Review: The Marakaios Marriage (The Marakaios Brides #1) by Kate Hewitt

The Marakaios Marriage (The Marakaios Brides #1)The Marakaios Marriage by Kate Hewitt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kate Hewitt tackles yet another issue that affects so many people today and does it so well.

Antonios Marakaios married Lindsay Douglas within weeks of meeting her and falling deeply in love with each other.

Taking her to his home in Greece, she soon began feeling lost and pressured, without any support from his family and their being apart from each other due to his business pressures.

She decides that the only way she can survive is to leave her husband and go back home.

Antonios is still devastated and in love with his wife and he’s determined to bring her back home as his mother is very ill.
She agrees to return with the guarantee that he will agree to a divorce!!!
But as soon as she arrives at his family home, her fears rise up again..

Antonios begins to notice that there is something wrong with Lindsay and all she tells him when he asks her to tell him…

But does she tell him??? No, she whines instead….

I felt for Antonios…here’s this man, still so in love with his wife, wanting to do anything, anything at all to make her happy…even when he tries to make things better, she continues to tell him….

After much of a wasted time, she finally tells him her secret. And that she’s still in love with him and is prepared to give their marriage a second chance. Now, for a genius academic she showed very little sense in her personal life!! Why did she not tell him before? Why go through all this angst and emotional rollercoaster all that time????

And just when I thought things were going along very nicely with these two, Antonios begins with his nonsense!!!! He’s now the one keeping secrets from his newly found wife!!!! Shit, that would have driven me up the wall….so is it any wonder that Lindsay gives him an ultimatum!!!

A well-written story of finding each other again and overcoming all the sadness and obstacles they faced to finding their HEA.

I did find the ending a bit abrupt but it looks as if there’s a follow-up to this story, which I am so looking forward to.
