Date: 05 20, 2012
Mona Risk taks readers on an exotic whirlwind romance to Greece. And the hero, Stefano, is every bit as much a Greek god as the cover model.Attorney Ashley Sheppard's grandfather sends her to Greece to save the Pink Villa he co-owned with his lost love, who has died. Torn apart, he hopes Ashley will save the villa, and he secretly hopes she will find love. Ms Risk's vivid writing provides a virtual vacation as she draws readers into the scenes. For those who say instant love is impossible, I would disagree. I remember the instant I met my husband as if it were five minutes ago, but it was much, much longer. My mom's friend has been happily married for 55 years to a man she knew a week before they wed. Occasionally, soul mates recognize one another, just as Stefano and Ashley are drawn together.I have always wanted to see Greece. Thanks to Ms Risk, I feel I have experienced all the sensory stimulation Greece has to offer. Yes, I still want to visit there, now more than ever because she has whetted my appetite with her picturesque descriptions.How sad that the first lovers were separated, but Ashley and Stefano find the happily-ever-after their grandparents were denied. I love Ms Risk's writing, and will buy any book she releases. She is a gifted writer.
