great book

the first of her Virgin Brides Arrogant Husbands trilogy 1.The Greek Tycoons Disobedient Bride 2.The Ruthless Magnate's Virgin Mistress 3.The Spamish Billionaire's Pregnant Wife Like all the books in this trilogy, I really enjoyed this book The only thing is the distcription of the book is misleading, it makes it sound like Lysander tricked Ophelia, but she knew why he was marrying her and that it was just for the house and she was marrying him because she thought that her grandmother lift her a letter telling her what happened to her sister, which would be given to her after the wedding When she finds out that her grandmother tricked them both she wants out, but he won't let her so she sets out to make it rough for him(not in a bad way, kind of cute like) My favorite part is where she takes his car and recks it then how she tells him what happened (very funny) and instead of staying mad at her he laughs

Book #1 of the Virgin Brides and Arrogant Husbands Miniseries

There is not much more I can say about this book than the first reviewer has already said, it wasn't a bad book it didn't stand out to me, but that's not saying anything negative. It was chalked full of details and an in depth storyline. Lynne Graham really worked on the plot and she setup the book so that you are intrigued to find out the stories of Ophelia's younger sister Abbey and (possible) brother. This is a trilogy that seems as though it will flow seamlessly. The quality of writing reminds me of Lynne Graham's early writing like her classic "Bond of Hatred". I look forward to reading books 2 and 3 in the next coming months. I'm excited to read about a Russian alpha-male hero for the second book, that's a departure from the usual diet of Italian, Spanish, British or French wealthy man candy. I hope she does justice to the male lead. I'll be looking to see since I once dated a very sexy Russian once upon a time. Happy Reading !

The Greek Tycoon's Disocedient Bride by Lynne Graham-not bad

From the back of the book: It amazed Ophelia that Lysander Metaxis- a Greek billionaire notorious for his harem of adoring women -wanted to marry her, a humble gardener with a grumbling old manor house and debts up to her ears. But soon she realized Lysander didn't want her- he wanted her property and her body. But marry him she would, because she had no choice if she wanted to keep what she cherished most. And disobedient she would be, because her new husband had no intention of loving her... My take: The heroine Ophelia inherits a rundown manor upon her grandmother's death. The house is in dire need of repairs and poor Ophelia has no money. The hero, Lysander wants to buy the manor because the house belonged to his "mother's" family. Ophelia's grandmother Gladys, hated the Metaxis family with a passion. Lysander's father broke up with Ophelia's mother and married the Lysander's mother instead. This fueled Gladys's bitter hatred of the Metaxis family. In order to hit the Metaxis clan with one last blow from the grave, Gladys leaves the manor to Lysander and Ophelia if they are married for one year. If they do not, the manor goes to a distant cousin who can not sell it for five years. At the reading of the will, Lysander sees Ophelia for the first time. He gets that "manly urge" because of Ophelia lovely face and hourglass figure. When Ophelia tells Lysander she will never marry him, he informs her that she needs his money to repair the manor. Ophelia eventually gives in with the hope that a second document her grandmother left behind will give her the whereabouts of her younger sister. At the wedding reception, Ophelia was given the second document telling her that her younger sister had been adopted. There was also a second will which was written later than the first, it fully gave the manor to Ophelia. Lysander was beyond angry and thought Ophelia knew of her grandmother's second will. Ophelia threatens to divorce Lysander since the manor is now hers but Lysander counters that he bankrupt her if she tries. Of course, the two move in together, have a few misunderstandings but in the end get on well declare their love blah blah blah. The story between Ophelia's mother and the Metaxis is quite detailed and full of twists and turns. I must say that this book had one of the most exciting *scenes * wink wink of Lynne Graham's books. Only The Frenchman's Love-Child Brides of L'Amour (Harlequin Presents)hild had more hot *scenes*. Overall, the book was somewhat dry, maybe it is because the hero was super PC. I will give this book 4 out of 5 stars because it was a decent read and Graham did a good job with the background between the two families
