A little heavy handed with the melodrama of two adults who refuse to tell one other important information for really no discernible reason, but not in a fashion atypical of the genre. There were noticeable typos in the digital copy I read, which I've noticed before with Kleypas books.

This was great but it took them waaay to long to tell each other the truth and that really annoyed me.
I was (and still am and will be for a very long time probably) AMAZED at how McKenna could continue loving Aline even though he truly thought she never loved him and was only using him. Props to Aline for doing everything she could to keep McKenna from being hurt but also GIRL think about yourself a little come on!!
I thought the Livia and Mr Shaw storyline was cute and it felt nice to read when Aline and McKenna’s story was too stressful.
