“Why don’t you call me Andros anymore?”

“Andros was the man I fell in love with.”

“And who is Alexandros?”

“The man I married.”

 

Pollyanna fell in love and married Greek billionaire Alexandros Kristalakis.  Little did she know that loving Alexandros would come with a price…one that will leave her feeling out of place and always coming in second to his family and his business.  Five years after saying “I do”, Polly has accepted her lot in life, and clings to the early memories of their romance.  Her beloved Andros is no more, and in his place is the powerful head of the Kristalakis Family.  How can she possibly compete?

Alexandros Kristalakis loves his wife more than anything, so when he overhears an offhanded comment about him not considering Polly’s feelings, he is struck with the truth that perhaps he has taken his beautiful bride for granted.  Carefully, he begins observing how his manipulative mother treats his bride as well as how his sister is constantly criticizing her.  Alexandros begins to realize that he’s allowed Polly to feel less than what she is…his beloved wife and mother of his children.  Alexandros is now on a mission to reclaim his love and show Polly that she will always come first in his life…but is it too little too late?

Billionaire troupes are not usually my genre of choice, but there is just something about this story.  Set aside the powerful tycoon and money and get to the heart of the plot…two lovers that took vows to love and cherish each other regardless, and like a lot of relationships, over time, a pattern emerges of going through the motions of how “happy” couples are supposed to behave.  The author reminds us that after the wedding vows are said, it takes work and an open and honest dialogue on behalf of both sides to keep the romance alive.  After the Billionaire’s Wedding Vows is thought provoking and well written, would recommend!

Sharing what I love,
