Customer Reviews

superb contemporary romance

As much as it galls her, Maggie Dillon knows she needs specialized help to win a programming contract for her firm Universal Security with the Greek government. The independent American understands she requires a person with connections to the government and as important he or she must speak the language. Thus, Maggie searches for Mr. Right and soon hires native Californian Nick Ballos, whose paternal heritage is Greek to help her with the negotiations. Nick has a personal secret agenda to return to Greece that he hides from his new employer. He sees assisting Maggie as his cover to conduct an inquiry into a homicide; as he is obsessed with justice for his late best friend Yanni whose murder in Greece remains unsolved. However, rather quickly Nick finds his obsession changing from justice for Yanni to love for Maggie. FINDING MR. RIGHT is a superb contemporary romance starring two delightful upbeat lead characters. The story line is fast-paced from the moment Maggie realizes she needs help besides her two sisters and seeks Mr. Right for her firm not for her heart. The suspense subplot involving Yanni's murder adds the right amount of spice to a super romance. Harriet Klausner

The Ultimate Greek Holiday

Savor the sensation of freshly baked baklava dribbling off your chin as Helen Brenna whisks you away to Greece in her fast-paced October Super Romance release. Control freak Maggie Dillon searches for Mr. Right to negotiate a computer security contract with the Greek national defense department. Landing this job will secure the future for her sisters that their deceased mother envisioned. Unfortunately, the sisters' search for happiness leads them down different life paths. Five years ago, Nicholas Ballos vowed to kill the man who murdered his best friend, or die trying. He needs a legitimate excuse to re-enter his homeland and jumpstart the stagnant police investigation. Using Maggie's company as a cover, Nicholas unwittingly places her directly in the villain's line of sight. Unable to accept the truth of his own failings, the delusional villain makes Nicholas pay dearly for a betrayal that never actually took place. As everyone close to them is threatened, Maggie and Nicholas can't afford to trust anyone, including each other. Deep-rooted concepts of loyalty and honor are tested as the couple fight for their lives, as well as the truth. RITA winner, Helen Brenna, delightfully tortures her characters and cleverly ratchets up the tension in this plot twister. Readers will enjoy wrestling with the hero and heroine as they discover how best to honor the dead, and the living.
