THE GREEK RULE: PASSION-DANCE Alexandros joined the big circle two songs later. With hands linked to shoulders, they let the music guide them in the whirlwind of moving people. The band picked up the tempo, persuading the participants to kick fiercely as the ritual progressed. One by one, dancers conceded to the fast pace, leaving Alexandros, Costa, cousin Gianni, and cousin Spiro to prove they could outlast the musicians. It was exhilarating to watch the men move in perfect synchrony. Swift, sure feet pounding, arms locked in wartime severity, and bodies bending at the waist to claim the dance floor as theirs. The band challenged the dancers by quickening the beat, the dancers responded by moving faster, adding more intricate steps. The spectators held their breaths, clapping in unison, faster, stronger, quicker, louder… it kept building to the climactic end when the four men jumped through the air, landing on their knees at the edge of the dance floor.t

The Greek Rule was the first book I had read by fantastic author Aleka Nakis, and I have since devoured Eyes of the Dead, and from here on out, will read ANYTHING with her name attached to it! Her characters are always real with sizzling connections- but the absolute best thing about her books is that she paints the setting in the readers mind to such perfection, you really feel like you've gone on a vacation.Athena has worked hard building a name for herself under her boss’ corporation and she is ready to strike out on her own. It’s been her dream to build her own resort, and she has a fabulous location all picked out. The only problem is she has a little competition in her bid for the property. Okay, she has BIG competition, Alexandros Strintzaris, a well-known bachelor and business tycoon. He’s successful, he’s deliciously handsome, and he’s Athena’s one dating no-no: he’s Greek. But between an unexpected meeting at a charity ball and a wedding that has the two keeping close company; Athena is realizing she’s in danger of losing a lot more than her resort property…The Greek Rule is a beautiful story that will sweep you away with superb imagery of exotic locales, fantastic characters, and a love story that will warm you all the way to your toes. Athena is a beautiful, intelligent businesswoman, and Alexandros is the perfect man to break down Athena’s stereotypes of the Greek playboy. The attraction between Alexandros and Athena is nothing short of electric, and you will love the interaction between the two. In The Greek Rule, Aleka Nakis infuses a rich cultural influence with a lush setting that’ll have you packing your bags for Santorini!-Mandy Rogues and RomanceHeat Rating: *3- Cupid's Ardor ArrowViolence Rating: *1- Suction-Cup Arrow
