Helpful Score: 6

I'll admit....I hated it at first. For the first 140 pages, the characters are flat, one-dimensional, inconsistent and just not believable. Then there was an incredible act of kindness and generosity on the part of the hero and it turned the whole book around for me. And it just got better from there. It does have the typical Gist edgy-ness...the heroine gets drunk at a party when she doesn't know the punch is spiked, child abuse figures heavily in the story line, and there is a detailed description of the newlyweds undressing on their wedding night (but it stops when the sheets are pulled back). A Bride Most Begrudging is still my favorite by this author, but this will now rank a very close second. So if you don't like the beginning, just stick with it. It is sooooooo worth it!
