Wow, this is another great book!  I am so glad that I decided to read the sample chapter.  It explains much better than the blurb about the book.  If I had only gone by that, I would never have bought this story.This story starts with Nicholas Dyonysus.  He is a Greek man who works in high stakes business and likes to win.  But, he feels that there is something missing in his life.  He is staying at a hotel in Hawaii that has become his most recent acquisition.  He is on his balcony when he sees Alexandria for the first time.  Her hair looks like flames in the day’s fading light.  He becomes obsessed with her.  He follows her when she goes shopping and then he doesn’t see her again for 2 weeks.  He is very concerned, but the hotel manager has told him that she has stayed there before and that she has a right to privacy.  So, being the alpha male he is, he hires private detectives to find out about her.  He learns that she is a 31 year old author who is extremely private.Meanwhile, Alexandria has prepared herself.  “They were coming, they were talking to her, and she was prepared. She sat down at her computer and logged on.”  When she finally emerges 2 weeks later, she is exhausted and she faints on the balcony and almost falls to her death.  She is rescued by Nicholas and then, he kidnaps her.  He takes her to his private island and he helps her become well again.  Of course, Alexandria is not happy about how she is treated.  She does not want to nap, eat healthy meals and be locked in her room.  When she does not cooperate, Nicholas spanks her.I really enjoyed this story.  Nicholas has fallen in love with Alexandria and he wants to take care of her.  He makes no excuses for his behavior and feels that it is justified.  He is an alpha male and he will do what he must.  Alexandria is a very misunderstood woman.  But, at no time are we led to believe that she is anything other than a strong woman.  There are reasons for the way she behaves and she does what she must to cope.  Now, even though Nicholas has kidnapped Alexandria, he does not act inappropriately towards her.  I was worried that this would turn into a non-consensual relationship. Nothing of this type happens.  He seduces her and she eventually falls for him.  The journey is everything in this story.  Please read it!  You will love it as much as I do!
