Customer Reviews

Funny, entertaining and cute

I enjoy reading Lynne Graham's novels because they are always so funny and entertaining and sweet and this one is no exception. I've been 2 hour exercises on the treadmill and reading "The Secret Wife" totally made the time pass very quickly. I don't need to go into the synopsis or character personalities since the previous reviewers have already gone into it. All I can say is this book was a fast read, entertaining and you definitely will not be bored.

fabulous

One of the best romances ever. Funny, lighthearted, intelligent, memorable. Definitely one of Graham's best, i rank it on par with Bond of Hatred and the Spanish Groom. Rosie's a total tomboy predisposed to running away, Constantine is the hot-blooded, protective Greek billionaire. They marry because that was the dying wish of her dad (who's also Constantine's adoptive father). They're hilarious, here's a bit (Rosie takes off from Constantine's mansion in Athens): "An hour later, weighed down only by her backpack, Rosie was lowering herself off the balcony outside her room. She made a slight detour onto a drainpipe to reach the sturdy climber covering the wall and then descended as sure-footed as a cat down onto the paved terrace below. Somewhere too close for comfort, a dog barked. Rosie took off at speed across the landscaped gardens, dodging and weaving like a professional. There was more than one dog barking now and her adrenalin hit an all-time high. As she got near the perimeter wall, some sort of siren screamed and suddenly a man appeared out of the darkness. Rosie made a rush at the wall. The man got in the way. On the brink of her kicking him, he coughed and she recognised him. '*Taki*...?' [Taki is one of Constatine's bodyguards; Rosie nursed him when he had a cold] He froze in astonishment. 'Taki, *please*,' she pleaded as the dogs got closer. He gave her a leg-up over the ten-foot wall. By then another alarm was screeching in tune with the siren. Rosie dropped down onto the road and then scudded across it into the cover of some bushes. A police car with a flashing light wheeled to a screeching halt as the electronic gates sprang open. Rosie set off up the road. Eat your heart out, Rambo, she thought smugly. But Constantine really ought to employ Taki elsewhere. Taki was too impressionable for Constantine's safety." :-) Some of the best dialogue and action Graham has ever written.

Another hot Lynne Graham novel!!

If you like Lynne Graham's novels, then you will love this one! Rich, Greek businessman becomes unwillingly involved with a woman he thinks is a tramp, but who he can't help being desparately attracted to - wait until he finds out that not only is she not a tramp, she's a virgin! Great read - lots of passionate interactions between the two main characters before the conflict is finally resolved.

Mama Mia!

Lynne Graham does it again! The Secret Wife has conflict, passion, romance, everything Lynne Graham is known for in the romance world. Rosie, the heroine, goes up against an arrogant Greek tycoon in an attempt to make him believe a long-buried secret and, in the process, also get out of her life. Her love interest gets swept off his feet trying to foil her constant attempts to run away from him. There could only be one ending in this tug-of-war: a passion neither ever thought imaginable.
