This is another sweet and touching story in the Greek Island Brides series and one in which Prince Charming is a little tarnished. Stacia Marinakos, sister of one of the grooms in a previous story, has been a widow for two years. Still sad and not sure what she wants to do the rest of her life, is not happy when her brother gifts her a cruise . Roberto Carrass works with Stacia’s brother. His cousin is getting married and the family has booked the same cruise. A workaholic, this confirmed bachelor is not happy with this situation, until he realizes Stacia is also on board the ship. More than a friendship develops, and when Roberto needs helps, a fake fiancee is created. Little did they know, that things would get complicated the more they act as a couple. This cute , and fairly clean story is one to be enjoyed in an afternoon when you want to escape knowing you’ll end with a HEA. I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
