First Comes Marriage by Mary Balogh

3.0

Aside from the prologue, which was different and interesting, this book started off very awkwardly, and I had no like for the hero (who is NOT the character in the intro). The heroine seemed really blah and wishy washy as well. Even their fireworks felt artificial, and the other story lines did nothing. The story picked up once we got the marriage portion, and the couple became interesting suddenly. I almost felt like I read about two separate couples. Overall, the way the couple handles their marriage is far better than how they handled the weeks prior. I'll give the series another try in the hopes that the next sister's novel is more interesting right off the bat.
