A Billionaire Romance That Offers More

Only in Istanbul delivers emotional tension, witty banter, magnetic chemistry, humor, surprises, and unforgettable and exotic settings. This is a story about family secrets, a love she shouldn’t want, a weekend that rewrites fate, and the unexpected and romantic ways it brings two creative souls together.

On the surface, it’s a steamy, funny, adventurous romance. But at its heart, it’s a happy twist on Romeo and Juliet — a love story about what happens when passion and art collide. It’s about the sacrifices we make to follow a creative path, and how that path can lead us to love, our truest selves, and surprises along the way… even for me, as I wrote it.

Reviews

“I was captivated from the beginning!! Only in Istanbul isn’t just a love story — it’s about family baggage, finding your voice, and finally letting someone in. Raven is such a relatable character — messy, stubborn, funny, and so real. I found myself rooting for her the whole way through.” – Jessy

“Great romance novel that is perfect for when sitting around the pool or on the beach! The book has a little bit a spice, mystery and tons of chemistry!”

I loved Dear Mexico, I Love You. Beautifully written, you felt the chemistry between the characters, and the descriptions of the places transported you to Mexico. Can’t wait for the next book.

I totally enjoyed Marika Reinke’s second novel, “One Dance in Greece”. As a traveler myself I appreciate that her novels include travel and athletic prowess and romance… I like the unpredictability and intrigue of a developing romance. One is never certain until the endpoint. I find that this second novel has a more complex story than the first novel and I am greatly looking forward to her next creation.

Romance novels are not my usual read, but I absolutely loved this book. The chemistry between River and Sedona is electric. All of the places in Mexico were described so beautifully that it felt like I was there. A must for your reading list!
