When Eglantine “Harry” Knight sets off to Greece at the last minute to step in as manager of a friend’s touring band, the last thing she expects is to meet a billionaire Greek playboy. Iakovos Papaioannou is perfection on every level, except for his unpronounceable name. And Harry can’t stop herself from falling hard and fast for him. Iakovos knew his sister hired her favorite band to perform at her birthday party, he’s just not sure where this six-foot-tall, wild-haired, tempestuous woman fits in, or how she’s already ended up in his bed—and in his heart. Harry is so not his type. She’s as infuriating as she is intriguing, and she can’t keep her hands off his butt. But she just may be the woman who knocks him off the world’s most eligible bachelor list for good… |
Eglantine "Harry" Knight is asked by a friend to go and manage a band in Greece.
Iakovos Papaioannou is a real-estate billionaire and he owns the island that the band are performing on, and it's his sisters birthday that they are playing at.
Harry is amusing, she has an awesome habit of answering her internal monologue's out loud; she can't pronounce Papaioannou (who could?) but she really care either, which leads to being escorted out of his building because she claims that she's Iakovos' girlfriend but can't pronounce his name, she also had to ring him and get him to spell it for her driver's license.
The story is good, it has a billionaire greek playboy, pregnancy, a vicious ex-girlfriend and yet at no point does it ever seem like a harlequin book. The couple actually end up together within the first third of the novel, and most of the novel is spent showing Harry and Iakovos after they fall in love, and their lives. There's no stupid angst for angst's sake.
It was super cute the way Iakovos spaced out his proposal and his first time saying I Love You. He ignores all of Harry's hints about the romantic moments.
Iakovos proposes as Harry is vomiting, she got sick after nursing him through the flu and its incredibly sweet, because even though she looks awful he still wants to marry her.
He says "I Love You" when she's having the twins, but he says it before she has them so it's not some lame I Love You because you had my babies thing
I did find Iakovos' name slightly annoying, it's a Greek version of Jacob, and I mentally pronounced it Yacko-vus. And Harry was calling him Yacky occasionally which is not the sexiest name or nickname.
These gems are from Harry to Iakovos:
“And you’re the handsomest man I’ve ever seen in my life, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to lick you!” she yelled.
“You bet your incredibly attractive and probably hard enough to bounce a quarter off ass I am!” she snapped back.
