I'm going to give a detailed review since there was nothing that helped me when I considered buying this book. In the end it was less than a dollar so I bought it but I probably wouldn't have if I'd know a few things. Basically the h and H find themselves naked on a beach in Mexico at the start of the story. We discover, after a few chapters, that these two after a drunken spree lasting a few days, these two have gotten married. Their first thoughts are to annul the marriage but it soon appears that the h will lose her share of her grandfather's ranch due to her reckless behaviour. As the story develops we learn that the main characters had know each other in college but hadn't seen each other for 10 years. The H returns with the h to the ranch to help her win her grandfather over and then he'll leave after 4 weeks.+++Spoilers+++This is the third book I've read this week where the h is constantly on the backfoot. She was besotted with the H in college and he knew it. He was a bit of a womaniser but rejected the h. We know his thoughts constantly through the book and we know he doesn't want a relationship with the h. He decides to sleep with her for the duration of his stay but then it's over. He does actually leave her too towards the end of the book but comes back. The h on the other hand is quickly besotted again and I just spent so much time feeling sorry for her. I'm sorry but this kind of unequal relationship doesn't inspire me when I'm reading a romance.The other issue that I couldn't cope with is their complete lack of memory regarding the wedding. I keep thinking they'd been drugged as it would've been the only logical explanation for such total memory loss. Later bits and pieces came back to them conveniently.In spite of my annoyance I have decided to download the next book because the teaser chapters in this book intrigued me.
