3.5 starsReview to come...hopefully.
I love a contrived marriage plot to pieces but this book, while holding out occasional hope for being delicious fun, was boringly by the numbers even for a style of book I like to read because it's formulaic.
Completely underwhelmed by this book. The set up was unbelievable and there was no tension or build up to the romance. Not enough conlict, boring plot. Only read the first third of the book and skimmed the rest. I love this author but did not enjoy this one at all.
