I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more of the series. It was an easy to follow story with likeable characters and an engaging storyline. Highly recommended.

I loved Frankie and Nik! I enjoyed reading their struggles and eventually finding a HEA. Joanne Walsh captures the beautiful Greece setting perfectly. I am looking forward to reading more of this series.

I was given an advanced copy for an honest review.

Frankie moves to Greece after her marriage fails (her husband cheated on her). She is harden about love and wants nothing to do with Nik when she first meets his shirtless self when he brings a hurt dog to the animal rescue center she works in. Nik is a rich playboy and is intrigued by Frankie and wants her immediately. She pushes off his advances at first and then he presents her with an offer she pretty much can't refuse (and doesn't) that ends up changing her life for the better.

Let me say first that I had a hard time starting this book up. I think I had a hard time getting around the broken English Nik had. That made the writing a little off putting for me. As well as the "bargain" he gave her. While I've read several books with money in exchange for intimacy, the way it was written had put me off for some reason.

After I got quarter into the book, the writing and the story turned around. I started to enjoy the characters a bit more. Frankie seems to loosen up some and Nik seemed to open up more, especially about his past and to why he has been a playboy. The book seemed to fly by then.

I wish I could give this book 2 1/2 stars, only because I didn't care to much for the characters (as I felt Frankie was a bit whiplash with her feelings) and the writing I didn't in particular care for, and the bedroom scenes could have been a bit steamier. Though if you like light romance then this one is for you.

Nik is very passionate. It's wonderful most of the time, other times it gets in the way and he sees things that isn't there.. The same can be said about Frankie too.. Both have been hurt badly and trust is a hard thing with them. I enjoyed, The Greek's Bedroom Bargain.

Romance between divorced, sworn off men Frankie and Greek volunteer fire fighter and millionaire businessman Nik.

I usually enjoy romances where the heroine gets romanced and appreciated by a better guy than her evil ex-boyfriend/husband who dumped her, damaging her self esteem in the process (boo hiss). They go perfectly with a big mug of tea and a bar of chocolate. This one just didn't do it for me. Neither heroine nor hero really appealed to me and the prose didn't flow for me, language like "pert globes" (ugh) for breasts really put me off. DNF.

The story was good, fun, enjoyed reading it! The character development was good. At first the pace of the story seamed slow but then again I picked up my space and finished the book. All over, it was okay

A big thank you to NetGalley and Tule Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. First time reading this author. I enjoyed the book, for some reason, I love reading about islands. No rationale!! Frankie is getting divorced and was not that pleasant to Nik when they first met. fighting attraction, I guess. Fun quick read and I think most Romance readers would enjoy. Reminded me of a Harlequin romance. 4 stars

Nik, gorgeous green millionaire and volunteer firefighter, wanted a summer long hot fling with Frankie, soon to be divoricee who is helping out at the temporary animal shelter. But is a hot fling enough? And what happens when emotions get involved?

Their story was enjoyable, background was given in surplus and the author obviously took care in her writing. However, the characters' actions didn't always fit. Certain scenarios didn't make sense and didn't fit who the characters were. No spoilers, but I felt like Nik as a millionaire needed some more maturity and brains before he could handle a credit card, not to mention millions of dollars.

It was a good book, and I do look forward to the rest of the series and where it will take us.

What happens when a player is tired of the same meaningless conquests? What happens when a marriage of seven years falls apart due to cheating? What does a woman do to recuperate after losing it all?

When Nik meets Frankie for the first time the attraction is instantaneous. It is obvious Frankie is not like the other women who he trifles with for a while and then dumps. Maybe this time he will find one woman that will challenge him?

As far as Frankie is concerned, she is not looking to start anything with a man like Nik. She is still trying to reconcile her heart to the fact that her husband has moved on and is in a new relationship. With her divorce being negotiated, all she wants is peace and quiet.

This love affair is bound to become more than they bargained for. Out of the ashes of regret and loneliness, a small flame grows between them. But first, they both will have to deal with their insecurities.

I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thanks to the publisher for sharing a copy with me.

The Greek Bedroom Bargain by Joanne Walsh. The first book in The Greek Island Millionaires series. A great start to a new series with a bit of spice in it. Likable characters that I look forward to reading more about. Loved the Greece setting, and storyline.

Frankie is in Greece to recover from her divorce from her cheating husband, so romance is the last thing on her mind.
Nik is a Greek billionnaire and shies away from relationships after being hurt before. But once he meets Frankie and spends more time with her he starts to want more.

Looking forward to the rest of the series.
