Book Summary
Billionaire Greek playboy Iakovos Papaioannou
knew his sister hired her favorite band to perform at her birthday party. He's
just not sure how their six-foot tall, wild-haired, tempestuous manager has
already ended up in his bed-and in his heart. Eglantine Harry" Knight is
so not his type. She's as infuriating as she is intriguing, and she's can't
keep her hands off of him. But she just may be the woman who knocks him off the
world's most eligible bachelor list for good...
Book Review
Rating: 3/5
A friend of mine recommended Katie MacAlister. She said I
should try one of her books if I want something fun to read. And I did have a
great time reading this It’s All Greek to Me. It was pretty light and no
dull/dark moments in the book. Actually, I don’t think there is a real mystery
or even a story line: girl arrives in a foreign place, meets a
rich-handsome-guy, falls head over heels and lives HEA. Yes, there are a lot of
steamy scenes.
Nevertheless, I found the book utterly refreshing. The usual
chase between the male and female leads in nonexistent. There was no beating
around the bush. Both of them took the plunge. Which somehow I am thankful for,
because really, the characters are strong-minded people who know exactly what
they want to do with their lives. You will eventually be together, so why waste
time? Was there a conflict? Yes, there were tiny conflicts – no melodramas at
all. This fact will probably frustrate some of the readers.
I like Harry (although I find her real name weird). She is
one of the most pragmatic ladies I have met in fiction-land. She’s feisty,
witty and sarcasm is probably part of her accent. She’s strong, and doesn’t
lose her mind when the two of them fights or has a misunderstanding. Harry’s
inability to remember Iakovos Papaioannou’s name (which I even could not recall
easily) is an additional entertainment. Her ingenious versions are really
amusing. They settle their conflicts as soon as it arises and move on to the
next. She’s very vocal about her emotions, tells him that she loves him, but he
won’t tell her just the same (although it is pretty much obvious). It’s really
cute how she would try to goad him in speaking the three little words – and you
would never guess where, how, and when did he said ‘I love you’ to her – it was
just freaking hilarious.
The secondary characters like Theo adds spice to the story
and I sincerely hope Katie MacAlister would write his happy ending too.
For future readers, I advise you not to expect too much from
this book. It is good, you will have fun reading it but it may not have the
depth that you would like in a novel. However, if you want a fun, light read in
between those heavy doses of romantic novels – I suggest you give It's All Greek to Me a
chance and you’ll just not stop laughing your hearts out.

I forgot to insert it in my post, but i like this one:
“Do you want me to ride you like a rented mule, or do you prefer to be Mr. Missionary Position? I'm fine with wither, so it doesn't matter to me.”
