Zak and Lucy had enjoyed a whirlwind passionate affair before Zak unexpectedly dumped Lucy, leaving her pregnant with his child.
Although Lucy tried to inform Zak of her pregnancy, she was cruelly barred from seeing him by his staff.
Lucy is left to bring up her daughter until she once again meets Zak. The book is beautifully written, exploring how the couple’s passionate relationship begins again, but with Zak’s mistrust of Lucy and suspicions regarding their previous affair dominating, the path to true love definitely doesn’t run smooth.
The characters are well drawn by the author, believable and charismatic. Definitely worth reading.

This is a short read packed with drama. Rich boy Jax meets poor waitress Lucy and leaves her with a baby daughter. Two years later Jax walks back into her life and their relationship is rekindled. A pacy, glamorous and saucy read.

This is the third book in Lynne Graham’s “Brides for the Taking’ series. Although I haven’t read the previous instalments, I didn’t encounter any issues reading this as a stand alone novel as the characters from the previous books don’t appear until the final chapter, and, as the main character, Lucy, hasn’t met her half-sisters previously, I didn’t feel I was missing any information relevant to the plot, and I don’t feel it would be necessary to go back and read the previous books.
As with previous Lynne Graham books I have read, she presents well written characters that are likeable, and an easy to follow (if somewhat familiar) plot where Jax is suddenly reunited with Lucy, who has given birth to his daughter since he last saw her. It works well as a plot device that Lucy and Jax have a history rather than all the action taking place within days of them meeting, and the story sits well against the backdrop of an idyllic Greek island which is well described giving the reader a sense of the location.
It was nice discover that Jax had flaws and hand’t had a perfect life (as sometimes the heroes in romance novels are just too perfect) and this did make his individual history relate well to Lucy’s back story.
Overall, a well written story that uses familiar themes, but still has enough twists and turns to keep the reader interested.

This is the third book in the Brides for the Taking trilogy. Sold for the Greek's Heir by Lynne Graham encompasses a whirlwind affair, misunderstandings, interfering fathers and a baby. Jax (the hero) is determined to marry Lucy and claim his heir.
Lucy has been mistreated by Jax due to his interfering father she is thrown off his boat when she goes to tell him she is pregnant. She meets him again in Greece, tells him about his baby daughter, he wants his heir so he forces her to marry him.
Well written, this will they or wont they get together/stay together has family drama, angst and a happily ever after.

I'm reviewing Sold for the Greek's Heir, by Lynne Graham. Gosh! I think I may have rambled on too much with this one... Here's what I thought:

^^ Now, I've always considered myself not a typical Mills and Boon reader, but I've picked up a few recently and been pleasantly surprised how enjoyable they are. There's much more to these books than just an airy-fairy romance. They're meatier than you think, whilst still keeping that lovely romantic element to them, which are key to these books.

^^ Take this one for instance, at only 197 pages it's a short read, but it's packed with family drama, a will-they-won't-they romance, and you get a guaranteed happy ever after.

^^ Lucy was treated badly by her boyfriend, Jax, a couple of years back, and just before he dumped her she discovered she was pregnant. She tried to do the honourable thing and tell him, but when she went back she was removed from his premises by his staff with no explanation. What had happened for him to do this to her? Admittedly, he's got money, and has a bit of a playboy attitude, but that's still no excuse to treat her so badly, even if he had just grown bored of her.

^^ Now, back to the present time, Jax is back in her life, and there's an undeniable chemistry between them they're finding hard to escape, but can she forgive him for dumping her like that? And what of their child? What if he finds out about her and wants to take her away from him? Lucy is not one to go down without a fight if needs be, but Jax can be very domineering. He also has a lot of money, and with money comes power.

^^ I like Lynne Graham's work. In the past I've also read authors like Ally Blake, Kate Hardy and Kim Lawrence, and enjoyed them, too; enough to keep coming back for more!

^^ I was lucky enough to get this copy from Netgalley, however, I didn't realise this was a final book in a series of three. It doesn't say on the cover and it's not until I looked it up on GoodReads to add it to my TBR pile, that I realised this. With this in mind, I have to say how we meet Lucy's sisters towards the very end of the book. They're fun characters, who'd just met, but the book finished before we got to know them. I had a assumed they'd be in a follow on book, where they'd be featured more heavily as the new-to-Lucy family. But upon my research, I've discovered they were in the previous books. So this story pretty much reads as a standalone anyway.

Overall: This was much better than I anticipated. The romance is well written, and there's plenty of family drama to get involved in and of course, it has a lovely happily ever after romance readers all know and love.

3.5 Stars!


The last book in Lynne Graham’s Brides for the Taking series; Sold for the Greek’s Heir, gives us third and final sister; Lucy Dixon's story.

"It’s my turn to do the walking away…"

Two years on from Jax Antonakos walking out of her life, Lucy never expected to see him again, so when he chairs the meeting she’s waitressing for in the hotel she works at, her initial reaction is to get out of there as quickly as possible.

She hated Jax now with the same passion she had once put into loving him…

Problem is Jax goes after her and always gets what he wants, and even though he believes her to be a liar and a cheat, no woman has never affected him the way Lucy does.

"I’ve got a hunger that one night won’t come anywhere near satisfying."

However, it comes as a bit of a surprise, when he discovers that Lucy has been living with a part of him since their separation, a child conceived in the six weeks they spent together, something he never knew about.

"Together we make a family."

This is your basic, forced to wed for the sake of the child trope, and one that Mills & Boon and its authors do really well. Jax was arrogant, formidable and dominating, and Lucy had a little sass when it came to acquiescing to his demands, the secondary familial drama on both sides padded it out nicely, and I liked that the end included all three sisters and closed off the series nicely.

Last in the Trilogy but Worth the Wait, 5 stars 🌟 :

Sold for the Greek's Heir is the third book of Lynne Graham's Brides for the Taking trilogy and although linked by the same back story of three sisters looking for their father's, this book follows the third sister Lucy who has already found her father, but is unaware she has two half sisters looking for her.

We start the book by meeting Jax and immediately are shown a character who appears on the surface to be a Playboy with an aversion to settling down but even at the start shows signs of a deeper character with a troubled past. We are also introduced to Kat a longtime family friend who is clearly wanting more than friendship from Jax but although this is suggested Kat only makes a small appearance in the story and I felt her character could have made more of an impact than she did?

When we meet Lucy she is already living with her father and stepmother and we soon learn that there is history with Jax and Lucy fathers, it is this back story which complicates things further for the couple, but as the past is confronted can Lucy forgive Jax to find her HEA. The final chapter of the book very cleverly brings together all three sisters and their husband's whilst bringing us up to date with their lives and I would encourage anyone who hasn't read the first two books in the trilogy to go back and see how they got their HEA!

I was really looking forward to reading Lucy's story as I had previously enjoyed the first two in the trilogy and wasn't disappointed, (although in my opinion Ms Graham never disappoints). However, you could read each book as a standalone and still enjoy them.

Fyi I received my copy from NetGalley and Mills and Boon via Mills and Boon Insiders, but this does not influence my opinions as all opinions are my own.

2*
I can't remember the last time I read a Mills and Boon romance but I liked the blurb and really wanted to read this.
Lucy was nineteen years old when she lost her heart and her virginity to Jax Antonakos but he ditched her without an explanation or even a text. He just didn't turn up for their last date, didn't phone or anything and when she tried to contact him he blocked her calls leaving her pregnant and alone, in his defence he didn't know she was pregnant but still.
Two years later their paths cross again. Lucy remembers how she was physically thrown from Jax's boat and verbally abused. Jax remembers when he discovered the kind of woman Lucy really was.
While they may claim to dislike each other they can't deny or fight the attraction that flares between them.
This book goes as expected but I have to admit it wasn't anywhere near as good as I'd expected.
I didn't feel any real chemistry between these two, I didn't particularly like either of them which didn't help, it was slow in places and I started skimming but even through it was slow parts were rushed and didn't really fit.
It was an odd mix which didn't work for me.

I voluntarily read a review copy kindly provided by NetGalley and Mills and Boon.

I loved this story and I really didn't want it to end.
They both have a painful history with each other and both having a different perspective on what caused them to part ways the first time they were in a relationship with one another so when they cross paths again 2 years later both their worlds get turned upside down.
I loved the characters in this story and how all of their lives intertwine it's so clever I only wish I'd read the 2 other books before so that's what I'm going to do and read this one all over again.
A big fat 5 stars from me and I will definitely be following lynne graham from now on you have gained a fan .
