This story is like one of those Russian Nesting Dolls. Every time you open one story, there’s another inside. And each story evokes a different range of emotions. There are parental issues, issues about purpose, issues about previous significant others, touches on various forms of abuse and control. Plus, amongst all of this is an amazing romance. The heroine has so much chutzpah, she is just a sheer joy to read. And while the hero initially comes off as an arrogant prick, the reasons behind his behaviors make them understandable, if not acceptable. Even if you don’t like his methods, you understand his purpose. The fact that this is an interracial relationship was very smoothly merged into this story. The other big divide, old money versus new money, was much more at the forefront. It is the first, and by far the largest hurdle, the couple has to overcome. And at the end of it all, this couple deserves their happily ever after. This may not seem like it or start out like it, but this was a really heartwarming story. The bad people get bad at the end. The good people get good at the end. All is right with the world. Just one caveat: this is not a story to read before bed. There is no good place to put it down and go to bed. I tried. But the story was worth it.I received this book via NetGalley from Entangled Publishing in exchange for a fair and honest review.
