I am not sure what everyone else read but this was not all that great. It had a good synopsis and had potential it just did not hit the mark. They knew each other 2 days and the book was 70% through. It was then told to you that a week passed and all of a sudden they are getting remarried and having their first kiss at 74%. They then go away for a week where the hero is distant and cold outside of the bedroom and they get in a fight and he leaves...for 7 weeks!!!! She finds out she is pregnant during this time and calls him. Only after an earthquake does the hero go to find the heroine. He says he loves her but was unsure of how to go about showing it because he was taught to hide his emotions by his dad. His dad was sweet and showed how he was feeling so I am not sure why the king would advise his children to hide their feelings away. I cannot see them in love. I mean, 2 days where they spent every second trying to get out of their marriage with her thinking he was in love with Jules and then a week where we do not read any interaction but are told that he was supportive of her during this time. This is all followed by a week of distance by the hero who treated her like a leper and then 7 weeks of nothing but they love each other?? I cannot see it, AT ALL!!! He called her a grease monkey and continued to tell her she needed to act like Jules even on their honeymoon. He wanted to change her all the way up until the day he went back to her. He NEVER excepted her how she was the entire time they were together so I cannot even see how I am supposed to think he even liked her let alone loved her. I did like how she retaliated in the pond for his comments about how Jules would have handle the village situation better. It was funny and a well deserved thing to do to the hero!!! I did not like him AT ALL but I did like the heroine. She was spunky and could have done SO MUCH BETTER than the hero. I would not wish him on any of the females in this book. They all deserve to be who they are and not belittled for being true to themselves!!!
