This was a book I really enjoyed. Marcus is a selfish, conceited, unthoughtful man in the beginning who has been trapped into an arranged marriage by his parents. On the opposite end we have Lydia who actually has feelings for Marcus from the beginning. She's very thoughtful and dedicates six years to learn everything she can to make him the best wife possible. She is a very strong dedicated women and is almost the complete opposite of Marcus but after six years of neglect from her him she changes her mind about their marriage agreement. She finally approaches Marcus with the desire to end their engagement. Marcus then being the conceited man that he is takes interest in poor Lydia and puts into motion a plan to win her back. Their relationship starts out rough beginning at their engagement party. Six years later Marcus gets a glimpse of the women Lydia has become and decides that he has to have her and she finds out that after all the mistreatment she still has feelings for Marcus as he begins to court her.The author did a good job with the originality of the story and keeps a good pace going making for an enjoyable read with no boring parts keeping my interest. This book didn't elicit any real emotions in me except sympathy for Lydia hence the 3 star rating.I would say  I came very close to giving this book a 4 star rating but it was just average for me. Historical romance and erotica fans will enjoy reading this book and should give it a try. I would recommend it for someone looking for a short, sweet historical romance that's on the hot side.
