The second half was better than the first half, but this book was still my least favorite Julie Garwood book. Normally, I love her work, but too many things in this book drove me nuts. Eleanor was wholly unnecessary and although Garwood heroine's are always beautiful/smart/innocent/naive/etc., this one was just a little too much for me; they're always somewhat clueless and kind of head-in-the-clouds, but Mary Rose was more than I could handle. ...more

Didn't really enjoy the romance. There was no tension that worked for me. All the obstacles the hero and heroine faced were off. Plus I didn't like the heroine as much as I'd have preferred. She had nothing going for her really. I did love reading about the relationship she had with her brothers. There were some moments that were touching in that respect. ...more

I had heard a lot about this book from the reviews that I read on line. But I have to say it was only okay. I had a hard time with the writing style and felt that there was a lot of the story that was slow. I thought that the characters were good, but Garwood went too far with the innocence of the character Mary Rose. She was almost silly. I can only give this book 3 out of 5 stars.
