My first comment about this book has no effect on my rating and is not the author's fault...but I don't think the person who wrote the synopsis for the back cover and the title had actually read the book....The MARRIAGE was not was was arranged at all......OK, that said, this book was just ok. I didn't ever really love either main character and felt that Grace especially acted out of character at times. I felt like the "surprise" turn-about in character of one of the villains was not credible. And there were so many depressing things that happened in this book that it was really hard to enjoy. I want to be HAPPY when I finish a book, not depressed! This was not one of this author's better works.
