3.0

I’m very disappointed by the romance in this book and how it ended. The premise was interesting and I was getting into it, putting up with the romance because I knew it wouldn’t last. Ha.

At the end, it’s just another story of a woman giving up on her dreams to come be with a man who she is actually afraid of and who goes against all of her ideals. Giving up on never getting married and having a kid.
