The hero was the one with amnesia in this one. It was a the second of a duo of books about brothers. I really enjoyed this one. It was pretty angsty. ( )

I had heard great things about this book, so I was really looking forward to reading it. I'm a sucker for Greek men and amnesia storylines, so I figured that this would be perfect for me. And from what I can remember, Lucy Monroe was one of my favorite authors when I read these books in college, before I took a break from romance novels.

However, I just found this book to be mediocre. I thought that the relationship between Eden and Aristide was actually fairly realistic, something that's rare in HP books; they dated for a year before getting married instead of just marrying for revenge or what have you. Their marriage was strained, thanks to Aristide's constant traveling and leaving his wife behind in Greece with his family, something that I could easily see. And once Aristide had "selective" amnesia in which he forgot Eden even existed, I thought that they reacted realistically to the situation, as well.

But there were some cracks in the realistic facade towards the end.

***there are some spoilers beneath this***

I think that Aristide said "I love you" way too quickly. They'd been married for something like two years and together for three, and he had never once said "I love you" to her, and yet he was saying the words shortly after they started having sex again. Hmm. And once he got his memory back, he gave some pitiful excuse about he hadn't said the words to her but he'd meant them? The whole thing was a mess, and if I had been Eden, I wouldn't have been so forgiving.

Also, I tend to hate romance novels where there's another woman (Kassandra, in this case) who has her sights set on the hero and he's totally oblivious about how much the woman is wrecking his relationship with his wife. It was nice that Kassandra got the boot in the end (as we knew she would), but I think that it should have come a lot sooner - and Aristide should have trusted his wife when she brought it to his attention.

***end spoilers***

Still, it was an okay escapist read, so I can't complain too much. I'll be picking up more books from Lucy Monroe. ( )

Ah, the escapism... Such an easy, wonderful, dramatic read for a few hours. ( )

The Greek’s Christmas Baby is exciting, tragic at times and a real tear jerker and one of Lucy Monroe’s most powerful love stories.

Eden has been raised by a father who was too busy with business to pay much attention to her so when she bumps into the handsome, sexy Aristide Kouros, he not only takes her breath away, he overpowers her with the attention he bestows. Months later into their relationship, Eden discovers she is pregnant and they marry. However, throughout the relationship Eden sees that Aristride’s personal assistant, Kassandra also has designs on him.

After their son is born, Eden tries to convince her husband that their marriage is on the brink of separation and tells him she is pregnant again. During this discussion, they have an accident and Astride suffers memory loss and doesn’t remember their marriage or problems.

As the story unfolds, Eden is hurt, heartbroken but decides she must make her marriage work as she loves her husband. This is such a heart wrenching and moving story, I suggest sit down and read it when you can devote your time to reading the entire story. The Greek’s Christmas Baby is another example of Lucy’s powerful delivery to her reader’s.
