Review: Groom and Doom: A Greek Love Story~
Rating: 3 out of 5

It is about five years later, and the story is told from Angela's viewpoint as she looks back, re-examining the events of the past and reminiscing about some pivotal episodes. The conversations between the characters, particularly between Angela and Stavros, play a significant role in how this novel progresses. I would have liked to have been shown some of the past incidents instead of simply told about them. As the story's title suggests, there is a darkness that clings to the periphery, constantly challenging the happiness of this young couple. I personally found Stavros' weak nature often irritating, though he truly does have a charm that is impossible to overlook. I feel the couple could have avoided some of the unpleasantness if they could have delayed their wedding a month in order to have allowed Georgius and the family the traditional mourning period. That Stavros and Angela refused to move the wedding date showed gross inconsideration in my book; no small wonder Georgius behaved abominably. Quite different than what I expected, this was entertaining none-the-less, and I continued to ponder certain aspects of the tale long after I read the last word.LaurieReviewer for Coffee Time Romance & More
