Story4.5 out of 5 stars 458
When souls are tied, it's never goodbye. A boy I was that summer evening I met you, pulling your belongings out of the truck and into your new home. I knew it was love then. A whole man I was the day that you met me at the altar and agreed to love me until death do us part. A shell of a man I've become since it did, unable to move on, move forward, or progress in any way until I discovered that not even death was permanent enough to keep us apart. A better man I'm destined to be, knowing that, at some capacity, you're still with me. Our love is one that never dies.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 179
I thought I was sorted on the life front. I was a heart surgeon with a loving partner and two gorgeous little girls. Except my husband’s version of "loving" is lying, cheating, and sleeping his way around London. Which means I definitely deserve a refund. Unfortunately, moving on isn’t that simple. Just because I know how to operate on a heart doesn’t mean I know how to fix my broken one. Plus, I lost the receipt for him years ago, so I’m definitely getting shortchanged. But now that I’m single, am I ready to mingle?

I used to be a sensible, responsible good girl who kept her nose buried in textbooks and worked hard to make her father’s dreams come true. Then Keane happened. He was a crude, rude, ruthless Southie bully who only cared about his hockey career and pucking his way through a string of girls. I hated him and I thought he hated me, but then one unexpected spring break kiss changed everything.

After leaving the city life behind to escape my loveless marriage, I moved to small-town Havenbarrow for a fresh start. What I didn’t expect was to find myself drawn to the town’s black sheep. They called him troubled, cold, a man with a dark past. What everyone seemed to miss about Jax was the splashes of light in his eyes, the random acts of kindness he performed when no one was watching, and the way he made me smile and laugh.

Like my brother, who thinks he’s going to ride off into the sunset with the woman of his dreams in a haze of glitter on unicorns.

Confession: I, Dandelion “Dani” Wright, am 26 years old and have yet to be deflowered. My excuse? I was too busy running my family’s flower shop and winning floral-design competitions. Suddenly that whole pesky virginity thing becomes a big deal when Jacob West walks back into my life. He’s the boy I once loved - the boy who once humiliated me when he stood me up for prom. This Jacob is no boy though: he’s all man now - confident, charming, and so sexy my metaphorical blossoms are getting scorched.

An American girl finds her prince in this "fun and dishy" (People) royal romance inspired by Prince William and Kate Middleton. American Bex Porter was never one for fairy tales. Her twin sister Lacey was always the romantic, the one who daydreamed of being a princess. But it's adventure-seeking Bex who goes to Oxford and meets dreamy Nick across the hall - and Bex who finds herself accidentally in love with the heir to the British throne. Nick is wonderful, but he comes with unimaginable baggage.

Loved the characters
I love this story and it's not because I am Greek. The story in Narrated in English but the way each character is described is extremely vivid. We get to know them by their behaviors and dialogue and the story invites us into their psychic in a very unsuspected way. It's very funny but through the humor the writer addresses some very serious issues like, prejudice, rape, class status, adolescence and many others. I was a resident of that village and I saw the whole story as a film unfold in my imagination.
Totally recommend it for all ages.

I very much liked it!
Kiki Denis writes with humor, sometimes poignant, probing deeply social serious issues of the past and present that existed and exist in Greece but also everywhere. I really liked it and I thought it was very genuine.

The Last Day of Paradise
I really enjoyed reading this book which is about a teenage girl growing up in rural Greece. It is sweet and funny and sad at the same time as it perfectly showcases the coming of age in a dysfunctional family in a small town in a most humorous way. I am certain that many can identify with the family dynamics portrayed in this book . A very entertaining read!

THE LAST DAY OF PARADISE by Kiki
Denis is a family story told in a humorous, way entertaining and fresh way. I couldn’t stop listening to it! From ancient to modern era, this is a hilarious, honest, unpretentious tale of youth, adolescence and parental mistakes.
The narration is also very good! Zoe Mylonas (the narrator) knows how and when to use an accent (and a real one), understands and feels the complexity of each character and her clever/clear voice and acting skills add a special spice and zest to the story! I highly recommend listening to this book. Such a great treat!
