A beautiful Greek island, a handsome but untrusting hero, a lovely but disillusioned young heroine.  In Aegean Intrigue, Patricia Kiyono takes elements that could have been totally predictable and crafts a memorable story of romantic suspense.The characters are cleverly written.  Both Alex and Francie have back stories that make them leery of trusting the honesty of the opposite sex, and when they are attracted to each other, they start second-guessing themselves.  Add to the mix the fact that Alex is involved in a deception.  He's an investigator passing himself off as the project manager of the archaeological dig where Francie is working, and SHE is his prime suspect! Not the most fertile ground for building a trusting relationship is it?However, the romantic tension between Francie and Alex is very well done.  It's handled in a wonderful way that is neither so saccharine as to be unbelievable nor so steamy that it overpowers the story.  Ms. Kiyono lets the story unfold in delightful way that will keep you reading to the end.I've read Ms. Kiyono's other stories (The Legacy and The Christmas Phoenix) and enjoyed them.  THis is another keeper for my bookshelf.  I hope to read more by this very talented author in the near future.
