Review: From One Night To Wife by Rachael Thomas

From One Night To Wife by Rachael Thomas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

From One Night to Wife by Rachael Thomas is the part of One Night with Consequences series but can be read as a standalone. This series has been a bit of a hit and miss for me…but I wanted to follow up on this author after reading her debut novel, A Deal Before the Altar, which was so so for me…. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Wow, I was so pleasantly surprised by this book. I really liked it!!!
Now, before I say that it was partly due to the hero being a Greek gorgeous tycoon….definitely…I adore Greek heroes…see I had one of my own in my life!!!! They are just so alpha and interesting…you know what I am trying to say, right???

I could also add the fact that the story was set in Greece….loved the scene of the Acropolis in Athens

and the island of Santorini, one of the most beautiful and romantic Greek Islands…

…. and where I spent part of my honeymoon!!! Okay, I was in heaven!!!

The hero, Nikos…successful, rich, wounded and tormented by his past, never wants to feel love and have children.

The heroine, Serena…a travel writer is beautiful, strong, passionate, vulnerable, has been affected by her parents feelings towards her whilst growing up.

Nikos and Serena had met in Santorini three months previously when she has on vacation. They had a passionate fling, which ended rather abruptly when Nikos told her that it was just a god time to him , after she blurt out that she loved him. But the result from that affair will have some life changing consequences for both.

Now Serena is back in Santorini to give Nikos the news of the “consequences” of that time together!!! She had fallen in love with him and had never stopped…and having discovered that he had lied about being a fisherman but was in fact a billionaire, was something so hurtful and painful…and even more the fact that he had lied to her.

Nikos has been trying to forget Serena…he doesn’t need love and is distrustful of every woman he meets…especially English women!! And now he finds himself in a situation he had never wanted and with an English woman!!!!

To solve the problem of the unplanned baby and his heir, that Serena is carrying, he tells her she has to marry him and live in Greece!!! Just like that!!! Despite the fact that he thinks she’s after his money and nothing else!!! Hey, dude…can’t you open your eyes and see and feel her love for you? And wait….you are not exactly immune to her….in fact…you feel a hell of a lot for her!!! Forget the past….what happened to you and your father doesn’t mean it will happen to you!!!!

Really, I wish these two would have stopped all that angst and drama and get on with it!!!

I enjoyed the dialogue and the story….just nit-picking a bit here..but there were a few things in the story that were a tiny bit repetitive…but, hey…I am being a bit repetitive myself here!!!

I liked that Serena and Nikos were both strong and passionate in their own way!!! Serena wasn’t this whimpering and whining woman, needing a man to take care of her but rather wanted a partner to share their lives as equals.

This was a really romantic story…..two people, whose love will heal each other’s wounds and find happiness together.

I loved the epilogue!!! Unexpectedly fabulous!!! And how could someone’s HEA not make you happy!!
