Abby Green spent her teens reading Mills & Boon romances. She then spent many years working in the Film and TV industry as an Assistant Director. One day while standing outside an actor's trailer in the rain, she thought: "there has to be more than this". So she sent off a partial to Mills & Boon. After numerous rewrites, they accepted her first book and an author was born. She lives in Dublin, Ireland and you can find out more here www.abby-green.com
The storyline in this book was fantastic and grabbed my attention so much that I was unable to put the book down until I had read every single page. Epilogue with their cute kids and the fairy tale element was fantastic. I loved how Sofie redeemed this broken man. A great read from Abby Green as always! ❤️
virgin heroine, playboy hero, no other man or other woman drama, no cheating!
Very cute, clean and lovely story. Our heroine is a modern Cinderella living in Scotland and working in a hospital where she meets the hero, who had an accident and lost his memory. It’s basically a sleeping beauty remake with the hero as the sleeping beauty lol! Actually she wakes him up with a kiss and since he doesn’t remember who he is he asks her if he can live with her. Insta lust brings them to go at it like rabbits even if she’s a virgin ( she took care of her parents until they died so she never dated) and after some days he recovers his memory. Guess what. He’s a penniless ex con with issues with mafia and he’s married with 7 children. Nooooo, I’m joking! He’s a Greek billionaire and he’s single of course. Lucky lucky girl! Aaaaannnndddd… he asks her if she would go with him to Greece since they are so hot together. Lucky girl says yes and they keep on doing it on every surface available and on every position allowed by gravity and then some. The hero, accustomed to models thin and flat as a plank is apparently totally stoned by the heroine’s sexy curves and every time he sees her he has to swallow several times to avoid salivating over his expensive suits. The heroine is a naive and innocent slutty virgin with a heart of gold and of course she soon falls in love with her sugar daddy ehem hero… But he doesn’t do feelings. You know, he had this one big trauma when he was only a child, his mega yacht exploded with all his family inside and under his eyes. Scary! So now he will never ever have feelings again because feelings are baaaad and you suffer and you’re hurt eventually. When the heroine understands that they are going nowhere she decides to leave him but he asks her to stay some more time. He’s having a hard time trying to build his new image of reliable man not playboy so if he’s seen with her publicly he will be trustworthy again and his business will improve. Not that it should matter since he’s filthy rich already. But someone said that you can’t be too rich or too thin. Whatever. The heroine stays some more time but surprise surprise, just before leaving she finds out she’s pregnant. Because they always had sex unprotected since she was on the pill. And the hero hits the roof because he thinks she trapped him. After all, it’s her fault he had unprotected sex with a woman he only met two days before trusting her when she told him she was on the pill. It’s her fault he couldn’t bother with condoms and left her with the responsibility of contraception. Who wouldn’t do that, since she had so much experience before? Ah no, sorry, she was a virgin. Then luckily it doesn’t take much time to the hero to realize that he loves her and all he wants is to marry her and have a team of brats to make his life less lonely and happier. And those big boobs always for him to touch. Yay! That’s it! So we end happy and diabetics due to the amount of sweetness in the end with the hero and the heroine welcoming their fourth child after ten years of perfect marriage. Fun and sweet and politically correct with a small amount of angst in it. The hero was not bad, only a little traumatized and cynical but he was immediately smitten by the heroine. She was innocent but not dumb and had some self respect, even if I think she lacked some personality and was too submissive to the hero. Anyway it was a safe and satisfying reading.
От “Спящата красавица” (в случая - красавец), скачаме директно в “Пепеляшка” (и милионера, закъде без пари в Романсландия…), размесено с малко туристически забележителности и амнезия. Героите са много сладки и няма липса на комуникация.
What a story. I wasn't going to read it but I bought a series and it was in it. But it was pretty swoon worthy. It was like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Pretty Woman all in one! A fairytale for sure. I really loved Achilles at first, until I didn't but then I did again. The epilogue was awesome. The story itself was awesome. I loved how much he wanted her. No matter what he did, which pissed me off by the way, you knew he loved her. The phony people he hung out with, and no wonder he was the way he was. I liked the man they found on the mountain. He may have had amnesia, but that was really him. The cynical jerk is who he learned to be, but when he woke up, after she kissed him, he was Achilles. Sofia was a great heroine, even if she put out two days after he woke up, which I thought was crazy, but it did work out. She really loved him and was overwhelmed by his sensual onslaught. Anyone would be. He was her first of course, and he always wanted her. Praised her, pleased her. It was pretty hot. yes he was mean in the end but he made up for it. And it didn't take him but a few days to realize he screwed up either. And again, the epilogue was priceless. Glad I read this safe story.
What a fabulous story from AG. I do love her books and this one - a variation on the Sleeoing Beauty theme was simply delicious. Great hero and heroine, an adult relationship and no other men or women to complicate things. Just a very tragic backstory for the hero. I loved this book.
The Kiss She Claimed From The Greek is Abby Green's lovely take on the beautiful fairytale Sleeping Beauty. However, in this case the sleeping beauty is a dark and mysterious Greek who thinks his name is Darius.
When Sophie kisses the mysterious Darius awake, she has no clue it's the start of the most exciting adventure of her life. With the little Scottish Island booked to the brim; Darius recovers from falling down a mountain at Sophie's cottage. Their attraction is mind blowing and the morning Darius wakes with his memory fully recovered, he invites Sophie to come with him on a the most exciting worldwide adventure.
Darius, who is actually Achilles Lykaios, billionaire and owner of a renowned family legacy is absolutely taken by Sophie. She is the complete opposite of any woman in his world but he's not ready to let her go yet. Sophie isn't ready to leave Achilles side either and throws caution to the wind and accepts this once in a lifetime invitation to join him. As soon as Sophie is exposed to Archilles world, doubt creeps in. Sophie isn't sure she's cut out for the cut-throat world Achilles belongs in and to save grace she thinks the best decision is to go home. Departing with shock news, is confessing her love enough to bring Achilles out of his self-imposed rejection of love and family?
A lovely story. I loved how Abby Green demonstrated the night and day differences of the world Sophie was used to. I loved the little details like when Sophie sneezed after smelling overpowering perfume. Achilles was good inside and out but the past tragedy of his family has changed him. He knows Sophie is one in a million but is she enough to bring him his happy ever after?
Sofie memandangi pasien yang sudah tidak sadarkan diri beberapa hari itu. Sebagai tukang bersih-bersih di rumah sakit, seharusnya dia tidak berlama-lama di dalam kamar perawatan eksklusif. Tapi ada keinginan besar yang membuatnya mencium pria itu. Dan sesaat kemudian, pasien pria itu terbangun. Sayangnya pria itu tidak mengingat siapa dirinya, kecuali menyebutkan namanya, Darius.
Setelah dinyatakan boleh meninggalkan rumah sakit, Sofie membawa Darius ke rumahnya. Rumah Sofie memiliki banyak kamar, dan memang sering disewakan jika musim turis tiba. Baik Darius dan Sofie menyadari ketertarikan antara mereka. Tidak butuh waktu lama keduanya menghabiskan malam bersama. Darius membuka pintu pengalaman baru bagi Sofie. Ketika Darius menemukan kembali ingatannya, dia menyadari bahwa dia belum bisa melepaskan Sofie.
Jadi, nama asli Darius adalah Achilles. Seorang miliarder pengusaha konstruksi yang mendunia. Dia menawarkan kebebasan dan kesempatan bagi Sofie untuk melihat belahan dunia lain dan memanjakan diri sendiri. Sofie sendiri didorong rasa penasaran dan juga belum siap berpisah dari Achilles, akhirnya menyetujui untuk mengikuti Achilles.
Sofie yang naif dan polos, Achilles yang belum sembuh dari trauma masa lalu. Kisah keduanya mengalir cepat, konfliknya pun diselesaikan dengan cepat.
One kiss. That’s all innocent Sofie MacKenzie intends to steal from the gorgeous sleeping stranger. But her moment of complete irrationality wakes him up! And awakens in her a longing she’s never experienced.
Suffering from amnesia, Achilles Lykaios has forgotten everything: his tragic loss, his immense fortune, even his name. He only knows the intensity with which he wants Sofie. But when Achilles remembers the truth, he must return to his glamorous Athens life. There’s one last thing he needs to know…if Sofie will come with him!
This story is a lovely reimagining of Sleeping Beauty. As with all Abby Green books, this one ticked all the HP boxes and then some. A louche but charming hero and a sweet and determined heroine made for an interesting couple. My favourite part... the adorable epilogue! Great way to spend a lazy Sunday morning.
"Bukankah seharusnya pangeran yang mencium sang putri agar bangun?" (Hal.249) .
Pertemuan yang kemudian membangunkan seorang pria tampan yang tak sadarkan diri melalui satu kecupan yang diberikan oleh Sofie. Ingatan pria bernama Archilles yang hilang menghadirkan pertanyaan yang ketika ingatan pria itu kembali, keadaan menjadi tak sama dan menyajikan fakta tak terelakkan bahwa kehidupan Sofie dan Archilles begitu berbanding terbalik... Namun, bagaimana nasib momen dan percik ketertarikan dalam interaksi Archilles dengan Sofie? .
🐺 Kisah sang taipan yg terbangun menjadi tulisan pertama Abby Green yg saya baca dan secara pribadi ceritany menarik! Kisah romansa dgn tema seorang pria kaya dan gadis yg memiliki kehidupan yg cukup rasanya cukup umum dijumpai pada kisah romantis. Namun, karya Abby Green ini jadi salah satu novel Harlequin yg menurut saya menguatkan pendapat bahwa kisah romansa seperti ini tetap memiliki pembaca dn punya pesonanya🤭🤍
🐺 Sejak awal membaca novel ini, saya dibuat terhanyut sekaligus penasaran dgn kisah di novel ini. Selain itu, dibuat penasaran dgn keterkaitan serigala di kover dgn novelny, yg ternyata bagian dari identitas dari salah satu tokohnya (tenang, ini bukan kisah human yg bisa berubah wujud jadi 🐺) 😊🙏 Bahasa terjemahanny juga indah, seperti novel² HQ yg pernah saya baca. Selain itu, konflik masing-masing tokoh, terutama kisah hidup Archilles yg menyebabkan trauma, menambah bumbu konflik juga cukup memantik emosi. Demikian, namun saya pribadi juga kesal dgn cara Archilles yg rasanya cukup egois dan sejak awal memang cukup jauh dari kesan 'pria green flag' versi saya🙏
🐺 Mendekati akhir, beberapa bagian rasany menjadi cukup cepat, sehingga terasa blm menggugah emosi seprt pada awal cerita. Namun, akhir dari novel ini membuat saya bergumam: "Benar juga pertanyaan Darius itu!"
Penyuka romance apalagi novel HQ, boleh coba baca novel ini juga😊🙏
Sweet heroine is a hospital cleaner in her small Scotish village. Hero is comatose after a hiking accident.

Sleeping beauty awakes with a bad case of amnesia and a hankering for the heroine.
Heroine takes him in to her home. He takes her virginity. And then remembers a few days later.
He's a billionaire with a tragic backstory and he has to get back to business. He convinces the heroine to tag along on his adventures. They visit London, Athens, and New York City before the heroine decides she can't stay with a man who won't commit.
Hero finally realizes she's the best thing that ever happened to him. There's a cute epilogue with 3 kids and a fourth on the way.
This is the 3rd book in the series and it didn’t disappoint. The h met me H in the hospital, he was in a coma from a fall, she was so enchanted by him, she kissed him awake. They had unbelievable chemistry and started an affair. The h was a very beautiful, sweet and kind person who hadn’t experience life because she had taken care of her parents. The H was emotionally closed off because of a childhood tragedy. An unexpected pregnancy brought them together. Great epilogue.
Not a very memorable book but I enjoyed it enough to not dnf it. Very slight OW drama and the ending with 4 kids and one of them was literally a new born was cute. I found in some parts it dragged a bit.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Not much of a plot....too many sexy scenes involved....he is rescued from a fall in the mountain....is in a semi-coma...Sophie, who is a cleaner in the hospital goes into his room and kisses him....he awakes and wants to go to her home to recuperate.
They become lovers immediately and gradually his memory comes back....then he takes her to Athens and his island....he is lost without her....she tries to go home to the island off Scotland but ends up staying with Achilles.
