*I won a copy of this book through Goodreads FirstReads Giveaways.*
This book would have earned a solid four stars (or more) from me as marriage of convenience/forced marriage is one of my favorite tropes (and it features a beta hero!), but it also contained one of my least favorite tropes: The Big Misunderstanding (or in this case several misunderstandings) coupled with a complete lack of communication between the h/H.
That being said, I found this book to be a lovely way to pass the afternoon. The author's writing flowed beautifully without the prose becoming to florid or purple, and I found--despite a rather slow start--that I was flying through the book at a fast pace.
