– I truly struggled with scoring these two titles. They were so deliciously bad that I teetered back and forth between a 1 and the Keeper Shelf. In reading thousands of romances over the years, I’ve never read such laughable prose with the exception of The Italian’s Rags-to-Riches Wifeby Julia James. Both are Harlequin titles and the overuse of exclamation points just makes my internal editor shriek in pain. There are over 100 of the little beasties just waiting to pop out and steal your breath....more
Horrible writing. Every page had at least two or three exclamation marks. The characters must ALL be very excitable/shocked/angry.
I also found the story to have way too many holes. One minute she hates him and the next she loves him because she knows he's 'suffering' internally. And then the next minute she hates him again (when he has done nothing wrong).
Grace as a character is so annoying. I want to smack her. I know she is supposed to be young and all raised in the country so doesn't know th...more

I enjoyed reading my first book by this author. I do however think they could have came together a little sooner. They off and on liked each other but never agreed to get along till the last 30 pages and then it all came together at once. So part of me felt like it took forever then when it happened I felt it was rushed.lol. I would like to find out more about this family though so I will read the next one and one before it.

Society rules strike again! This time snagging Lucian St. Claire. There was just something about Grace Hetherington that made him forget caution landing him in a betrothal with her, one she most deifnitely does not want! Grace only agrees to be his convenient wife because she figures if she can put the wedding off long enough, everyone will know that nothing happened.

THe ending felt extremely rushed. I prefer more balanced stories.

The ending seemed rushed as the main plot was overshadowed by the subplot.
