My Review:

Yuhuuu, here is Annie West’s latest book. I have read several books of hers and so far she hasn’t disappointed me with her stories therefore when I got this ARC whilst having school holiday, I had been assuming this would be a perfect book to read, relax and escape to Greece. Indeed, it was.

A billionaire playboy with big body and green eyes, Strato Doukas is enjoying his hedonistic life on his yacht, however he seems to feel empty and uninterested then when he lands whilst sunbathing, he sees a boat taking a woman with curvaceous body and long black hair that he assumes doesn’t exist anymore. Cora Georgiou, a marine biologist thinks that Strato is stranded and being tricked by some irresponsible friends, so she approaches him in order to look over him and she is surprised to see him naked. (I couldn’t stop imagining it haha)

Kind hearted and very decent Cora can’t abandon him therefore she takes care of him by giving her food and drink, she has no slightest notion who he is so she offers her shorts for him. What I loved the most is both presume each other as Greek mythology, Strato thinks that she is Nereid whereas Cora thinks that he is Poseidon. Strato is so strongly and sexually attracted to Cora and he will do anything to have passionate affair with her thus he comes to her with unexpected proposal.

I was so taken by their mutual desire, steamy attraction and passionate affair yet every time Cora compares Strato with a man she associated with in the past made me eagerly guess what actually had happened and every time Strato feels so possessive of her, he is afraid of something dark in the past might appear until they discover that Cora is pregnant and it kept me turning the pages.

Well West’s book is a perfect book for an escapist like me where I was indulged into stunning Greek island and steamy romantic affair between a playboy hedonistic Strato, who apparently is so thoughtful and generous and an independent decent Cora that at the end succeeds in making Strato obsessively jealous. Despite lack of interpretation how Cora works in the sea as marine biologist, I still loved her character. Thank you, Annie West, for this ARC which I voluntarily reviewed.
