frenchpressbookworm's review against another edition
I may try it again later. It was slow and the way the characters talked didn’t seem natural just kinda awkward
izziede's review against another edition
3.0
This is a good story.
When I first read the blurb I wasn't too keen. I don't like cheating and I was worried he was going to be with Ella while also seeing the woman his father wants him to marry.
This doesn't happen, he even refuses to meet his father's choice and then he meets Ella.
He is a hard man, it works, he's been groomed for the role and he needs to be hardened to do it but of course this means he's hard on Ella too at times. Sometimes I cringed as he hurt her with his choices, he only ever has eyes for Ella.
Ella doesn't want to swop one life of being under control for another so she balks against Angelo's rules for her safety. Sometimes it was fair enough, other times I had the 'too stupid to live' feeling about her.
It's a good story. Rafe is an excellent side character, love to see if he's as wise with his own heart.
