Love by Design (The Meraki Series Book 2) by Effie Kammenou – Review by Rosanna Ingram

Love by Design by Effie Kammenou
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love by Design is the second book in the series…and I was definitely looking forward to it after reading the first book.

Mia (who is the sister of Kally, the main character of Love is What You Bake of It) has just landed her dream job for the magazine Opul. Opul is owned by the very handsome Nicholas and his sister Penelope. While Mia and Nicholas have immediate chemistry, they also have an immediate (and unexplainable at the time) animosity towards each other. They seem to push each other’s buttons whenever they are in the same room. When they are sent to Greece on assignment for the magazine, sparks fly…and not always the good ones!

I enjoyed both Mia and Nicholas’ characters. Mia is the type of girl to wear her heart on her sleeve while Nicholas is the type to protect his heart at all costs. They are both keeping secrets that define the way they are acting and watching the characters accept and overcome their own obstacles made for a wonderful story. There are moments that made me tear up, moments that made me want to knock some sense into them, and some moments that made me swoon.

Once again, Effie Kammenou has written a book that is easy to read and the book seems like such a quick read because you don’t want to put it down. The Andarakis family, like in the previous book, plays a big part in the story. I just love all of them. The mystery surrounding their family just continues to weave it’s way through the story which intrigues me. I am definitely looking forward to the next book!
