"I
enjoyed getting to know Savannah and Leiandros while they were
learning about each other. I loved everything about THE
GREEK TYCOON’S ULTIMATUM - the characters, the plot, and the
beautiful descriptions of Greece. I am looking forward to
more from Lucy Monroe!" ~ Alane Coppinger for Blue
Ribbon Reviews
"An
excellent debut novel -- well paced, sparkling dialogue.
Lucy Monroe has captured all of the elements of a good romance

"If
you believe in destiny, second chances and happy endings, you
won't want to miss Lucy Monroe's THE GREEK TYCOON'S ULTIMATUM."
~ Sondrea Cash, Romance Reviews Today
"October
marks the promising debut of new author, Lucy Monroe. The Greek
Tycoon's Ultimatum has a lot of passion, conflict, drama and
emotion." ~ Shannon Short, The Romantic Times BOOKClub
“Presents fans,
rejoice, and take note: Lucy Monroe will soon be a shining
star within the Presents line. THE GREEK TYCOON'S ULTIMATUM is
a fabulous read with all
the elements beloved by Presents fans: alpha hero, strong
heroine, scorching sensuality, and exotic setting. Ms. Monroe understands
alpha heroes and what readers want because though Leiandros is
definitely alpha, he isn't cruel or abusive, and he does indeed crawl
when he discovers the truth about his misconceptions and absolutely
melts your heart. If you haven't read a Presents lately, or are new to
the line, THE GREEK TYCOON'S ULTIMATUM
is the perfect introduction. Highly recommended.” ~

"Lucy Monroe captivates readers with her first
book, a tale about family loyalties, desire, compassion and romance as if she
has been doing it for years. Ms.
Monroe brings together a strong alpha male with an intelligent, fiery female who
need each other and captured my heart. This book is a MUST read, one I believe readers will enjoy immensely."
~ Tracey West, The Road to Romance
“Romantic
throughout, THE GREEK TYCOON'S ULTIMATUM is a charming yet realistic

what
other AUTHORS and BOOKSELLERS are saying...
"It's
FABULOUS!!! If you enjoy stories by Linda Howard, Diana
Palmer, Elizabeth Lowell, then I think you'd really love
Lucy's work. Bigger than life alpha hero who takes charge,
but is loving and protective. Heroine with few choices
left to her. A GREAT resolution and lot of sexual tension.
I'm loving it, folks! I can't wait for the next one."
~ New York Times Bestselling Author, Lori Foster, posted to her
romance
board.
"The
Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum by new author, Lucy Monroe, is an
intense, compelling read from page one to the very end. With her
powerful voice and vision, Lucy packs emotion into every scene.
If you like sizzling stories with tangible sexual tension, The
Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum is not to be missed!" ~ Bestselling
Author, Jane Porter
"The
Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum transported me back to the Greek Islands
where I have holidayed many times over the years. So much so, I
could almost smell the scent of honeysuckle in the air!
Lucy has written a wonderful full-blooded hero and a beautiful warm
heroine with two of the most adorable little girls in the world!
If you're in need of a little Mediterranean sun and a romance to
remember long after the sun goes down, then look no further!" ~ Harlequin
Presents Author, Maggie Cox
"The Greek Tycoon's
Ultimatum is a charming tale of culture clash and love. The
delightful characters jump off the page!" ~ Theresa Scott,
Author
"Debut romance novelist,
Lucy Monroe will be a definite hit with fans of alpha male vs strong willed
female. In the style of Lynne Graham, The Greek Tycoon's
Ultimatum meets all the requirements of an unforgettable story."
Bookseller Vickie Denney, NPOB
“I
stayed up until
1
a.m.
reading The Greek
Tycoon’s Ultimatum and I very much enjoyed it.
I thought the author did a great job, particularly with
the characters . They
were well-rounded and believable.
As was the plot. I
liked the conflict and felt if I’d been put in the same
situation, would have reacted the same way.
I really liked Leiandros – even though he was the alpha
male, when it came right down to it, he had a heart.”
Marcy Dodge, Borders Books, Music & Cafe
what
READERS are saying...
“Hi Lucy - Wanted to send a quick email and let you know that
I just completed The Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum.
Great Job!!! I was
captured by your story immediately. The storyline is a
very compelling and emotionally gripping. The sensitive
nature of
Savannah
's marriage and the attraction to another man was written
tastefully, yet sensually. You have won my readership.
You are a star among stars. Three cheers and hoorah for
all your future successes!!!” ~ Patricia R in the USA
"I live in the U.K and
wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your book. In fact I am now
re-reading it and I only bought it yesterday!!!! Please tell
me you have got more stories lined up? Thank you for such a
great read." ~ Dee in the UK
"In
a word, EXCELLENT! TGTU took me on a roller coaster of emotions,
even in scenes where I didn't expect almost unbearable emotional
intensity, you whammied me. Savannah was great: gentle and
feminine but strong and courageous, not always an easy mix to get
right, but you did it! And Leiandros was a perfect alpha male.
An area you handled like a pro who's been doing it for years was the
controversial topic of domestic violence - very sensitively
portrayed. Truly well
done Lucy! No wonder it's debuted in the UK Top 100!! Thank you for
a delightful read, and looking forward to many more in the
future." ~ Judy in
South Africa
“I hope you'll take this
as the highest compliment--your book is exactly like the kinds of
Presents I LOVE to read and don't find enough of. I can't wait
for the next one. So much emotion, such sensuality and that
wonderful, WONDERFUL way of presenting a kind of otherworldly
connection between the hero and heroine. It was awesome.
Great book. Great job.
You should be very proud.” ~ Dani in Canada
