    About this audiobook

    Award-winning author Katie MacAlister's romances are a frequent sight on both the New York Times and USA Today best-seller lists. In It's All Greek to Me, billionaire Iakovos Papaioannou hooks up with a woman who's nothing like the beauties he normally dates. Iakovos is awestruck by the six-foot-tall, wild-haired manager of the band playing at his sister's birthday party. It quickly becomes obvious she wants Iakovos in the worst way, and while he finds her infuriating, he can't help but wonder if she's the one who will convince him to commit to forever.

    Katie MacAlister

    Despite her love for novels, Katie MacAlister didn’t think of writing them until she was contracted to write a non-fiction book about software. MacAlister resolved to switch to fiction, where she could indulge in world building, tormenting characters, and falling madly in love with all her heroes. More than thirty books later, her novels have been translated into numerous languages, recorded as audiobooks, received several awards, and landed on the New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists. She also writes for the young adult audience as Katie Maxwell.

      I read through half of the book, and then realized I wasn't engaged enough to want to finish it. The story had unique aspects to it, but I couldn't relate to the H/H. First reason, the "couple" hooked up (lust at first sight) within an hour (?) of meeting each other. Okay, I can look past that; they are both consenting adults and in their 30's. Second reason, the couple decides they're in love within 24 hrs of meeting. Third reason, by 2nd/3rd day (?), the couple KNOWs they will be married in the future. That's where I lost my interest.
      These are supposed to be 2 savvy people, well past the "first love" stage that most experience during their 20's. Even if I were to ignore Reason #2, the heroine is on the island because a sick friend needed her help in babysitting a band of underage kids. I would assume the heroine was chosen because she was mature in both attitude and action.
      The hero, a self-made billionaire, is enabling his young (early 20s) brother, to continue drinking heavily and making unwanted or aggressive moves on both a minor from the band AND the heroine. The hero thinks that by threatening physical harm or talking harshly to the young man is going to stop the behaviors. I assumed the Hero would see the folly of such approach, and instead, kick him out of the house, cut off access to money, and told to get a job.
      I guess I need some sense of realism in the (otherwise) heavily fantasy-driven, contemporary romance stories I choose to read.

      Review Courtesy of Dark Faerie TalesQuick & Dirty: Steamy goodness and hilarious fun.Opening Sentence: The man in front of her was crazy.The Review:Fate does indeed smile upon those who are willing to be kind to their fellow man. When Harry agrees to fill in as manager of a teen-pop band headed for a gig in Greece as a favor for a sick friend, the planets align and serve up her destiny on a rather large silver platter. A gorgeous, loveable, and rather hot silver platter.Iakovos is a gorgeous, playboy gazillionaire extraordinaire. I mean the man even owns his own private island. When he agrees to hire his baby sister’s favorite band to play for her birthday, he thinks he is just being a good older brother. What he doesn’t realize is that the one who is to be the love of his life will also be traveling with them, and his life will never be the same.When the pair meet amidst a scandalous incident involving a member of the band and Iakovos’s almost as handsome brother, the two instantly butt heads. However, just as quickly, the sparks begin to fly, and we find them locking lips in a hospital hallway, and a short time later, the rest of their body parts get to join in on the fun.As their whirlwind of a courtship ensues, the two must overcome a few obstacles, a lewd drunk of a younger brother, a temperamental lead singer, a jealous ex-girlfriend, and tabloid rumors… not to mention a rather surprise pregnancy when one of the parents wasn’t even supposed to be able to have kids. But in the end, the two do find their way, make more beautiful babies and live their HEA.I, for one, am jealous. These two are living out their days inhabiting a private island off the coast of Greece. It’s a beautiful place, next to a beautiful country, with beautiful people. But that’s now all. They have an apartment in Athens, home of gods and goddesses, myths, legends and awesome sites. With just enough time spent in the States so you wouldn’t get homesick, a girl would be insane not to sign up for this deal.Also, I have to ask, who names their poor, innocent little baby something like “Eglantine”? Where exactly did her parents come up with that one? If that were my name, I’d have people call me something like Harry as well.I love an irreverent, smart-alecky main character. Harry is one sassy lady, overflowing with sarcasm and rather adept at the witty comeback. Some of the lines given to her are things I could only come up with an hour after having a conversation. You know, when you’re in your car on the way home and you’re like, “Dang, I wish I had said such and such.”I also love a delectable foreign leading man. One who can love with his whole soul, and isn’t easily intimidated. Who can be surrounded by beauty, and still only have eyes for his wife. The kind of guy that opens his home to a gang of teen musicians just to make his baby sister happy. If he weren’t fictional, I’d take him myself, even though I already am a married woman.Put those two together, watch for the fireworks, and be careful you don’t get burned. These pages are so chock full of hot steamy goodness, I found my blanket and slippers unnecessary, even in this weather. As a warning ladies, this book requires reading when you have some serious alone time, because by page 35 it’s already not-safe-for-work, children or great Aunt Sally, but will definitely benefit the man in your life! *wink, wink*Notable Scene:“Why, if it isn’t Harry,” came a cool voice from behind her. “We haven’t seen you in weeks.”Harry turned, her smile growing when she realized that her day really was going to be the best ever. “Hello, Tess.”Tess Hayerson, it was whispered around the gym, was a woman who chewed men up and spat them out, usually after marrying them. Rumor had it that her third ex-husband had agreed to a divorce settlement that paid her in enhancement surgery, rather than money. In her early thirties, with long auburn hair, and an eye for the male of the species, she was the sexpot of their little group.“Been putting on a bit of weight, sweetie?” Tess asked, giving her a scathing once-over. “I think a little extra time at the gym and a little less sitting around eating bonbons is in order, don’t you?”“I can honestly say that I have never had a bonbon in my life,” Harry said. “Nice to see you, too.”Tess opened her mouth to make a response, but at that moment she caught sight of Iakovos and his swarm of ladies. “What do we have here?” Tess asked, her voice a purr. “My god, he’s gorgeous. Just look at those legs! And that chest.”“He’s something, isn’t he?” Harry asked, fighting to keep her lips from betraying her. She leaned closer and said softly, “Rumor has it that he’s packing, too.”“A man that big? I wouldn’t doubt it at all. I bet he’s a handful in bed. Or should I say, two handfuls.”“Two, definitely,” Harry said, pretending her nose itched so she could cover her mouth.“He looks familiar. What is he doing here?” Tess asked, her gaze all but eating Iakovos up. “Is he a vendor or something? No matter, I don’t care if he’s here to fix the toilets, it’s clearly time to separate the girls from the women!”She oiled her way forward, all sinuous hips and out-thrust breasts. Iakovos had evidently reached the saturation point of female adulation, for he managed to extricate himself from the gaggle of ladies and headed straight for Harry. Tess stopped in front of him, cooing, “Hello there.”“Hello,” he said politely, not pausing until he reached Harry.“I love you,” she told him before she leaped on him, wrapping her legs around his hips. He chuckled as he hoisted her up, kissing her with the passion that never failed to flare between them.She heard more gasps behind him, followed by a smattering of applause.“Are you ready to go?” he asked as she lowered her legs to the ground.“In just one sec.” She turned back to the ladies, her hand on his arm. “Tess, I don’t think you got to meet my fiancé, Iakovos. If he looks familiar, it’s probably because you’ve seen him in magazines. I’ll miss you all, but you know you’re welcome to visit if any of you ever come to Greece.” She hugged each one of her friends, Tess included, accepting their best wishes and promises to stay in touch.As they left the building and headed for Harry’s car, Iakovos slid her a glance and asked in a misleadingly bland tone, “Was it everything you hoped it would be?”“Oh, that and so much more.”FTC Advisory: Penguin Group provided me with a copy of It’s All Greek to Me. No goody bags, sponsorships, “material connections,” or bribes were exchanged for my review.

      I have not read many books by Ms. MacAlister, but if they are all similar to this I will love them all. I found this book fun. I read it in one day since I just could not put it down. I find it very refreshing in the Romance Genre when the story is actually a story not as massive drama. It it wonderful to read about the development of a relationship that does not include an event which "threatens to tear apart" the happy couple. I loved the dialogue. Great read.

      It’s All Greek to Me – Katie MacAlisterKatie followed her formula of writing; actually with this book, I don't think she took one step off the path of the formula she uses. If you are a fan of Katie MacAlister as I had been, then I think you will know what I mean.The formula? A heroine who is strong, smart and incredibly understanding yet runs off at the mouth inappropriately has sex somewhat too soon, declares her love a bit too soon and is totally irreverent to the ones she loves. A book filled with sly jokes and innuendo. Slapstick.The sex scenes (and there were reams and reams of them in this book) are typical of past books too. The female (Harry) has an unhealthy fascination with the ‘hero’s’ (Yacky) body and typically what she want to do is to lick him –a lot- and in many, many places.Oddly in this book I got to about 33 percent (reading on Kindle) and thought the book was done, over finished. They met, they had relations, and they fell in love. Yet the book was not done yet. We had to deal with the story and there wasn’t much story. Usually Katie’s books deal with some sort of mystery even her contemporaries and historical but this- I cannot even begin to tell you that this book was about anything else other than what I’ve already described. Mouthy writer meets hunky Greek billionaire, has sex, falls in love, has a tiny bit of conflict and misunderstanding with Yacky, deals with an alcoholic brother of the hero, resolves the issue(s) and they live happily ever after . Which you must do in contemporary romance and Katie does always give us that!Formulaic to the end .Oh and if you are reading this on Kindle be aware that the book does NOT end at the page that tells you to “click here to see more books by this author.” An entire epilogue is important to the resolution of the ‘story’ follows that page..
