"Hi Lucy - Just had
to let you know how excited I am about your book deal with
Brava. I just can not wait! I knew that The Greek Tycoon's
Ultimatum was destined for my keeper shelf by page 30! Your
books will be up there with Linda Howard, Julie Garwood, Adele
Ashworth and a few more that are keepers and auto buys for me.
It is SO great to find another author that I can look forward to
their books. Keep up the great work!" ~ Marsha P in the US
“Hi..I just finished
reading your novel entitled ‘The Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum’
in one sitting. I
enjoyed reading it and I hope you enjoyed writing it, too.
I am looking forward to your next novel coming up this
December 2003. I checked out the storyline at harlequin's
website and I am sure this will be a winner too.
I like your writing style...keep it up. Till
next...” ~ Laida in

“I devoured TGTU this
weekend...it was delicious! I wanted to read more... GREAT BOOK
LUCY!” ~ Jana in
North America
“WOW!!!! I
loved it! You have a way with words that is rare. The characters
are so real, so very vivid. I was totally caught up in the whole
story, the emotions, everything. All I can say is I can see why
M&B bought your book! It's because (and I'm going to use a
true blue Aussie-ism here) it's bloody brilliant!” – Serena
in
Australia
“OH MY GOSH!! I
just finished your book. I got it at around 12 this
afternoon and finished it about 5:30 p.m. I really, really
liked it a lot." ~ Barb in the USA
"Savannah
and Leiandros sparkle on the page, their fiery temperaments and
strong wills allowing the tension to simmer before exploding
during those carnal clashes. Your characters are so evocative
and memorable, Lucy.” ~ Kim S in the

read The Greek Tycoon's
Ultimatum and I LOVED it! Been recommending it to all my

thing to say about your book and that is it was intense. I loved
the book and it is on my keepers shelf.
When can we look forward to more? I
do hope soon.” ~ Belarl
“Ms Monroe - First of
all thank you for having the contest, I received ‘The Greek
Tycoon’s Ultimatum’ in the mail.
What a wonderful story, I read it in one night, I could
not put it down. I look forward to reading more of your stories.
Thank you.” ~ Karen A in the USA
“I'm not usually a fan
of romance but yours was outstanding. I too liked the sexual
tension between the main characters. They were real people and
not all "Swoony" like so many other characters in
romance books. Keep up the wonderful writing. You are the best!
What a God given talent you have.” ~ Diane K in the
USA
“It was great!
You have lots of emotion, warmth, and leave the reader thinking
about their own life. Where do I let "fear" keep
me back from really living? So...thanks. Great
question to ponder.” ~ Lorie in the
USA
“Congratulations on
the kudos you are receiving on 'The Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum'. I've read the book and it
is wonderful. Amazing
in fact. I've gone
back and tried to find one place where you used the word 'feel',
'felt' or 'feeling' and have been unable to find a single
instance. Your
pacing is to be envied. Seems
you've done everything exactly right. You've
set a standard for all romance writers to aim for.” ~ Linda F
in
Canada
“Good Morning Lucy!
Well my package came from New and Used Books which
contained 'The Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum'. I started it during my lunch and couldn't
put it down! I couldn't wait to get home from work
and I honestly read while I cooked, when I took a bath and
couldn't put it down until I finished. All I can say
is wow!!!! You have so much talent and you've
definitely found your calling. I was so pulled into
that story and your characters. You did an absolute
fantastic job!!!!! It just blows my mind that this
is your first book and I have to wonder what the next ones will
be like. You will always be an automatic buy for me
and I can't wait until your next masterpiece!!!!!
Thank you so much for all of your hard work and please,
please keep it up!! Your fans appreciate it!!
Have A Wonderful Day Lucy! *hugs*” ~ Susan S in the
USA
“Oh
my GOODNESS Lucy!!! I LOVED your book! It is going
straight onto my keepers shelf. What an awesome story and
it hooked me right from the start. Thank you for such a
great read.” ~ Karri from Down Under
“I
really enjoyed this book, man, the hero was awesome, I cannot
wait to read more of Lucy's stories, the tension, and the
charged atmosphere every time they were around each other was
wonderful!! Keep it coming!!” ~ Trish in the
USA
“I
have finished the book Lucy, and boy I am going to call the
master of sexual tension. The way you bring them close but
not all the way there a couple of times, terrific...I walked
away from this book feeling as if they really were really meant
for each other and no body else...great characters and I enjoyed
it. So, what is the next book about???” ~
Tracy

read!!” ~ Rhonda P in the
USA
“Lucy
- I am reading your first book. You do a wonderful job.”
~ Lorie in the
USA
“Hi
Lucy - Wasn't feeling so great this weekend, so I never made it
onto the treadmill to start reading. But the book kept
calling me, so I took the boys to the park, planted myself
on a bench and started. Laughed again at the opening line - it's
one of the best ever. Ranks up there with my favorite Nora
line "Being dead didn't make Jack Mercy less of a son of a
bitch". LOL I
don't normally read Presents, either, but if this is what
they're like, I'll definitely make a point of it now.
Nothing like a big ol' Alpha being brought to his knees by the
love of a good woman - that's the best. :o)'The Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum'
was a
great read - and the boys like it, too, cuz they got to stay at
the park longer than usual. LOL
Cheers...” ~ Laura in the
Canada
“I
finished'The Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum' last night, Lucy, and it was lovely. I don't
usually read Presents, but I always support my friends and guess
what? I couldn't put it down. So well done...Very well
done!” ~ Louise in
Canada
“Lucy
- I really enjoyed your book. I look forward to your next one
coming out.” ~ TexasReader in the
USA

Saturday, finished it by the evening. It was
wonderful. I loved it.” ~ Dawn in the
UK
“Lucy - I finished
your story this morning :-) Just wanted you to know I thoroughly
enjoyed it. and hope you write many more.
This was only my 2nd HP ever to have read in the past 2
weeks. I'm really interested in this line now.” ~ Loretta in
the
USA
“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
“Lucy - I Finally got 'The Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum'
in my eHarlequin book order on Friday morning and I had to
wait to all day knowing it was there ...waiting to read it.
I couldn't put it down once I started it, I took it with
me to get a soda refill and snack, holding it the whole
time. I absolutely loved it! I can't believe this is your
debut book, it was so ...polished and had such depth, I felt so
connected to the characters and could easily imagine them as
"real" people. You
are one talented lady! Thank
you for the
great story, now I can't wait until your next one gets
released :) PS Any
chance that Raven the PI will get his own story? I know he was
only in the book for a short bit, but he left an impression even
the same. They all did.” ~ Elaine in the
USA
“I read it in one
sitting. It was wonderful.” ~ Deborah in the
USA
“I got it!!! I
read it!!! Wow Lucy
great book!!!!!! I
could not put it down!! I loved it. It is going on
my keeper shelf. Thanks
for such a wonderful story and characters.
PS: When does your next one come out? LOL” ~
Carolynn in the
USA
“Lucy - It is soooo
hard to tell someone how much you enjoyed their work without
sounding effusive or redundant....suffice to say I was
captivated by your characters, the plot, and the sizzle between
Savannah and Leiandros. There was nothing I didn't like
about 'The Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum'. It was such a
"feel-good-book" and most certainly one to be re-read.
I now have you listed in my palm on the must have authors
and am looking forward to your next ones.
Thank you for an evening of pleasure.” ~ KAY in the
USA
“So at
2 am
this morning I was crying happily and declaring to a sleepy Eric
and Hunter and Punkin (who was sleeping on my collar bone!) that
you were in deed the next Nora. :) Well done indeed.” ~
Ally in the
USA
“Lucy, I bought 'The Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum'
yesterday at Wal-Mart and read it today. Loved
it!!! When is your next book going to be
released? Soon, I hope. What an ultra alpha male is
Leiandros!! Yummy! Please make your next hero
another sexy alpha male. Ya gotta love ‘em. Great
book. Keep them coming.” ~ Polly in the
USA
“We have had the
pleasure to be introduced to ‘The Greek Tycoon’s Ultimatum.’ We,
in the
US
, have found a new passionate and wonderful author. My friends
and I thought Lynne Graham, Michelle Reid and Miranda Lee, were
the top Harlequin authors from the
UK
. Wrong! Your
publication toppled the old contenders. There is a new
lady on the block. Why haven't we seen your Harlequins in
the
U.S.
before? How do we go about purchasing all of your
past/future publications were released in the
UK
? We were told by the bookstores, it takes a year after
the
UK
release before it is released in the
US
. This is not acceptable to us.” ~ Renee and friends in
the
USA
“I just finished'The Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum'
and am so very impressed with the quality of your writing. The
scene where
Savannah
(don't you just love that name?) meets her former in laws again
is so filled with tension my knuckle were white. WTG!” ~
Kathie in the
USA
“I
so loved it. It was
so good. I loved the
characters and I really liked Leiandros.” ~
Myra
in the
USA
“Lucy!
I just finished reading ‘The Greek Tycoon's Ulitmatum,’ and
boy was I impressed. I was so impressed buy your flair
with words. I was caught up from the very beginning.
What an interesting and complex backstory that played
beautifully into the romance between Leiandros and
Savannah
.” ~ Amy D. in the
USA
“Anyway,
I sat down and picked up your book and couldn't put it down
until I finished. It absolutely let me get lost in another
world for a few hours of relaxing reading enjoyment. When
I started reading romances I started with the Presents line, but
until Lori recommended your book I hadn't pick one up in
years. I guess I will start back up again :)'The Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum'
was
wonderful and I'm looking anxiously
for your next book!” ~ Lois in the
USA
“WOW!!
Lucy Monroe is a true writer. She brings her story 'The Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum'
to life with the ease
of a seasoned author. You can't help but love Savannah
Kiriakis and Leiandros Kiriakis as you watch their journey to
love. The characters are completely believable and as you
get to know them you expect certain behaviors and Lucy delivers
them. A wonderful read that will not let you put it down,
and leave you wanting her next book. If you have not
picked up ‘The Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum’ yet get out there
and do it now, you won't regret it.” ~ Michele in the
USA
“I
thoroughly enjoyed it, read it in one sitting.” ~ Debby in the
USA
“The
Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum - read it over the weekend - really
good book! Great plot/story and I liked the characters a
lot. I'm a sucker for the Alpha male, but what I really
love is a strong heroine. The heroine in 'The Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum'
was so
feisty and such a fighter/survivor that I just LOVED her.
A very good read.” ~ Tracy S in the
USA
“You're
in trouble!! (Just kidding.) Your book kept me up until
1 am
last night. I had read Ch. 1 over the weekend then I started
reading it in the tub last night about
9 pm
. I couldn't put it down so I ended up staying up to finish it.
I haven't done that with a book since Christina Dodds'
contemporary that came out months ago. So you're right up there
with her in my eyes. Not even Julia Quinn (I read Chapter 1 of
one her books yesterday) kept me up all night.
Congratulations. It's wonderful to see such a
deserving person have such success with her first book.” ~ Pam
in the
USA
“I
really, really liked it. Great job Lucy!!
And the "southern" phrases were right on
target. Especially
the one where she wanted to hit him with a "brick bat"
... LOL ... that ones a classic southern phrase.” ~ Melissa in
the
USA
“I
picked up'The Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum' on Sunday at my local Wal-Mart - I took their
last copy! I finished it last night and I have to say that
I really enjoyed it. Good Job and thanks!” ~ Lorri-Lynn
in the
USA
“Lucy
- I read'The Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum' Sunday and it was wonderful. The characters
came to life and I couldn't put the book down. I loved
reading
Savannah
and
Leiandros' story. You have an amazing way with words and
the images you painted transported me.” ~ Millie in North
America
“Lucy,
I just finished “The Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum.”
And, I have a question... when does your next novel come out and
what's the name? I can't wait. And, it’s
hard to believe this is your first book. The skill you
write with is so mature it’s just hard to
believe. I'm definitely a fan. Congratulations,
and write fast - your reading public is going to demand it.” ~
Lavada in the
USA
“I
bought 'The Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum' myself on Tuesday and finished it the same night. It
was the first Presents I'd read in at least five years. I
thought it was terrific. Despite the fact that I don't tend to
like that type of alpha, you reeled me in and reeled me in but
good. Excellent job! Your star is rising. Congrats!”
~ Jeanne in the
USA
“Lucy
- I joined your launch party for a brief time on the 1st and it
was great. I had just picked up your book that afternoon on my
lunch and read a few pages before the launch. Well I finished it
on the weekend and it was fantastic! A
few things that stood out to me as amazing was the when you
write about Eva and Nyssa...you write like a mother. You
can see and feel how much
Savannah
cares about her girls. My
two favorites scenes are: (without giving too much away for
those who haven't read it...and if you haven't, you're missing
out) are when Savannah stands up to Leiandros (I love that name!
Where did you think of that?) in one scene where I felt the
tension and the sparks just exploding. And of course the end.
All my expectations had been lived up to and I thoroughly
enjoyed it. Good job and I can't wait to read more.” ~ Tanya
in
North America
Sent to my husband: “Thank you for
inviting me to the book signing. I finished the book last
night. You can tell Lucy that she wrote a good book.
I was pleased with the heroine
Savannah
in her "Cinderella" story. She was a strong lady
who put her children first. And yes, 4 is a good number
for children, but she had it backwards with 3 girls. ;)
... Also, 20 really isn't too young...she just chose
wrong...Sunday I will be celebrating #18.
Good Luck to Lucy in her future books!!” ~ Steph in the
USA
“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
“Lucy, I can really,
truly say that of the Greek Tycoon books I have read, yours has
been my absolute favorite. I really thought that you wrote the
hero PERFECTLY. He was a perfect mix of attitude and sweetness.
I was getting annoyed for
Savannah
when he thought he knew everything about her past. But when he
REALLY found out what Dion had done, his reaction was soooooooo
perfect. I really
enjoyed this book. And your use of Greek was perfect.
Excellent job!” ~ Jenna in the
USA
“Leiandros Kiriakis wants justice,
Savannah
is looking for acceptance. When she is forced to return to
Greece
, both parties will get their fondest wish. Ms
Monroe portrays an ALPHA male in all of his dark glory. But she
doesn't stoop to writing him as a jerk. Her heroine,
Savannah
, is no pushover either. Her
writing reminds me of Diana Palmer's older books, in that it
packs an emotional wallop. She's made a wonderful start in a
hopefully long career as a writer.”

~ Lisa F in the

It was wonderful! I

loved getting to know
Savannah
and Leiandros!” ~ Sara in the
USA
“I, like so many
others, really liked'The Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum'. The love scenes were steamy and yummy
and the hero was so alpha -- my favorite!! I do love virgin
heroines so I hope you are planning to do those stories. The
previews of the upcoming stories look awesome!!! I hope we don't
have to wait all next year before they debut.
I'm happy to have found another keeper to read. Keep up
the great books!!!” ~ Julie in the
USA
“I just finished reading your book and OMG!!! The
temptation was sooo exhillarating. You are such a
tease! Your hero was Hot, Hot, Hot and so domineering, but
so compassionate, warm and caring too! The heroine had
just the right amount of stubborness and determination
too! I like that! Thanks for the wonderful
entertainment! I literally could not put it down once I
started reading it!” ~ Joni in the
USA
“Thanks Lucy for giving me a sleepless night <G> I
received'The Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum' yesterday afternoon and was up half the night
finishing it. You
wrote an alpha hero without falling into the trap of having to
make him a jerk first. And the heroine was not a pushover. I
just loved this book. Not
to apply any pressure, or anything <G>, but can't wait for
your next
one.” ~ Lois2 in the
USA

next." ~ Reader

"Lucy,
I picked up a copy of 'The Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum' and read it this weekend. It
was wonderful! I loved the way the heroine was considerate of others
even after everything that she herself went through--a really classy
lady!!! I think that I will have to order your next title from
M&B -- can't wait until 12/04 for it to be published in the
states." Lidia in
the
USA
"Her writing is some of
the best in the genre, in my opinion.
She delivers every time with real characters, passionate
relationships and satisfying endings. Fans of romance and
alpha heroes need to make room for Lucy Monroe's books on their
keeper shelves!" ~
Erin
in the
USA
"I
'loved' it!!! Stayed up until past 2:00 am reading and was
completely bleary-eyed this morning <g> but it was well worth
it. Fantastic debut! Wow but can you write
sensual. <g> Great job!! When does the next
one come out!!!??????" ~ Lee in the USA

turning as this one!" ~ Marjon

"Loved
the book Lucy!!! Sigh, now I have to wait for your next one!" ~
Helen in the UK
"I finished it! It lived up to expectations
in that it was un-put-down-able. Have no fears, you definitely
delivered in the intensity department. Stomach clenching roller
coaster intensity. I shall definitely look out for more of
yours." ~ Sue C in the UK
"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! 'The Greek Tycoon's Ultimatum' 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
