Andreas Kostas has a plan for his life. He is the
illegitimate son of a wealthy Greek, raised alone without
help from his sire, by a loving and generous mother. To
counter his anger at his father he has a timeline for his
future, make more money at a younger age than he, and marry
the perfect woman. One his father would probably not approve
of. So who will become KOSTA'S CONVENIENT BRIDE?
Kayla Jones owns a small percentage of KJ Software with
Andreas. To her it has always been more, in fact, he has
always been more than just a partner. Six years ago they had
been lovers, but when they became business partners Andreas
shut that part of their life down. All these years she has
waited for him to recognize her feelings and his for her but
one meeting throws that all out of the window. Now Kayla
must find her balance again and protect herself.
KOSTA'S CONVENIENT BRIDE had me on an emotional roller
coaster. At first, I thought Andreas was just a jerk, a
coldhearted business man, a billionaire who didn't care
about anyone -- but as I read on, I realized he was really
socially clueless to what Kayla meant to him. His anger at
his father seemed to blind him. But it was his fear of
losing the only person he considered "family" that almost
had just that happening. Kayla tired of waiting and knowing
she had to protect herself leaves to take control of the
future that she didn't know she was going to have to go it
alone. It did take awhile for him to acknowledge his
feelings, but the guy finally got it.
Author Lucy Monroe weaves a well written, intriguing story
of a couple of lost souls who finally find each other. She
gives her readers the right amount of background, so we get
to know these people and really begin to feel for them, and
even feel sympathetic when we first felt a bit of dislike. I
read romance to escape, and this was a perfect, steamy, warm
flight of fantasy that I expect every time I read Ms.
Monroe's books. KOSTA'S CONVENIENT BRIDE is in my to read
again shelf and I eagerly await more by this author.
