Big Greek Baby Secret
Three unforgettable days,
Two lovers, 5000 miles apart,
One big baby secret…
Maxine White is stuck in a rut, with lofty aspirations, and yet no idea of how to pursue them. Presented with the opportunity to fly from chilly Wisconsin to sun-scorched Greece, she gladly seizes it. But when her work conference there is canceled at the last minute, she’s left with three days to fill, and that’s when she meets him…
Dimitri is a Greek Adonis, straight from the cover of her romantic beach read of choice. He’s charming, alluring, and above all else, mysterious. Indeed, she soon gets the funny feeling there’s something he’s not telling her…
Throwing caution to the wind, Maxine falls head-over-heels for him, but soon faces the fact that it was a mere three-day romance; a brief a holiday fling. Returning to dusky Wisconsin, It’s only three months later that she realizes he’s has left her with a life-changing discovery—she’s pregnant, and she doesn’t even know the father’s full name!
As she sets out to discover her holiday lover’s true identity – and inform him about their baby secret – Maxine uncovers a tale of wild romance, noble heritage, and a lonely billionaire in desperate need of a woman to love, and a family all of his own…
This is the third book in Holly Rayner's Billionaires of Europe series.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.
In this book we Maxine and Dimitri. Maxine is in Greece for a business conference that has just been canceled. When she is told she has a vacation on the company and to have fun she plans on just that. Little did she know her first stop would be trespassing on Dimitri's property. Little did she know this mistake would turn out to be the best thing for her. Dimitri is is shipping and the strike that has cancelled Maxine's conference has also made his job so much harder. So when he sees a beautiful woman on his property he wonders if she could be just what he needs to help with all his stress. Can these two find a HEA after the vacation is over or will it just be that fun time they once had?
This is a great story. It has it's ups and downs I really want to tell you about. However I don't want to ruin it for any other readers. I will say that this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

This story was a combination of both sweet, romantic and sexy read and somewhat angsty and mysterious elements to it because when Maxine finally realizes what she took home with her, her hot and sexy mystery man who turns out has a sad past filled with guilty and misconceptions against his family. I loved his name as well, Andreas! ;)
These two have to go through some obstacles and jump through some hoops to reach their happily ever after but at the end everything worked out <3
I also loved Maxine's character so much! She knew what she wanted and was determined to find the father of her baby no matter what... of course, because of the circumstances of Andreas's past, he almost let her go once and he actually let her leave the first time they were together, those three days that Maxine had a paid vacation when... can't spoil everything for you guys, so go and read this story, you won't regret it :)

What could go wrong on a paid work vacation? A strike at the airlines leaves Maxine's schedule wide open. During this time she meets a man named Dimitri and he offers to be her tour guide showing her the places real Greeks go to and not the touristy places. You can tell there is chemistry between them but with her inexperience and him obviously hiding something it takes way longer for them to give in. But a few months later, after vomiting on a guys shoe at the club, Maxine discovers that shes pregnant. We follow as her and best friend go on the hunt trying to search down the man who they know nothing about. Did I forget to mention that Dimitri isnt his real name?
Maxine is a strong female character who goes after what she wants. She wanted the work trip, wanted to tour the city, wanted to find a job near the water etc. Her and Katie are great together. Everyone needs the best friend who will push you out of your comfort zone but support you at the same time. I really liked her.

Claiming Her Big Greek!
She's finally traveling, even if it's a work trip, when the event's cancelled, & she's suddenly left with the opportunity of a lifetime...
A work-paid Vacation! Whoo Hoo!
Now, with the Freedom to explore Greece at her leisure, she decides to take some risks she mightn't've otherwise taken...
He's living under a FAKE Name, hiding from a hurtful past, what he meets her...
To say she pulls him outta his shell into the living again is an understatement...
It's only after she's gone that he realizes what a mistake he's made in letting her go, but he's too wrapped up in wallowing TO. GO. GET. THE. GIRL...
Instead, she's the one desperately searching for a Big Greek Ghost like a Needle in a Haystack...

3 1/2 stars for me. A rushed section took half mark off for me.
A sweet holiday romance, Maxine was a sweet young woman traveling abroad for the first time, on a work event when unforeseen circumstances cancel her meetings and she spends her 3 day with a Greek she unexpectedly meets.
Dimitri has secrets, after tragedy he hides away yet Maxine sees him as a wonderful guy so he seems to come out his shell.
After a sad goodbye they both miss each other and upon finding she’s pregnant she sets out to find her Greek daddy.
A bit of drama not much tbh they get their hea
I felt the finding and getting back together rather rushed and a bit disappointing. Denitrification seemed heartless with legal papers and it just didn’t seem to fit the man she knew, after a great read upto then and a lovely epilogue.
Enjoyable over all.

Maxime was out of Wisconsin for the first time for work.
Or that was the plan, but thanks to strikes the conferention she was going to was cancelled, leaving her with three days holiday in Greece.
Walking on the beach so goes a little to far and meets Dimitri at the beach of his villa.
He is living there out of the world, but after talking with Maxime he wants to know her better and he offers her to show her the island as guide. She syas yes and three romantic days with them exploring the island follow. On the last evening they can;t say goodbye and Maxime stays the night.
I could have done with a little more details of this night, because with a handsome man like Dimitri it would have been a very hot one, but okay.
He lets her go home and she goes. Both can't forget each other, but only after some time Maxime discovers she took home a present, his baby.
Since he didn't give her his real name and since he moved, she has difficulties to find him.
And will he believe her story when they meet again?
For that you have to read this book, you won't regret it when you are into a sweet Greek billionaire romance.

Clean contemporary romance between a mysterious man & naive woman on her 1st international trip
The author does a great job describing the overall plot of the story, so to prevent the possibility of accidentally revealing a twist, I will not add anything further about the plot.
A few of the scenes really made me long to travel to Greece and the Islands around it, especially as it has only been about 2 months ago that I visited my first authentic Greek restaurant (so good and the scenes where they discuss food made me hungry :) ).
This story is a clean romance, with no adult language remembered, fade out intimate scenes, and no violence.
I volunteered to leave a honest review of an ARC from the author and Booksprout.

I just loved Maxine and "Dimitri" they are both such great characters with the innocence of Maxine having never traveled nor had much of a love life and Dimitri struggling with wanting to spend time with her and falling for her while knowing he has a secret. There are loads of lol moments as well as sexual tension along with will they or won't they get it on. After Maxine got back from her work vacation it was great to see her really star to work out what she wanted in life and I just wanted her to hurry up and go find Dimitri thank god for her friend Katie! This was a great read and now I want to go back and read the first 2 books in the series :D

Loved it!!! Of course, I’m a Holly Raynor fan, I might just be a bit biased. The story was well written and flowed smoothly with logical stages. The characters were terrific. Maxine and Dimitri/Andreas meet on a Greek Isle, followed by three days of close interactions. Can you imagine anything more romantic? Neither can I. The chemistry between them practically sizzles off the page. I was absolutely hooked from beginning to end of this one. If you’re a fan of Holly Raynor, or not really, this book is a must read.

In the last year I have started reading the books written by this author and most of them I have just been fascinated by. This one, however, I just loved!!! It had a really good story line that felt just complete while reading it. More or less everything about this story felt right while reading, and the love story being told was a real feel good story. Of those I think there is just not enough of!!! Feel good stories as all feel good things can never be too many of in any way. So if you are looking for a feel good book to read in an evening this could very well be a good option for you.

This is an amazing and engaging heartfelt romance with a grabbing well-developed plot and is the perfect read for anyone who wants something good to read. It is emotionally deep and beautiful; a fast pace page-turner; with an interesting storyline. It is well written, consistent, relatable, heart-warmingly beautiful, and a fast pace page-turner. Wonderful characters that are complete each other. Quite enjoyable and I look forward to reading more from Holly Rayner.

Fairytale story with beautiful people inside and out.
She doesn’t care for his money and he loves idea of having baby and family.
After everything is in clear they don’t jump to marriage,they try to know each other better. This part of story is not developed.
Most part of the book takes time when she is in Greece and he acts as “guide” on island. They having fun,nothing else.
The baby making part is behind close door.
All together nice,relaxing book

A really good secret baby romance. 💖🤰💖
Maxine is stuck in a boring job and needs a break. She gets it when she volunteers to go to Greece for a business trip. When she gets there and meets "Dimitri" and falls in love. From there... it's a fun ride. The characters are well defined and they keep you rooting for them throughout the story. It's not really a "clean" story but what happens is behind the scenes. It's a good book.💞❤️️💞

This love story is about Maxine and Dimitri and how they fell in love on an island in Greece. The majority of the story takes place over the span of three days when Maxine is in Greece for a conference, which was cancelled once her plane landed. Dimitri is a complete gentleman, almost too good to be true. He has shut himself off from love and all others due to a tragedy in his past. This is a quick read with a happily ever after.

I have read a lot of Holly’s book and have enjoyed them all and this one was no different. She has this ability to really pull you in when you read her books. Great characters and a great storyline. I love the chemistry between these two and they fit so well together. It was so easy to get caught up in their romance. So good highly recommended.

This book was frustratedly romantic as the characters, Andreas/Dmitri and Maxine endure their vacation fling and its consequences while dealing with their own insecurities and secrets. This book was very scenic while the characters bonded to a great level, Katie is the best friend who encourages Maxine to find her baby's father and a great supporting character.

First read from this author and I will say she did a fantastic job. I really enjoyed reading about the characters and their development in the story. I don't see way Andreas had use a fake name he could've just used his real name to Maxine. But then again it would e taken away the excitement on Maxine's part on find out who he really was. Now after reading this book I want to visit Greece and possibly Barkas(if there is such an island) either way going to Greece would be find with me.

This was a sweet, cute romance. I liked both of the characters, and I was rooting for them. I thought that the way everything was set up was nice, as it wasn't as farfetched as it could've been. Just a bit of happenstance. At any rate, I really enjoyed this story, and I will read more by Holly Rayner.
