Jen's Review: "The Greek Billionaire's Baby Revenge" by Jennie Lucas

I generally shy away from titles like this one. They seem too hokey for me. But last fall I went to the Emerald City Romance Writers conference book fair in Seattle. While waiting in line to buy my books, I found myself standing behind Jennie Lucas. We exchanged a few words, but it wasn't until a couple weeks later that I discovered that she was an author. So, when I saw her book in a WalMart store soon after, I decided to try it.

Nikos is a rich casino owner who ends up having an affair with his secretary, Anna. She discovers she's pregnant and when Nikos is unfaithful to her, she runs away. Nikos hunts her down and tries to take his son away from her. After realizing that isn't going to work, he decides that Anna is just going to have to be his wife and then he can teach her a lesson.

I'm finding it hard to really put my feelings about this book into words. I didn't particularly like the character of Nikos and found his relationship with Anna quite unsatisfying, and perhaps underdeveloped. Maybe if the book was a little longer and their relationship was explored a little more, it might have been a more enjoyable read. And outside of the romance, the plot was too weak for my tastes. My suggestion is that if you really want to read this book, go find it in a used bookstore or borrow it from someone.
