I assumed it was going to be some mediocre, flat book on an arranged marriage but no, it had not one but two climaxes! Two surprises, even though one was predictable. And it also had some serious grovel by the Hero, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The book managed to draw out my rage against some of the characters in this book. I loved both MCs, they fit each other perfectly. ...more
I must say I really enjoyed this book. It's my first with the author and I liked the flow, the writing, and how it made me feel. I live for the angst I must say I really enjoyed this book. It's my first with the author and I liked the flow, the writing, and how it made me feel. I live for the angst and this was what this book was all about, the secret yearning between the main characters - despite their biting remarks towards each other. So many misconceptions.

It's grossed me out whenever I chanced upon Heroes that are much, much older than the heroine. Not only did this Hero way older than the 18-year-old heroine, he liked her since she was a wee little girl (merely 8 years old ... pedophile much?). On top of that, he was enamored with her because he had been in love with the girl's mother. How utterly disgusting was that!!! I simply could not like this Hero. From the above facts itself, I couldn't capture the chemistry. It's too far off. So this was an unfinished read for me. ...more
