Beautiful love story.

Isn't this every girls fantasy?  You go on vacation and meet a gorgeous man by chance (you think), and then find out he chose you to make an off the wall proposition to.  No names, no commitments, no strings, and amazing sex. He promises to make your every fantasy come true if you take him up on it.  At the end of three months you go your seperate ways as if nothing happened.  It had me hooked.  I had to read it to see how this all worked out. I have to admit that a few times I wanted to slap both characters but that just tells you how much I was sucked into their story.  I loved it.

A very good love story. I thought it would end the way it did so it did not disapoint me.

This was a truly wonderful love story about two people from different races who learn to see and love, beneath the surface.  They learn beauty is really more than just skin deep.
It was gripping and both our hero and heroine made you care about them.  The author did a good job in her descriptive skills so we could envision what they looked like, something many authors no longer do.  It made the story so much better for me.

This was a really beautiful love story. What I liked about it was that it was unique and refreshing. It wasn't the typical boy meets girl, falls in love instantly, acts like an ass, loses girl, professes love in grand gesture and ends up happily ever after.
I fell in love with the characters and couldn't wait to find out what would happen next. Blake was obviously my favorite. He had a gentle soul and counting Livia's smiles, made me smile. I like how the characters stories were interwoven into a seamless story that held my attention throughout.
I can't wait to read the next in the series.

I loved this book. I just didn't know that I would need to read it with a box of kleenex by my bed. It was a very beautiful love story.

OMG this was such a magnificent, emotional,  wonderful love story. It gave me laughter, happiness, sadness and tears. It's a magnificent historical romance with that periods strict moral codes. Without writing spoilers I can't say much, but I can tell you the love in this story takes years in reaching its beautiful climax. It goes through marriage's both filled with love, as well as arranged and no love. This book is now my favorite love story and I believe it will be for a long time, if not forever.

I started reading Lipsi's daughter early this morning and found myself not able to put this book down until I turned the last page.  What a beautiful love story.  It was one of those books that leaves such a wonderful feeling inside afterward, that it was a bit sad to let it go, but well worth the read.  I was touched by Ipatia's endearing sweetness and Tony's charismatic charm and the way they both fell for each other, even when they sometimes didn't even realize it themselves.  There were turns in the story I wasn't expecting, which made the story very interesting, and sometimes maddening in a good way, but never without hope.  My heart ached for both Ipatia and Tony when they were finding their way back to each other and when they did, it was very sweet.  Patty Apostolides painted a picture of the Greek scenery so vividly it made me feel as if I were right there on the hillsides looking over the picturesque cities and ports.  She is an amazing writer, able to tell a story that feels very real.  It is very rare to find such a gem.

This book was such a great love story about the ups and downs of love. You really connect with the characters and I found this to be one of those stories you think about long after you've finished the book.

So loved this story. It has a lot of trust, hate, love  emotions and passion issues. In the end they believed in each others hearts.
