Summary: Same Old Thing From Lynne Graham.
Review: Having read such excellent reviews of Lynne Graham's books from Amazon and other readers, I expected a masterpiece instead I got something which bored me to death. The characters are annoying, the situation ridiculous and unrealistic and the supporting characters typical (a glamourous mistress, a beautiful jealous cousin etc.) I suggest authors such as Kate Walker,Anne Mather, Carole Mortimer and Sandra Field for they never disappoint.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another Lynne Graham keeper!
Review: I have read all Lynne Graham books and they are all similar in that they all feature: drop-dead gorgeous, sexy billionaire hero; virginal heroine (may be very beautiful or quite ordinary), beautiful romantic setting. What makes Lynne Graham's books stand out is her hero. He is every woman's fantasy -- stunningly handsome, sexy, and a billionaire too! He fights his love for the heroine at first and can verbally be quite cruel. But in the end, because of his great love for her, heroine can bring him to his knees. Here in The Cozakis Bride, hero is Greek billionaire Nik Cozakis. He is so stunning looking that heroine felt like the "Beast" and he's the "Beauty" in a role reversal in Beauty and the Beast. Heroine is ordinary looking but he finds her beautiful. He could not keep his hands off her. They were engaged when he was 19 and she 17 but were separated by vicious lies. They met again 10 years later. This book has all the trademark Lynne Graham features: hot chemistry, great passion, memorable scenes and dialogue, excellent story line, romantic setting, and wonderful hero and heroine. If you have not read a Lynne Graham book, you are missing out on some great reading experience!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good book
Review: I have read all of Lynne Graham's books and I must say they are starting to sound alike, but still this was a fun book to read. It made me laugh and fall in love with the characters.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good read!
Review: I have read all of Lynne Graham's books. This one is very good but seems alot like the other ones I've read by her. The Unfaithful Wife is still the best one she's wrote!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: What Is Title Again?
Review: I have read many of Lynne Graham's books and I find that all of them are virtually identical.

The hero is always a macho Greek who is overly obnoxious to the heroine and always misjudges her. He has a major sex drive and has slept with half of the female population in the world. He always has the upper hand in dictating the relationship. He is always a rich and powerful business tycoon.

The heroine is always a young virgin in her twenties who actually comes off kind of dumb and childish in many ways.

The couple falls in love, a big misunderstanding follows (again, the hero is always the one who makes the bad call) and the couple is somehow reunited after years and years down the line. Of course at this point the hero still thinks the heroine is dirt because of the misunderstanding. Naturally the heroine falls in love with him despite his abusive manner. The misunderstanding or the villian is not exposed till the very end of the book which is usually the last ten or twelve pages. And naturally the heroine forgives the hero much too quick. I always think that the hero should suffer and shouldn't be forgiven within the span of 4 paragraphs. So if this plot sounds somewhat familiar to you then you have already read this book probably a dozen or so times. As cyncial as I am of Graham's books - I have to admit that I still do read the last chapter of her books and skip the drivel proceeding them while standing at the bookstore.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Romance at its best
Review: I loved this book as I have loved most of Lynne Graham's other stories. Her hero is wonderfully masculine and is perfect to star in this traditional romantic novel.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Cozakis Bride
Review: I really enjoyed reading the book. As long as the story could reach you somehow, why cared the storyline was predictable or not. Just have some fun with this great book!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good, but a little too predictable
Review: Like most of Lynne's books, this one too is good. Featuring a greek man (as usual) this tale captures the power of sensuality, but then again, it's a bit too predictable. You can almost tell what's going to happen next. Recommended for those who haven't read many of Lynne Graham's books or someone who's a hardcore Lynne fan.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: London girl makes good.
Review: The book is one of lynne's best and it grips your heart afteer the first few pages till the end. It tells of how an ordinary, headstrong girl who didn't think too much of herself falls in love with her man who is everything she is not. In this book, lynne also throws in some more complications to the story to make it a very exicting read, maybe her best this year. Anyone whould enjoy reading it and find it totally difficult to put down till the end.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: beauty and the beast
Review: This is a classic and as I am a hard core fan of Lynne Grahem I especially found it good. The couple were once engaged when she was 17 and he 19 but because of his cousins manipulation he thinks she cheated on him. 10 years later they meet when the heorine approaches him and proposes marriage because She has made a bargain with her grandfarther that if she marries the hero then her grandfather will help her sick mother. The Hero agrees only so he can finally gain his revenge, even when he finds out she is a virgin he still thinks she was unfaithful. One of the reasons I find Lynne Grahem's books so good is becauase her heros and heorines share a love/hate relationship. Love can turn to hate so fast when one is betrayed however as Lynne Grahem shows us love wins the day.
