”…Ms. Silk’s uplifting stories pull you in and make you fall in love…” Elizabeth Lennox, USA Today Bestselling Romance Author
I received an advance copy of this book, and what an amazing opportunity that was granted to me by our super talented author Gloria Silk whose two previous books are still fresh in my romantic mind!
She deserves an honest review for this latest book From Geek to Greek Billionaire which is just as phenomenal as her other books!
A gripping story about young love torn by doubts, immaturity and insecurities — they were abruptly separated from their first romantic meeting, until fate played a great surprise —- meeting each other after almost a decade, both Olivia and Alexander experienced angst with twists and turns, their immature indecisions destroying first love that had beautifully blossomed inexplicably under magical circumstances!!!
I love the way the storyline weaves into an interracial romantic connection between an equally magnificent portrayal of beauteous and talented Olivia Moore, an American and Alexander Anderson whose joint family heritage has led them to a more wonderful relationship with the family, adoptive parents of Alexander whose biological parents are from Greece.
Following a complicated young lovers’ story like Olivia’s and Alexander’s strengthens my faith in fate and destiny! When there is true love, forgiveness and redemption are easier to refresh a fully sustained trust and confidence with the one person whom you truly meant to keep in your life!
With a magnificent and loveable romantic twist like a Cinderella fairytale Olivia has finally made a brilliant decision in keeping her Prince deeply close in her heart, forever—in following an epic love story like theirs, an avid romantic like me only has this to say “thanks for Gloria Silk’s brilliantly creative mind, we all enjoy to fantasize our own love story, living happily ever is my kind of New Year’s romantic mood!

From Geek to Greek Billionaire– Gloria Silk – Spoiler Alert!!! I really wanted to like this one. Olivia, our heroine, was great UNTIL she went crawling after the loser who screwed up WAYYYYYYY too many times. When the story starts out, Olivia and Alex are both really young. He chickens out and runs away without so much as an apology, but he’s 20 and has baggage from losing his mom so young. I was willing to forgive. BUT HE KEEPS RUNNING AWAY AND LYING!!!!!!!!!!! To get back in her life he lies about needing her help to woo another woman. It annoyed me, but I was willing to forgive the lie as long as he was completely honest about everything else. Alex takes advantage of Olivia’s generous nature and love for him over and over and over. No matter how cute, smart, rich, kind, philanthropic, or how great your family is, it doesn’t make up for being a SPINELESS LIAR WITHOUT REMORSE OR ANY ATTEMPT TO CHANGE PATTERN!!!!!!! So clearly, I have strong feelings. Now I think if this story was revised, I would love it. I love Alex’s family dynamics. I love Olivia. I love Maria and Gemma (Olivia’s besties). I love that Alex helps reno the beach house. I love Aunt Jenny’s matchmaking. If she changed these things, I would love it. 1) Alex just makes too many mistakes of the same type. He never shows he has reformed. He doesn’t face his past to deal with old trauma; Olivia learns about his past and doesn’t make him prove he is going to be a better man. He either needs to make less mistakes or prove somehow that he has changed his pattern. 2)Alex sneaking in while she is naked, vulnerable, and just wanting a massage to release all the stress he caused was creepy as crap! That needs to go because its sexual assault. Period. And you can fight me on that if you want, but that is the moment where I was unwilling to forgive Alex. If she had been sitting fully clothed drinking a mimosa on the patio and he snuck up on her, I would have let it pass. He has no right to put his hands on her after what he did. 3) He was taking her clothes off in a hallway in a hotel. Creepy! Not romantic! Not respectful! 4)She should not go after him. He hasn’t changed. She deserves to be SURE BEYOND ALL DOUBT that the man she pledges her heart to isn’t going to run off at the first sign of trouble. She deserves better than an unreformed coward. Honestly, I wish the author would fix it, because I really wanted to root for Olivia.
Olivia and Alexander were each other’s firsts, but when Alex is told Olivia is going to the upcoming gala with another, he flees to Greece. Now, it’s been about ten years and they’re reunited. Will they pick up where they left off or will their journey to love be a bumpy road? This is an emotional book in parts, but it tells a beautiful love story. Grab your copy and see what happens.
I received a complimentary copy of this book and this is my voluntary and honest review.
