Okay this book had a promising beginning. Towards the middle though I started getting annoyed at the hero and heroine. How sickly sweet is the hero? It was great that the author made the hero realize his feelings right away and not have him all wishy washy--but it was a bit too much. Also, the heroine was JUST TOO PERFECT--almost like a martyr. She did not have the looks but she was kind, loving, trust, loyal, etc etc. She was sooo foolish in regards of her "betrothal" and when she did learn the truth--did she do anything? NO! She took it like a ninny. I would have bashed his head in. She didn't even scream at him! She was a PUSH-OVER! Then her grandfather and the whole situation about her parents being so much in love..blah blah blah..it was an overworked plot-line. Also, the sisters seem cavalier about their attitude regarding their beatings..it was as if the author just added it in as a side note! I give it 3 stars for effort and the sheer number of words she managed to stretch.
