Nope.
Nope nope nope. Abusive, manipulative behavior ≠ love. I was so disappointed because I started out really enjoying these characters but it devolved quickly. The height of suspense of this book hangs on stalking, controlling behavior in the name of “love,” degrading the female lead for not thinking clearly when aroused, and then sickly sweetness afterward. Not Quinn’s best work.

I usually like Julia Quinn for a light read with humor and some witty dialogue. This book had none of that. It was terrible and not up to her normal standards.

** don’t mind me reviewing my ratings from 1 year ago ****
Robert & Victoria were meant to be but the stacks were against them from the beginning.
Miscommunication & jumping to conclusions made them lose 7 years of happiness.
They both have their flaws and qualities and that’s what makes them meant to be!
It’s not normally what Julia Quinn writes but I absolutely devoured it. She portrayed how 7 years of resentment doesn’t go away in just a week or a month and we really felt Victoria’s resentment. I loved this book

Me gustan mucho los libros de esta autora pero este como que no mucho, no me agradó que nunca respetará lo que ella quería, la tenía que raptar porque se volvió a enamorar de ella, según él.
No culpo al papá de intentar separarlos porque ella tenía 17 y el 24, pero creo que el amarrarla de la cama no era lo mejor, pero wueno, pasan 7 años y se vuelven a ver.
Le daría un 2.5 pero bueno, para pasar el rato.
