About the author
Anne Hampson
150 books154 followersAnne Hampson was born on 28 November 1928 in England. At age six she had two ambitions: to teach and to write. Poverty after WWI deprived her of an education and at 14 she was making Marks & Spencer's blouses at one shilling (5p) each.
She retired when she married. Later, when her marriage broke up, she was homeless with £40 in her purse. She went back to the rag trade and lived in a tiny caravan. But she never forgot her two ambitions, and when Manchester University decided to trial older women she applied, and three years later had achieved one ambition, so set her thoughts on number two.
In 1969, her first novel, Eternal Summer, was accepted five days from posting and she soon had a contract for 12 more. From the caravan she went to a small stately home, drove a Mercedes and sailed on the QE2. From the first book, came over 125 more written for Mills & Boon, Harlequin and Silhouette. Alan Boon (the Boon of Mills & Boon) and she came up with the title for 'Harlequin Presents' over lunch at the Ritz. She suggested to Alan that they have a historical series. He told her to write one - it was done in a month, entitled Eleanor and the Marquis under the pseudonym Jane Wilby. She has the distinction of being number one in Harlequin Presents, Masquerade and Silhouette. Many of "Presents" have been reprinted many times (some as many as 16) and are now fetching up to $55, being classed as "rare" books.
She has had 3 awards, one at the World Trade Centre where she received a standing ovation from her American fans, who had come from many states just to meet her.
She was retired, but in 2005 she wrote two romance and crime novels, both of which were published by Severn House.
She passed away on 25 September 2014. She has been written her autobiography, entitled Fate Was My Friend.

I guess there's something terribly wrong with me because I saw this story in a totally different light than many.
Arrogant, chauvinistic, horny Greek dude chases a little English, blonde chick relentlessly until she finally splits before she succumbs to his wanton desires. Desperate for her lily pure action, he breaks down and asks her to marry him, all the while telling her that he doesn't love her but he's willing to keep her forever and ever, and they'll have all kinds of arrogant little sons and live happily ever after anyway. Even though she knows that he's got a dark streak from his "Pagan" background (Pagan, Pagan, Pagan…I heard the word “Pagan” enough to make me want to pull my hair out), she fa-la-las her way into this marriage for all the perks (HAWT sex, moola galore, and llluuurrrvvve – only on her side, of course.)
The guy makes no bones about being Mr. Greek-from- patriarchal-society-alphahole-submit-to-me-or-else-and-DON'T-cheat-if-you-know-what's-good-for-you. What does she do the first time something pierces that thin, insecure skin of her’s? Runs out and gets her a hot English guy and takes him to her aunt’s and uncle’s for lunch, and then rubs it in the H's face (Uh, helllloooo! Mean, Greek dude! Remember?) She’s then surprised and put out when he shakes her until her brain rattles. I’m not condoning him shaking her, mind you. I’m just saying that if you’re gonna poke a stick at a pissed off boar, don’t be shocked when it gouges you in the tush.
I guess I can’t really blame the girl for being insecure. She had everyone from his crotchety old mother, his uber sexy ex, and the sleezy male servant making her feel that she was on borrowed time before he started screwing everything in skirts, tossing her to the wayside, and marrying said sexy ex. Couple that with the H telling her that, although she’s got a nice package, she’ll never have his heart, a girl’s gonna have some doubts.
Of course she doesn’t say anything to him about everybody and their housekeeper warning her that hot Dora is next in line (Just like “Pagan, Pagan, Pagan,” you also had to listen to “Dora, Dora, Dora” ad nauseam. Kill the bitch already!) Instead, she bottles everything up, stews on it and lets it fester until she’s ready to call it quits but won’t tell him why. After numerous coincidental meeting with the ex that she told the H nothing about (There were three; Greece must be a small country) and transposing the antiquated attitude of every local onto her and the H’s relationship, she pops out of seemingly nowhere and starts giving him the cold shoulder in anticipation of him cheating on her and barring him from the goods (the very thing he gave up his bachelorhood for, dammit!) This is after previously being all submissive and available, making him feel like a stud. Well, you can guess what she gets when she starts poking a stick at the boar with blue balls--a typical AH non-con moment. Seriously, are you really surprised?
Towards the end, the h, not caring that she set off a ballistic missile the last time, takes up with the hot English dude again and gets caught by the sexy ex who can’t wait to call her out to the H. One guess what happens. Yep, he gives her the shakes…literally. She threatens to leave but he sports her off back to the island before she can make a break for it. Then one night at a party, she almost gets flattened by the car the H was driving, which drives him to bust open and come clean about having loved her but didn’t tell her because she was acting like she didn’t care anymore and was going to take off and take up with an English dude (He didn’t say specifically, but he didn’t have to).
So. I’m trying to decide how bad I am. Yeah, the H was a macho asshat, but he is a dominant, Greek alpha-male, and we’re supposed to think that’s hot. He treated her pretty good, actually, before she took up with blondie, and even after (Even though he messed on her and wanted her to tell him he’s her master.) He only got shaky with it after she got all passive-aggressive over his ex and started up with her boy toy. He didn’t force himself on her until she locked the door on him and bated him with “you can’t make me” after he was good and pissed off--adrenaline all pumping after ripping the door off its hinges. You don’t think she contributed to their problems at all? Hmmm? I have to think some more on it.

If I could give this a negative rating, I would. If I hadn't read other books, by Anne Hampson, I would swear off her for life. But since I know she is capable of some great entertainment, I will keep reading her. However, I give this barely a one star rating. This was just plain awful and all the WTF moments that I have come to love by this author, just fell flat!
The story opens with the hero deciding to propose marriage to the heroine since she won't agree to be his "pillow friend". (His words, not mine). The heroine decides to accept his proposal of marriage because she does actually love the hero, monster. (I never quite figured out, why) She justifies her decision by believing he is not capable of loving anyone, not even his own poor mother. Though after meeting his mother, I can actually understand why.
The sexual chemistry is hot and since our hero has had tons of experiences between the sheets, she figures great sex and lots of money is better than nothing.
If at this point, you haven't figured it out already, our heroine is not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer. Instead of a compatible marriage, filled with great sex she ends up with a cruel monster who roughs her up just for the hell of it, beats her when he finds out she had coffee with a friend and repeatedly rapes her because surprisingly she no longer feels anything for him, other than fear.
Of course, four pages from the end, he runs her over with his car, almost kills her, professes his love and we have a HEA. Just like that.
The End.

I know I shouldn't like this very non politically-correct story. But I love these old fashioned marriage tropes with an aggressively jealous rapey hero and a sweet young innocent. Now they call it BDSM and it's apparently all right but it's not allowed in standard contemporary romances.
The heroine was occasionally TSTL but only in terms of not communicating with her husband. There was an element of culture shock in such a short courtship and sudden-death marriage.
I find it very interesting, the emphasis on the Eastern culture of the Greek hero as opposed to the Western/English culture. I've never really considered Greek Culture as being Eastern. The influence on Western culture ignores the closeness of places like Turkey and the Eastern Mediterranean.
One of the things I didn't particularly like was the influence of the ex-pillow friend. To me there is an ick factor in having the landscape littered with former lovers of the hero. Especially when they burble on about the intimacy they shared with the hero.
In general I enjoyed the read though it's not one of my favourites.

I have read some bad Harlequin Romance novels in my time, but this takes the cake.
An example of the "dark and mysterious pagan" trend (but not too dark!) this story includes a proper English Rose, an exotic local with strange, barbaric, and pagan inhabitants (Greece? WTF) and some seriously abusive behavior.
What do I mean by seriously abusive behavior? Rape for starters! Also controlling and threatening behaviors, violent outbursts, and crazy levels of jealousy.
I know this was written in the late 70's, but seriously?

I normally like very much the books by this author. But here Anne Hampson is a writer of her time and influenced by it. That is, in this story the h. is abused by the H (so he is not a Hero at all) and although at the end, when h and H confess their love for each other, the H is again a reasonable, caring man, we cannot forget the mistreatment the heroine has had to suffer at his hands and the fear she had in front of his reactions.

After a third reading of this I can appreciate and understand why them more.
Published in 1979, it’s a classic Harlequin, with the classic characters.
There are lots of misunderstandings, angst, drama and romance.
A great book to wile away a couple of hours enjoying Greece and the islands around it.

Extremely outdated and very insulting for me as Greek!

She quickly refused Paul's proposition!
"I'd make it worth your while," he had promised. "You'd have a villa in the sun, a car and an ever increasing bank balance."
Knowing she was far from indifferent to this devastating Greek, Tina fled back to England.
When Paul followed and offered her marriage, Tina was faced with another decision. She wondered if her love for him would be enough to overcome their deep differences

A cruel, overpowering H and an incredibly stupid h. That combination leads to a lot of agressive behaviour from his side and a lot of passive-agressive behaviour from her side.
It was fascinating how stupid she was (she was really too dumb for this planet) and how he reacted to it again and again. On the surface it looks as if he is the dominant one in the relationship, but she could push his buttons so easily with all the stupid stuff she did that in reality he was her puppet.

i simply cud not like the book becoz it reminded me of another book which i liked very much. n this was actually Fetters of Hate, written by mrs anne herself. so i dunno why mrs anne wrote love of a pagan which was only a pale imitation of the other one

The hero is a crazy creepy monster. The heroine was an idiot and blinded by love, if you could call it that.. all together the ending was short and well the whole story line was fucked up. Never again. 1.5 stars.. cause I did enjoy some of it.

I gave this an extra star for all I learned about Greek history and culture, and a few words of the language, too. I like being informed by a novel, as well as being entertained.
However, I can't say I approve of some of the ethnic stereotypes, especially since my ancestors are southern Italian, not all that far from Greece, and have had to endure their share of uncalled for remarks and prejudices. Their was a bit too much British pomposity here, especially from the h's aunt and uncle, even from the h herself. I could understand some of Tina's feelings, but not all of them.
Tina and the h, Paul (one of those sexy, autocratic alpha Greeks) get married, after Paul fought a losing battle to get her to be his mistress. Of course, her belief that lust was all he felt for her and the fear that, once his desire for her body waned he'd want a divorce, prevented Tina from being really happy in her marriage, especially since she was crazy in love with him. As for Paul, it seems he had his suspicions as well, since Tina was at a low point financially when she accepted his proposal and in the back of his mind was the idea that she married him for his money.
To make things worse, there's her mother-in-law's open hostility toward her, and this old lady sure is a bitch! Mrs. Cristos deliberately refuses to speak English, so Paul has to interpret everything that's said, and when she and Tina are alone, she spitefully tells her that Paul should have married Dora (a former "pillow friend"), who she sees as the ideal daughter-in-law, despite Dora's having dumped Paul and married another man, but now that she's a widow, what the heck?
Then, there's Dora, and since she's as much a bitch as Mrs. Cristos, it's no wonder the old gal's so fond of her! She, of course, causes trouble for Tina and Paul, and once again, you get a h who acts TSTL, when it comes to the OW, despite showing backbone when talking to her. Why take anything the obviously jealous, vindictive woman says seriously???
As if that's not enough, there's the OM, a tourist named Bill, who later gets a job in the area and is clearly smitten with Tina. They met by chance while sightseeing, and since at that point Tina was feeling like her marriage might not last (and that Paul really wanted to get back with Dora), he welcomed a bit of attention, as well as talking to a man who seemed to like her as a person, not just a body. Believing Paul only desired her, she responded to Bill's liking her.
However, that doesn't make it right that she made dates with him, to go out to lunch and more sightseeing. Despite Bill being a gentleman (he never tried anything, not so much as put an arm around her or held her hand), a married woman shouldn't be making dates, no matter how innocent, with another man. Needless to say, it wasn't very pretty when Paul found out! (She made it worse, by defiantly stating she intended to keep on seeing him! Really??? A wife telling her husband she intends to date another man???? COME ON!!!)
And it wasn't fair to Bill to use him like that, then drop him (more than once) when she and Paul patch things up. Though he knew she was married, he was sincere in offering her friendship and when he was no longer needed she just forgot him. Really selfish and insensitive of Tina!
And Paul overdoes it with the "man is the boss", "women weren't meant to be equal", "women aren't happy unless they're being dominated", ad nauseum! And talk about a joke, when back in the beginning, when he was trying to get her into bed without a wedding first, he told her she wasn't being very modern, holding onto her virginity and wanting to save herself for marriage, that whoever she marries later on shouldn't mind if she had an affair before she met him. I guess when it suits him, he's all for equality, otherwise, forget it!
So, without the history/language/culture lessons, I might have given it two stars, possibly three.

This is my second AH book and I have mixed feelings for it. While I have read many books with a greek setting this one definitely had a dark and mysterious ambience in it. The episode where the H/h go to the island of Patmos could almost have been gothic in my opinion. Also, the H and his mother gave me shudders as they were continuously associated with 'ancient pagan' customs, worship of Dionysus-in a negative sense, and 'irrationality.' There was something creepy about the mother in law and the H as if they were not 'normal'. Its obvious that the H is too set in his ways and the only way the heroine can make this marriage work is to become totally obedient to the H. Plus, the H is infact a wife beater and thinks there is nothing wrong with it.. too many cultural rifts between the leads in my opinion. However i enjoyed the travelogue which is usual in the older harlequins.

Normally I love Harlequin! But I did not care for the male character of Paul! He was very domineering, abusive and just plain mean! How can you love someone and say to them "I will kill you!". She was no better!
