Although the book was enjoyable, it was not the best of Joan Hohl. The plot was too clich and lots of absurdity. Example, how can a father thrown his own daughter who he loved so much into a marriage just to save his own hide? But all in all, this book is still readable. The characters were strong, it also include secondary characters that was quite intriguing.

This is a good light read for summer. I enjoy this author because she actual has a plot and doesn't write in the typical romance style.
I enjoy most of Ms. Hohl books, but this one not as much. It's an older work, and well used concept.
Frisco chooses to make the sacrifice to save her father and her family's business by marrying the suitor who is intent on taking over the business. They are both attracted to each other, so the choice is not very hard. But dealing with their pride takes a lot of effort for both, and I found it tiring.
