My enjoyment of romance is based on if I'm rooting for the couple and I have to say with this one I was not. Both the main characters are assholes at best and truly terrible people at worst. So I guess they deserved eachother, but I didn't think either of them deserves a happy ending.
It gets 2 stars mostly because the actual writing was good. This was my first Kleypas book, and I'll probably give her another go based on writing.
