The Greek Wedding She Never Had by Chantelle Shaw: I felt like I’d found my new favourite author 
when I finished The Greek Wedding She Never Had.
Flashbacks help us learn that Eleanor is devastated when she overhears a phone call from the love of her life unveiling he’s only marrying her to gain access to her family hotel. Walking out of the engagement and his life Eleanor thinks she and her broken heart are done. A year later Jace finds himself convincing Eleanor that if she marries him, he’ll wipe her brothers gambling debts and fix all his terrible troubles.
Compassion shines through Jace quite early and his reasons for needing Eleanor are emotional drivers which were well explained. Jace’s Mother added a good layer to his backstory. It’s always intriguing to see how an author will redeem a blackmailing hero and I feel Chanelle Shaw nailed it. I loved the makeover and the resolution of the family vendetta which drove Jace to want the hotel.
I love over the top angst, drama and emotion but a well written good hearted hero is just as enjoyable and I feel the good side of Jace shone through early. I loved how Eleanor was written and I really felt her roller coaster life; she absolutely deserves a win. The love and caring for both parties is evident. I really enjoyed Jace and Eleanor’s story. The intrigue between Jace’s best friend and Eleanor’s sister makes me “can’t wait” for Book #2.
