I rolled my eyes through this whole book. I'm not even sure if I can call it a book, it was so bad. Let me save you the pain of reading this and just tell you what you can figure out for yourself less than a quarter of the way in : his sister is pregnant. What a surprise! Oh no wait, it wasn't. So he needs to find a bride really fast because he and the new wifey will take sister's baby. Except... He doesn't tell her. Actually, he doesn't tell anyone.. Including the reader. That's right, it's 80% through this novel when the reader is supposed to learn THE SECRET. Only any astute reader has already gotten it for 60% of the novel.
So let's detail the kind of man Richard is. He's forced marriage to a woman he's known for less than two weeks, refuses to consummate (which by the way she could get the marriage annulled, stupid) because he can't have his wife pregnant at the same time as the sister, and then doesn't tell her, just leaves her flailing around thinking she's doing something wrong. Then this goes further into utter garbage territory because she's decided (in two weeks) that she loves this picture of idiodicy, and proceeds to forgive him. No no, it's cool. I'll just take that baby your sister doesn't want to give up, raise it as my own because you trapped me until this plot on purpose, but I still love you.
This book is simply vile, and so is Richard.

As fun as the rest of the series, but I hate Richard a little bit for his lying and reasons behind it, he’s an idiot.

I hate Richard and I hate this story. I was really looking forward to Iris’s story, ‘cause I thought she was an interesting character in the previous books with how witty and sarcastic she was portrayed but Quinn really did her wrong in this book. If I had read this as an actual physical book I would’ve dnf-ed it.

Thing I hate most of all is how Richard practically forced himself on her all so that she’d have to marry him and her ending up getting all the blame for it and this was all just glossed over and fixed with some stupid ass i love you and a some spice. ugh.
