His Shock Marriage in Greece

Damen and Kassiani’s story was an emotional and wonderful story that began with deception and control issues. I really enjoyed His Shock Marriage in Greece by Jane Porter, book three in the Passion in Paradise series. Damen is a cold, ruthless businessman who is in need of a wife. Imagine his surprise, and anger, when his society bride is switched, at the last minute, for her innocent, socially inept, younger sister, Kassiani. Believing their marriage is to be strictly a business agreement, Damen struggles with Kassiani’s beauty, intelligence, curiosity and desire to better know her husband. Damen has secrets and baggage from his past, causing him to believe he is damaged and unfeeling. Kassiani was off the charts intelligent, knowing more than her father would ever give her credit for and he refused to allow her to work for the company. Good Greek Girls were not to discuss national matters or international policies, excel in math and economics, or read material beyond her years. Fortunately for Kassiani, Damen was willing to learn of and listen to her knowledge and her thoughts, unlike her father who rejected and ridiculed her. Kassiani needed to shower Damen with love, passion, and acceptance in order to break through his walls and to keep this marriage from being strictly a business arrangement as well as for Damen to reciprocate with the same. Ms. Porter wrote a wonderful and emotional story that was moving and filled with sexual chemistry, wonderful dialogue, and endearing but flawed characters that should definitely not be missed. Her descriptions of the Greek Isles are worth the read alone. Kassiani and Will needed to find the perfect partner for life, one who would unconditionally love and accept them, I highly recommend His Shock Marriage in Greece to other readers. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

An arranged marriage, or should I say a substitute bride. Kassiani steps up as a bride to Damen when her sister at the last minute changes her mind on her marriage. Damen states the marriage will only be a business marriage but the sexual chemistry can not be denied. Damen has a big secret from his past and has trust issues, plus he is pure alpha. Kassiani is very smart but has low self esteem but she might be the first person to break the shell of Damen. Loved this book, packed full of emotion of two broken people that find love in the end. Loved the setting in Greece, so wants me to visit this gorgeous country. Great banter and sexual chemistry between Kassiani and Damen. I could not put this book down, highly recommend.

Kassiani Dukas is in Greece to see her sister marry Damen Alexopoulos. However, on the day of the wedding, her sister is nowhere to be found. Kass’s father tells her she must stand in for her sister as this was an agreement between him and Damen and Kass reluctantly agrees. Damen knows he has been deceived when Kass arrives at the altar. Damen decides to treat this marriage as a business deal; he never wanted emotion to play a part in it any way. The more Kassiani is with Damen, the more she wants to know him and break through his cold exterior. Will she be able to? I truly enjoyed this story. I loved the characters and their interaction. It has all the feels; I grabbed a Kleenex more than once. This is a must read!
