Publisher: Mills & Boon (June 2011), Harlequin (July 2011). ISBN-10: 0263886689, ISBN-13: 978-0263886689

Sander Volakis goes his own way. He's forged his reputation in business, rather than relying on the family fortune, and indulges his darkly passionate, wild streak - he has no intention of marrying... he doesn't do country weekends, either. Pitching up at Wetsgrave Manor is a favour to his father and a bore...until he sees Tally Spencer, so pretty and voluptuous that he can't resist her. Sander's looking forward to casually seducing her...little knowing that one night with the innocent Tally could end his playboy existence...

(From Linked-Story Duet - The Volakis Vow).

Lynne Graham is one of my favorite HP authors. She has a great knack for blending humor, passion and drama perfectly in a quick read. Sander is your typical high-strung arrogant ass of a HP hero. Oh, and of course he's a Greek Tycoon. :) I really liked Tally, she didn't let Sander walk all over her, sure she got sucked into the whole affair, but she was intelligent enough to see when things were off, and confronted Sander about it. This book had the added "surprise, I'm pregnant" theme going for it, which added to the drama, especially when Sander is blackmailed into marring Tally. There was a huge trust theme going on throughout the whole book. Whereas Tally is very trusting, Sander, of course, is not.

This is the first category romance that I've ever read were the couple is featured in this book AND a book next month, so this is just the Happy For Now book, but if I didn't know that I would have been perfectly happy with the way this book ended. But I do know, and now we have to WAIT for their Happy Ever After. I hate waiting. I was kinda bummed when I realized that this was a HFN ending, until I really thought about it and realized that YAY I get to read MORE about Sander & Tally! Don't forget to look for BRIDE FOR REAL next month, for the conclusion of their story.

Harlequin Presents are my crack. How else can I explain it, they are my quick easy fix when I want to loose myself, but don't have time to get wrapped up into a thicker book. I refer to them as my "popcorn" reads, as I can finish one of these in about the same time as I could watch a movie. These are something that I tend to glom onto, and usually read about 4 or 5 in row, until I get my fill.

This is the first of a two part story by LG. A concept she introduced last year with 'The Pregnancy Shock' and 'A Stormy Greek Marriage.' This is book is very well written with no cliff hanger and can be read as a standalone.

This was quite an interesting read, one I read in one sitting. The two characters share a lot in common. The inner loneliness borne of family rejection, the independent streak and the loner status. However while Sander was arrogant, cynical, dark and rich; Tally was optimistic, forgiving, open, naive and honest. Tally was no shrinking violet and stood up for herself with dignity and poise whenever it that mattered. Although their marriage was initially rocky, they worked their way to a harmonious loving relationship through open dialogue and honest communication. The book ended on a beautiful note.
