Going Greek by Lelani Black

Going Greek by Lelani Black is wonderful romance. Lelani Black really knows how to capture the attention of her readers. Dmitri and Marigold’s chemistry leaps right off the page into the reader’s imagination. The icing on the cake is that the story is set against the beautifully picturesque backdrop of Greece.

Lingerie model Marigold Laurent arrives in Greece for a much-needed vacation from work and the sweet-talking man who broke her heart. Fate and the machinations of her well-meaning sister ensure that she collides with tall, dark and luscious Dmitri Damianos, forcing her no-men policy right out the window. But can he give her more than one-and-done?
Wealthy entrepreneur, Dmitri, guards his emotions well. And while he wants everything Marigold has to offer--beauty, wit, charm, and the best sex of his life--he can't give her what she really needs. But when the red-hot beauty climbs out of his bed and possibly out of his life, can he let her go?

Marigold is a successful lingerie model. She had everything she thought she wanted and more, but her heart was just dragged through the mud. Her ex boyfriend was attached and it wasn’t to her. She agrees to go on a trip to Greece with her sister to get away from it all. The last thing she wanted was a new love affair. When they arrive in Greece she meets the most gorgeous man she has ever laid eyes on. When she learns that he is her brother in law’s brother she is not thrilled because that means he will be around a lot, and her sister keeps insisting that he is exactly what the doctor ordered. That he is the perfect man to get her ex out of her head and help mend her broken heart. To top everything off she begins having fantasies and dreams about Dmitri. When he offers her a little fun will she take him up on his offer? Or will she wallow in her pain?

Dmitri is used to having girls swoon over him after all he is a Damianos so he is naturally blessed in the looks department. It doesn’t hurt that he is also wealthy. He has yet to meet his match and isn’t really looking for one at the moment. Then she walks into his life, the headstrong beauty he wants to call his own. Marigold is his brother’s new wife’s sister and she challenges him. Makes him look at himself and makes him question what he wants. He knows he wants her but he doesn’t want a commitment right now. Why is she so insistent on there being a commitment? They are not needed to have fun. He can’t get her out of his mind and she is driving him crazy. He is doing things that he would never do. He is even willing to try to give commitment a try. All he knows is he can’t pass up the chance to be with her. Can he follow through with commitment? Or will he resort to old habits? When Marigold’s ex shows up in Greece to win her heart back it may spell disaster for Dmitri. Will he lose her when he has just won her?

I really enjoyed the give and take in Dmitri and Marigold’s relationship. It did get a bit comical for me in the sense that I found myself saying things like “come on already”, “can’t you see that you are perfect for each other”. I think that Marigold’s sister played a big role in their match up. You could tell that was her plan from the beginning. Going Greek will leave the reader breathless and wanting to hop on a plane to Greece to find their own version of Dmitri. I would recommend Going Greek to anyone who enjoys reading romances.
