I had a lot of problems with this.  The dialogue was just unnatural. Normal people - especially working people in the West - use contractions when they speak. Also, the "info dumps" in the dialogue was absurd. Everyone gave long winded speeches that told their every feeling and thought. I'm all for reducing the ridiculous misunderstandings present in so many romance novels, but this was just ridiculous. No one talks like that.  SHOW don't tell.The heroine was also TSTL and the hero was just ridiculously harsh.  I can't believe she didn't tell him to take his proposal and shove it.  I'd have loved to have seen him try to win her back, but 'no' she never even considered breaking off the engagement.  Seriously?  Was she insane?To be fair this final criticism is more a matter of taste than an issue with the writing. This was not erotic. That's why I read these novels.  There was no sex scene, just a short 'he was glad he waited for marriage' line at the very end.  Very dissapointing.
