annestefia's review against another edition
DNF @ 116 of 235 pgs
This is a matter of 'it's not you, it's me'...or maybe 'It's more me, and a little of you' kind of relationship. This is better than some of the HR books I normally DNF. Maybe it's because I'm very busy and there are many shows this month that I rather give my attention to. But it did kinda start off slightly bland and the way the heroine trapped the hero is debased. I never did like marriages by compromise.

Even though this book wasn't particularly dramatic or sad, it managed to pack a bit emotional punch and made me cry several times.
I have mixed feelings about Viola. On one hand, I love how much she stands out from other FMCs in the genre. She's exceptionally beautiful and she knows it. She's the pursuer in the romance. She doesn't have a tragic past or any deep-seated insecurities, only a few rather mundane and to-be-expected troubles in an otherwise happy and privileged life. On the other hand, I'm not a fan of how relentlessly she pursues someone who has plainly stated they are not interested in her, and how insistent she is that her "inklings" are always right. And of course there's the fact thatshe trapped him into marriage , which is addressed but in my opinion not enough.
Nevertheless, I had a good time. It was a cute story that kept me interested. I like the "big gruff man x small dainty woman" thing.
