The Greek's Innocent Virgin

From Back Cover: Greek tycoon Sebastian Kouros thinks he knows all about Rachel Long: as far as he's concerned, she's a scheming money-grabber who deserves nothing from him or his family. But the Searing sexual chemistry between them can't be denied. Sebastian sees an opportunity to seduce this girl who plays it so sweet and innocent. He'll discard her when he sees fit... Comments: This book was a pleasure to read. Sebastian has known Rachel for several years due to her mother's marriage to his beloved uncle. Sebastian dislikes Rachel's late mother because he saw her as a gold digger and opportunist, who destroyed his uncle's life and caused his death. Sebastian knows in his heart that Rachel is nothing like her mother but allows his grieve to cloud his judgment. Sebastian and Rachel spend one night together, but all is destroyed by Sebastian's hurtful accusations. Rachel finds out that she is pregnant, the doctor also discovers a few medical problems, so to protect her child's future she contacts Sebastian. Sebastian regrets the way he treated Rachel and works hard to make it up to her, but not without some resistance from her. The book flowed well it didn't have the annoying, interfering ex-girlfriend\want-a-be girlfriend and allowed the hero and heroine to work out their problems, with some help from his mother. I know that this is outside of the HP format, but more pages on this story would have been nice.

I recently discovered Harlequin Presents books, and I have to say they're pretty good - short, juicy stories with a foreign flair. Lucy Monroe's books are no exception. In "The Greek's Innocent Virgin," we have the story of Sebastian Kouros and Rachel Long aka Rachel Newman. Rachel is a sweet young woman who has had a longtime crush on Sebastian. Their relationship, however, seems doomed from the start. Sebastian can't seem to separate Rachel from her catty and promiscuous mother. As such, Sebastian is conflicted toward Rachel. A part of him knows that Rachel is nothing like her mother, but her mother has done so much damage to the Kourus family that he can't help but believe the worst of Rachel. Of course, like in all romances, the star-crossed lovers end up together, and all is well. "The Greek's Innocent Virgin," is an enjoyable read that I devoured in just a few hours.

Sebastian Kouros thinks he knows all about Rachel long. After all she is just like her mother a convining scheming gold digger. But she isn't and the chemistry between them is anything but milD, seducing her was no diffcult feat which makes sebastian sick with himself because he see himself going down the same road as his beloved uncle. Only rachel isn't a gold digger she was a virgin and sebastian won't be able to live with himself if she doesn't take him back because as sure as he is greek he will never let her go again.

This is yet another beautiful book by Monroe. Her style of writing is so heart touching that it's almost as if you're living in a true romance. The hero is very proud and sexy and yet when he realizes his mistake, he does everything to make it up to her and the heroine is very sweet and innocent but when he hurts her, she gives him a hard time before eventually giving in. Very good read!
