“I’m waiting, Lex,” came the sound of his impatient voice in her ear.
“You know that I don’t want to do it,” she said. “And I’m asking you to reconsider.”
“Ochi. Can’t be done. You will do what I want you to do.”
“You’re a ruthless man, Xenon Kanellis.”
“Insult me all you like,” he said. “But my heart will not be swayed by your pleas.”
“You have no heart!”
“Then waste no more of my time with your futile protestations. Give me your answer, Lex—is it yes or no?”
There was a pause while she tried to fight it, but she realized she had no choice. “Yes,” she breathed reluctantly.
“Good.”
The Greek’s Marriage Bargain is a beautifully written romance with an awesome hero. Sharon Kendrick has created a gentler hero this time and he was so much different and wonderful from the usual typical alpha heroes. Lexi was very cynical towards the beginning but towards the end of the story,she managed to completely win me over. Xenon was the best part for me in the story because he was gentle,caring and completely in love with Lexi from the starting. The story had a predictable plot but I found it an enjoyable read because of the writing and the main characters. Though the ending did not bother me that much because I liked the realistic touch in the story,people looking for the fairy tale element may be disappointed in the end and it may spoil their whole reading experience.
Overall The Greek’s Marriage Bargain,is an enjoyable read with an awesome hero.Some readers may not like the missing fairytale element towards the end.
If you love Sharon Kendrick and like a little bit of angst with a realistic touch towards the end,then you will love this book.
