue to bail him out of his frequent bouts of trouble.
To ensure that the h went away for good, Slimy Brother left a talcum powder can full of heroin in her unattended bag and called the Greek police. But the H's servants knew the h was allergic to talc, and therefore would have never had any with her. The Slimy Brother got arrested on heroin smuggling charges and the outlook is not good for him.
So the h is cleared of all wrongdoing and the H saved his company and he got the h $100,000.00 in compensation for libel from the ex OM slime swiller who admitted he lied when the H went after him. The H and the h are getting married now, the H no longer has to pretend his h is only his wife for the night, as she is now his forever and the h will get a big photo gallery showing in Athens and they will have 3 kids for the pink sparkly whacktastic HEA.
Overall this was an entertainingly whacktastic HP outing - until we got to the evil jail cell cockroach attack, which utterly did me in and not even the Captain could save me.
As my cat Chester knows, when he decided to practice Single Solitary Male Predator behavior and bring us non-hunters a little shiny black carapaced gift from the back yard, I don't react well to cockroaches.
In fact, I irrevocably shattered three slate floor tiles with my cast iron skillet smashing that thing. Mr. boogenhagen had some unfortunate home repair to do and Chester got a very long lecture about what constitutes proper Alpha Cat predator prey while he was getting his teeth brushed - three times. Needless to say I fully support an amendment to HPlandia rules that says NO COCKROACHES IN HPLANDIA, EVER, they just completely freak me out and that inclusion knocked this book down a full star.
Otherwise, cockroaches and seagull killings aside, this was a tropy of the tropiest HP experience, with way too much Deus ex machina and draggy bits to be really enjoyable. But parts were entertaining and the Lush Brat was hilarious in her tantrums, so at least you can carry a can of Raid and a skillet if you read it. All in all there have been worse first time HPlandia voyages.

Ömrüm boyunca okuduğum en manyak hikayeydi.Çeviriden mi kaynaklanıyordu yoksa hikayenin yazılış tarzındanmı anlamadım ama cümleler arasında baya bir kopukluk vardı.Güleyim mi yoksa bu kitap bana tesadüf ettiği için ağlayayım mı bilemedim :D :D
Bir deprem sonuncu yunanlı iş adamı Andronikos ( umarım ismini doğru yazmışımdır :D ) ve fotoğrafçı Kate'in yolları kesişir :D Şimdi ilk görüşden bunların birbirlerine aşık olmalarından mı-ki hiç inandırıcı değildi sadece komikti-Andronikosun Kate şarkı söylemesinden mi bahs edeyim yoksa adamın sonradan nişanlı çıkmasından mı?? hele nişanlısı bunu aldatırken çalıların arkasında Kate manzara resmi çekeyim derken bunların uygunsuz fotosunu çeker :D Eee haliyle nişan bozulur ama İrene bunun intikamı alacam der ve bundan sonra komedi olaylar yumağı başlar:D İrene'nin kardeşi Stavros senmisin kardeşimin elinden nişanlısını alan der ve Kate'in şerefini lekelemek için Andronikos'la bunların küvette çekilmiş fotoğraflarını Kate'in eski sevgilisi-ki adam evli olduğunu bizim saf Kate'den gizlemiş ve kızımızı vakti zamanında kandırmıştır-ve ayrıca da gazeteci olan Leon'a satar.Bu komplo sonucu kızımız birden basında porno yıldızı olarak anılmaya(Irenenin uydurmaları) başlamasından sonra Andronikos'un kızıp da Kate'i terk etmesi sonucu bizimki evine Sidneye geri dönmek ister gözleri yaşlı ve kalbi yeniden kırılmış bir halde ama malesef Stavros yapmışdır yine yapacağını kızın çantasındaki pudranın içine eroin koyar ve bizim bahtsız Kate de hapsi boylamazmı? Sonrasında vefalı arkadaş Andrew Andronikos'u Parisde bulur da kızımız hapisten kurtulur ve bizimkiler evlenmeye karar verirler.
ne hikaye ama yazarın hayal dünyası baya bir genişmiş gelmeyen kalmadı kızımızın başına sayesinde :D :D

I'm not sure how this ended up on my TBR pile, but definitely I would recommend a pass.

Not bad, but not great. Our hero is kinda dumb. Just impulsive and dumb. He also makes wild assumptions about people with no actual proof. 'I'll make you and your girl pay!'...Oh no so many bad things are happening to my girl, she must suck, better ditch her since no one told me they would go directly after her after all. Yeah, heroine should just head on home and keep her career going, this dude might change his mind about you before you even get married, then where will you be? I say skip it.

“لم تتعرف يومًا على رجلٍ جذابٍ مثله؛ مغرور، مسيطر، مع ذلك حنونٌ وعاطفي” — حمقاء، أوهمها بالعطف والحنان، وما كان ذلك سوى غلافٍ رقيقٍ يواري خلفه جلافته وجفاؤه. جميع أفكاره مسكونة بالقمع والكبت، ويرى في المرأة البسيطة، المنغلقة على ذاتها، نموذجًا للأنثى المثالية المتكاملة. يا له من رجل بغيض!
وكيف أحبّته في ليلةٍ واحدة!!!!

وجدتها طريفة قليلا ممتعة شيئا ما بها طريقة جميلة في التشويق وطرح المواضيع ولكنها لا تمت للدين بصلة طريقة السرد والوصف فيها جيدة وأيضا تسلسل الأحداث شيق
النهاية سريعة شيئا ما
