This entire series is such a whirlwind. I hated the book before this one, was indifferent to the first book, but adored the second and third books. This one? I loved it much more than the one before it, but The Unwanted Marriage is still a favorite, as well as the Temporary Wife. For the most part, all the men in these series seem to be from the same cookie cutter mold, and while I loved their story, it was odd seeing the male perspective being mostly, entirely, sexual. There was a plot, but not a lot of it for me to enjoy it as much. There were also various chapters that ended at weird places. Overall? Not my favorite, but not my least favorite.
