Customer Reviews

One of my fave LG!

I really enjoyed this book. Basically Maxie, the heroine, is in debt (which is actually her father's debt) and she signed some loan contract which required her to be this old guy's pretend girlfriend. She's nineteen when she becomes his arm candy. Anyway, three years later, he dumps her when he's ill and wants his wife back (it's not what you think) so Maxie is stuck on her own and having to pay off the loan somehow. Enter Angelos, the hero. He does business with the old dude. He wanted her and knew that she wanted him but didnt understand why she never dumped the old guy for him. He finds out eventually of course. He also knows about the loan and offers to pay it back if she, of course, becomes his lover. Her condition is marriage, which he reluctantly agrees but only untill their bored. Or rather he's bored. But Maxie had a godmother who granted all three of her goddaughters (this book is part of a trilogy called husband hunters by the way) a millon dollars on the condition that they marry and for the marriage to last more than six months. Maxie plans to dump Angelos six months later and tell him to shove his money where the sun don't shine. Of course, she falls in love with him. He falls in love with her too and you can see that by his actions. Maxie wrote a list of all Angelos's faults, he found it and tried to act the opposite of those negative traits. All together now - "awww..." My favourite parts of the book was when he found out that she was dyslexic and when he hired an airplane to paint out "I love you" in the sky.

Lynne Graham at Her Best

Married to the Mistress will win the test of time as one of Lynne Graham's best. I'v been reading this novel for two years now. It suffices to say that I have read it more than once! Lynne's novels are becoming very predictable though. Angelos and Maxie are stunningly beautiful. Ofcourse Angelos has loads of money while Maxie is just getting by. Actually, Maxie is in debt. The story begins at a time when Maxie is desperate and Angelos, who has all the wrong ideas about Maxie, steps in with an offer to help her out. There are three parts to the story: One when Angelos is chasing Maxie, two when they are married but unreconciled, three when Angelos is trying to win her over. So, as readers, we have a lot to go through. However, it is an emotionally charged, witty and sexy story that makes every page come alive.

Big time Lynne Grahem's Fan

This is the first book in the HUSBAND HUNTERS where a godmother states in her will that her 3 Goddaughters will get 1 million if they marry and remain married for 6 months. Maxie is described as a beautiful woman and she hates the fact that she is judged by it. (hey I wouldn't complain)Even the hero is gulilty of wanting her because of her looks. I especially like her charachter because she stands up for herself and lets the world think whatever they want. Anderos thinks that she was the mistress of an old man and asks her to be his mistress. In anger Maxie asks for marriage in return for her body.... the battle begins and let me tell you its captivating to the very end.

Best of the Husband Hunters stories!

Maxie must marry if she wants to inherit the 1 million dollars left to her by her aunt. Angelos Petronides has waited 3 years to have Maxie as his mistress. But Angelos soon finds out that marriage is the only way that Maxie will ever be his. Of all three of the husband hunters books this was the best one, even though as usual I felt like slapping the hero several times for his outdated thinking.
