About this ebook
Rumors swirled around Jessica Stanton. That the young widow had only married her husband to get her hands on the older man’s fortune. That she’s as cunning as she is beautiful. But that doesn’t stop Greek billionaire Nikolas Constantinos from wanting her the moment he lays eyes on her. Despite the adversarial business deal that brought them together. Despite her scandalous past. Because as it turns out, there’s only one thing the powerful tycoon can’t control: his passion for the woman who may be his undoing.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Looking for a sexy contemporary romance? This novel is a perfect add to your list.Girl meets boy on his business turf and neither wish to negotiate. To be more specific, Jessica Stanton, a wealthy and beautiful American widow living in London, and Nikolas Constantinos, a billionaire and handsome Greek playboy meet in his London office and more than business sparks are glittering.For all readers who love novels by Elizabeth Susan Phillips and Danielle Steel, don't miss this title by Linda Howard. I noticed while writing this review that Danielle Steel's new novel anticipated with a November 17, 2020, release date will also be titled, "All That Glitters." Just remember that sometimes even with identical titles in the same genre, there will be a few similarities but fascinating differences and each tempts the reader to luxuriate in excitement and enchantment created by the authors' creativity.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5When Jessica Stanton refuses to vote on her stock options the way Greek billionaire and bully Nikolas Constantinos wishes, he decides to retaliate, until he meets her. The press bestowed the sobriquet “Black Widow” on Jessica because she married a man old enough to be her grandfather, a man who subsequently died and made her very rich. But Jessica doesn’t want wealth; she wants love, which she believes she’s found in Nikolas. Although why she thinks this, will be a mystery to readers since he all but rapes her time and again. As he hounds her and she repels him, readers will see a textbook case of verbal and physical abuse in a tale that epitomizes the worst of late twentieth-century romance. Alas, even Howard’s facile writing can’t save this story about a cruel man, a purportedly strong but weepy doormat heroine, and a ludicrous plot set in glamorous London and on a Greek island. Although this may be Howard’s worst book, libraries may want it to round out their popular Howard collection as she retains her best-seller status as queen of romantic suspense with such worthy titles as Shadow Woman (2013). — Pat Henshaw
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Wealthy widow Jessica Stanton has some shares that Nikolas Constantinos wants. And after he meets her, he wants her too. And he's willing to do whatever's necessary to have her, including marry her.Definitely dated - this one hails from an era when manly men bullied the subject of their affections, and apparently everyone was quite okay with that.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Early Linda Howard. Bullying coercive Hero, [punishing kisses, 'I can make you want me!'] limp watering pot heroine, she cries, sobs, and weeps at every juncture. Howard's "Tears of the Renegade" has the same plotline with a stronger heroine and keener tension. Sara Craven's "Strange Adventure" has similar plotline with more angst. [Strangely both Glitters and Adventure have Greek heroes, heroine injured and trapped on the seashore in the fifth act.]
