I usually don't read short stories but I found this one as a freebie on Amazon and really had to check it out. I haven't heard of the author and really had no expectations from this read, but it turned out ok.The premise sounded fun and summer is the perfect timing for reading a fun book, so I gave it a fair chance. As you can read from the blurb, the story is about Veronica, who gets divorced after being married for 10 years and decides to move on with her life. But moving on with your life doesn't necessarily mean you have to get into an impromptu marriage with a stranger, after just few drink on the beach, right? Well Veronica did it. Of course she has no memory of it and has no idea who Niko is (except that he is a Greek masterpiece).It's a romance story, yet there aren't really many romance elements (but that's just my POV) except what the readers can assume will happen at the end. It was predictable but an easy and quick read  and I surely don't regret checking it out. There were few things which sounded a bit silly to me and made the story bit too cheesy and shallow, and that's what bothered me the most about the story.On a final note, it's an easy and short read, but I won't go that far in saying I recommend it.
