Publisher's summary

Mistress. It sounded so sordid, so impersonal, so far removed from the kind of relationship Marley Jameson had with Greek hotel magnate Chrysander Anetakis. What she thought she had. Until he abruptly broke things off between them and told her to leave his luxurious apartment.

Three months later Marley awakens in the hospital, with no memory of what happened before she got there. She can't remember her past, Chrysander...or the baby she carries. All she knows is that when Chrysander sweeps her away to his private Greek island, being with him feels like home. Even though he never speaks of love, surely his protectiveness and his desire for her prove how much she means to him. Until she remembers the truth....

Greek Tycoon Romance

I enjoyed this quick, easy to listen to Audiobook. Even though the plot was pretty basic and predictable, the author still did a nice job of portraying passion, lies and deceit. I liked the ending and the reader did a good job.

best book

made me cry! I felt like it was going all wrong! what a great book, I love this author

The Mistress

I have this ebook in my 'fav to hate' file. Here is the typical Greek alpha who is having an affair with a woman who used to work for him. She finds out that she is pregnant. He believes she is the company thief. The night she leaves the love nest she is abducted and held for ransom. He leaves New York. Several months later he is in town just long enough to do some work and to fly out the next day. He absentmindedly watching TV when he hears her name mentioned. She had been found after a botched kidnapping. And now she is five months pregnant. What happens next is the story line. Even listening to it here. Narrator was good. I still will put it back in my fav to hate file.

Awesome

I so enjoy books by Maya Banks. Mystery, intrigue and sexy Greek god (I mean man 😁)

Predictably Wonderful!

A good clean read written by Maya...... I prefer my booms more hot n steamy but for those who dont , this one still has a great storyline and interesting characters....

I find I like the oldies but goodies best of all

I have read most of Maya Banks books, but have gone backward to this series, which I missed. It reminded me of something I have contemplated when reading her current work. It is as if there are two authors in Ms. Banks’ mind. Her early books are well organized and well written. Her later books can ramble and contain countless run-on sentences. She repeats the same thoughts and feelings repeatedly. I continue to read them out of loyalty, but I do not enjoy them as much and am sometimes disappointed. It isn’t the less steamy story which is the defining difference, as her earlier BDSM and other more erotic stories are considerably different from more recent work. I hope that there isn’t a health issue impacting her cognitive and executive functions.

This book was really well done. It wasn’t a very original theme, but that is almost the definition of the genre. I read them because they make me feel happy as this one did. I route for the characters. I count on knowing that no matter how bleak things might seem for the hero and heroine, they will work it out in the end. Life doesn’t make those as same guarantees. I think it was smart to rerelease these books, and I am glad that I read this one. Well done.

Quick listen

I’m not crazy about the narrator. The story is entertaining enough though. It’s worth a listen, just not the best you’ll ever hear.

Maya Banks is a great writer!

A greek man falls in love with one of
his employees! He hides his feelings
until he finds out she was kidnapped!
Get ready for suspense, a baby and
an emp!oyee who isn't trustworthy!

Betrayal and love...

While I enjoyed the story in this audiobook, I didn’t care for the narration at all. The husky “smoker’s voice” just didn’t fit the characters I was visualizing. The heroine is falsely accused of stealing company info and selling it to the hero’s competition, thrown out of his wealthy apartment and promptly kidnapped. She hasn’t had a chance to tell him he’s going to be a father, either. He seems like a cold character at first, but I gradually warmed to his autocratic manner. When he next sees her it as she’s being rescued and reported on TV. Because of the trauma, she has amnesia so the story is complicated by that. Overall, an entertaining story..

Wonderful story

This book was a delight to read. It kept you in you thinking toes. Maya Banks is really good at foreshadowing and then bringing it all back around. Great writer.
