This is one of the better HPs I have read. Angolos Constantine has had cancer and thinks he cannot father a child so when his wife turns up pregnant he assumes she had cheated on him and kicks her out. The story starts about 4 years later when the boy is 3. Angolos' friend sees the boy and says he's got to be yours since he looks just like you. Whan Angolos realizes how wrong he was he tries everything he knows to regain his wife. But here's the difference, he doesn't do it in a totally arrogant way, but admits his mistake and tries to make amends. Another good part is that in the intervening years, the heroine, Georgie, who was 21 when they split up has grown a backbone and does not immediately fall back under his spell/power. Her strength is not just a token either, she follows through and makes him really work for her love. If you're into Harlequins at all this is a good one to read. ( )

The couple are separated, he believed she cheated as she announced she was pregnant and he believed he was sterile after cancer treatment.
Some of the conversations they have are really good, others are ridiculous and dated.
There was no cheating.
No intimate scenes with anyone other than the Hero and heroine.
Off page other woman drama in the form of her imagined image of his ex wife.
Off page family interference discussed from their past.
Off page other man drama, her friend who is by but the Hero didn't know.
I would have preferred some on page drama, present day with the issues from the past.
HEA.

Georgette, a British student who hopes to become a teacher, meets Angolos, a Greek businessman, while on vacation with her family. After a whirlwind romance, the pair of them marry and move to Greece. However, once Angolos is told that Georgette is pregnant, he inexplicably tells her to leave forever. Angolos, although he has not told his new wife this, has been left sterile after cancer treatment, and he is certain that this baby is not his. He doesn't bother with a paternity test; instead, he sends Georgette money every month. But Georgette, who realizes her dream of becoming a teacher, doesn't touch his money, and she contents herself to raising Angolos' son alone - until one of Angolos' friends sees Georgette's son and tells Angolos that the boy is a dead ringer for Angolos. Angolos goes to England in an attempt to win back the woman he still loves and his miracle son.

I was really hoping that this book would be great; the premise sounded interesting to me. However, the writing style never really clicked with me, and the plot became even more ridiculous. The drama in Angolos' relationship with Georgette was stupid; if only he'd sat down and talked with her for just a few minutes, everything would have been worked out for them. I mean, seriously, what kind of worldly man just kicks out a woman he loves who is claiming to be his child, a child that he wants to believe is his, without so much as a paternity test? Especially if the man only assumes that he's sterile; he's never had any testing done that shows that he actually IS sterile. So, in spite of obviously being good in business, Angolos is quite stupid.

Georgette is a rather likable character for the most part; she's not the same backward girl she once was, and it's nice seeing her be feisty. But she has a tendency to be too whiny and forgiving. Yes, Angolos is stupid, but the misunderstandings are also partially her fault, as well. If either one of them had just bothered to talk to one another, this story could have been wrapped up in just a few pages.

Speaking of wrapping up the story, the author really threw in too many things at the end to keep the story going. Characters abruptly changed entire personalities without explanation, crazy events happened just to pad the page count, and more miracles occurred. In the end, I was glad to be done with the book. ( )
