4.75/5

* Summary:  Graciella, a young wealthy woman, tries to cause scandal after scandal to avoid an unwanted marriage, meanwhile Vicente, hiding his impoverished past and trying to earn a better future, is tasked with keeping her in line.

* Stats: HR, M/F, open door, stands alone.

* Notes: I really loved this - I think I’d just have wanted it longer.  The FMC is bright, determined and bold without being either NLOG or quirky, and the MMC is just lovely and kind.  They’re funny and sweet, and I liked seeing the FMC come into her own.  Very enjoyable and highly recommended.
