Fate Captured (Clean romance): A Greek Tycoons novel Kindle Edition
Trish Swan is living her dream. She gave up chilly Boston for a sunny Greek island to write her novel. But she likes hot crime between the pages, not before her eyes. Yet, she doesn’t think twice about turning in a video she captures of a cop roughing up a man--but maybe she should because fate throws her a curve ball she least expects.
The mind-numbingly hot Greek from the bar isn't just a cocky bad boy in need of a little love. He's a shipping heir wrongfully accused.
By her.
Career in ruins, Markos’ life is a hot mess, all thanks to one sexy do-gooder who keeps popping up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Touching her becomes addictive, so maybe he could forgive her for doing her civic duty. But when she dredges up ghosts from his past, messing with his sanity, she gets a real taste of what he’s capable of.
With a man’s life on the line, Trish prepares for a head-on collision that will push Markos over the edge. What does she stand to lose anyway? Her heart?
He already owns it.

About the author

MM Jaye's mom claims that she spoke her first word at the age of six. Months. As a kid she would record fairy tales in her own voice, play them back and then re-record adjusting the pitch and tempo. Later, she used her voice to inspire young adults and teach them the art of translation. But there came a time when life took a turn for the worse, and her voice temporarily died out. That's when she turned to writing.
Fate Captured is the first book in her Greek Tycoons series, set on the Greek island where her husband proposed. MM Jaye lives in Athens, Greece, with her husband, daughter and Kindle.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2017I don't usually read romance, but make an exception for MM Jaye. Having read her previous Fate work, I expected more of the same. However, Fate Captured took an entirely different angle to Fate Awakened. For one thing, the story took place almost exclusively in Alonissos. For another, Trish, the heroine, was surprisingly distinctive from Monica. As many authors basically recycle the same characters and plots from book to book, this alone speaks volumes of MM Jaye's writing skills. It was the hospital scene which brought tears to my eyes, though, and which made the characters more than romantic caricatures - an MM Jaye key ability that goes a long way toward explaining my fascination with her works.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2016Although this book is the first installment in MM Jay's Greek Tycoons series, it is a standalone read. There is no cliffhanger and the ending is a perfect Happily Ever After. I loved the sexual tension between Trish and Markos. When Markos becomes the victim of a brutal attack, Trish saves his life and winds up having a private moment with him in hospital where they've been taken for treatment. It all seems hopeful between them, except Trish has a guilty secret. When Markos finds out, he gets understandably angry and their relations go south from there. Still, their love is strong and after each of them has resolved their own family issues, life binds them together once more. This book is a page-turner. I finished it in just a couple of sittings and can very well say I devoured it. The setting was fantastic, and I experienced life in a stunning Greek island with all my senses. The romance between the protagonists was intense, and very down to earth; it was all very human, very natural, the characters well fleshed out. A host of minor characters are introduced in this book, some of them mentioned repeatedly. I hope the next books in the series will introduce readers to their stories too. Personally, I can't wait! (I was offered a free copy of the book in return for an honest review)
- Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2016In her debut novel, author MM Jaye takes a double approach to romance writing by offering her story in two versions, clean and spicy. And lucky me—I got to read both!
Both books have all the right ingredients for a romance novel. First, of course, there’s the main character Trish. Trying to establish her own identity apart from her emotionally distant parents, she’s come to Greece to work on her dream of becoming a writer. I particularly enjoyed Trish’s rich and quirky internal life. With her secret belief that she’s both a bit psychic and a naturally adept detective, she doesn’t hesitate to step up when she thinks she can make a difference. Whether it’s secretly filming a crime in process, or intervening to fix the lives of those around her, Trish is a combination of klutz and heroine.
Of course, it’s what she doesn’t know that gets her in trouble, especially when it comes to the sexy man in the bar where she works. Marko, the estranged son of a shipping magnate, has been trying to live by his own code of honor. But that life has fallen apart, and he’s drinking to forget all the things that have gone wrong. Although the attraction between them is unmistakable, their first meeting leaves her infuriated and him wearing the drinks she’d been delivering. Or was that really their first meeting?
Fate Captured proceeds to tick off the elements of a classic romance—the meet cute, the initial mutual attraction, the explosion when each feels betrayed, the life and death decisions each of them faces. But author MM Jaye knows that it’s all about the journey, not the HEA at the end. She gives each of these elements a customized slant, and makes her characters work for their happy ending. Trish and Marko have to outgrow their preconceived notions about each other and their families. There are some cute touches along the way, such as the way the hero in Trish’s novel in progress begins to look suspiciously like a certain Greek. And that trademark heroine hair flick? Trish nails that one too.
[Quote:] Taking advantage of his momentary distraction, she threw out her hand, snatched his tumbler and brought that drink down on him as well.
His gaze dropped to his lap.
‘Now that was payback.’ She pivoted and tossed her long hair with such gusto, it had to have whipped his face. [End quote.]
There were a few places where the action seemed slightly disconnected, and where I had to backtrack to figure out who was doing what where. Plus there were a couple of places where skepticism had to be suspended. (I’m sure someone who had been working in law enforcement could enter a completely different career and in less than a month be closing multi-million dollar deals. Why not?) But overall the story was well-paced and the two main characters were three-dimensional and appealing.
And then there are those differences between the two books. True to her word, one of MM Jaye’s versions is a sweet old-fashioned tale perfect for anyone who wonders whatever became of those good old Mills & Boon or Harlequin romances. After I read the “clean” version, I braced myself for “spicy”. But I was pleasantly surprised to find myself liking it much better. The characters just made more sense. These are grownups with healthy libidos, but their romance is even sweeter, while still a far cry from even a whiff of porn.
So in our world of anonymous Kindles, my advice is to take that “spice”version with you the next time you want a nice light beach read…even if your beach isn’t any further away than your sofa. It’s a classic romance from a new writer to watch. I wouldn’t hesitate to give it four stars, and to look forward to MM Jaye’s next book in this new series.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2016A great idea to have two versions (clean, and spicy) of the same book. I chose the clean version, but must admit to flipping back and forth to see what I was missing, lol. A very good book, full of twists and turns. I really enjoyed the Greek setting too. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book which has introduced me to another new author to follow.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2016MM Jaye is a new to me author... The first few chapters of this book were slow moving but once I got into the story, I absolutely loved it. The characters are awesome. I started reading romances when I was 9 and back then, many of then were set in Greece and hold a special place in my memory. This one joins them.
