If you enjoy a romantic story set in a beauty of a
backdrop, SANTORINI SUNSETS by Anita Hughes is for you. New
York society
beauty Brigit Palmer, and Hollywood mega star, Blake
Crawford, are tying the knot in the wedding of the year.
Santorini, the mouth watering exotic Greek Island welcomes
the bridal party, her family and 50 of the Who's Who of the
upper crust of society and some famous Hollywood stars.
Invited guests are arriving to enjoy the sights and sounds
planned for their enjoyment culminating with the lavish
wedding ceremony at the Church of Panagia Episkopi in the
most picturesque setting high above the Aegean sea. So much
for a
quiet, intimate wedding she wanted but Blake wants this
opulence.
High praise to Anita Hughes. She knows how to tell a story
while taking you on an enchanting escape. With her
delectable descriptions, of Greek food, an idyllic locale,
where you can almost hear the sea, you will fall in love
with the characters. My favorite character is Nathaniel,
Brigit's ex-husband,
who at five years old crawled through the fence next door
and became BFF with Brigit Palmer. I adored how he would
reminisce about their childhood, growing up together,
later in college and getting married. He always loved
Brigit even after they divorced. I found him sweet, funny.
always thoughtful and I cheered when he finished his first
great novel. Now he has one priority. Make sure Brigid is
truly happy.
Brigit Palmer is uber wealthy. An attorney, she is
leaving law to join her father's philanthropist
foundation. She wants to travel the world to help needy
children. She meets handsome Hollywood star, Blake
Crawford, at a fund raiser for Save the Children in
Manhattan. Their attraction sizzles, and after a fast
courtship, they decide to marry. When Brigit discovers
Blake secretly donated $3 million to Palmer Foundation, she
confronts her father and then Blake. Not pleased with their
answers she tries to focus on her upcoming wedding. Is she
over Nathaniel? Is she getting married again too soon?
Does Blake have some alternative to becoming part of her
wealthy family?
A sweet tale of family, first loves, and
dreams is captured by this truly gifted writer, Anita
Hughes. She steals my heart again with SANTORINI SUNSETS.
5 Stars.
Brigit Palmer is thrilled to be on the Greek Island of
Santorini. She's here for her wedding to Hollywood
heart-throb Blake Crawford, one of America's most eligible
bachelors. Brigit's parents have rented a villa, and soon
guests will arrive from all over the world for the intimate
ceremony.
Brigit is a New York socialite, and she's just given up her
position at a Manhattan law firm to run her father's
philanthropic foundation. Things are finally falling into
place. Love, career, family. Everything is going so
well...until she steps into the garden and sees her
ex-husband Nathaniel hiding in the rose bushes.
Nathaniel, a failed novelist, announces that Blake sold the
rights to the wedding to HELLO! Magazine for two million
dollars (donated to charity), and he is the reporter
assigned to write the story. Everyone expects Brigit to have
her happily ever after, her mother who taught her how to
lead the perfect lifestyle, her younger sister Daisy who
impatiently wishes for her own love story, and of course her
fiancée. Things are supposed to work out for them. But when
Brigit discovers an unsettling secret about Blake, she
questions everything she's ever believed about love, and
wonders if she's not better off alone.
Told in Anita Hughes' spectacularly descriptive proses,
SANTORINI SUNSETS is a story about family bonds, first
loves, and the
question of when to let go and when to hang on as tight as
you can.
