I've come across many dumb heroines while reading historical romances but Rose has got to be on top of the list of stupid heroines.... She is so selfish, and really naive about what time period she lived in... She wanted a man who would let her run her estates and yet gets upset when Wulf stays true to his time and doesn't see why that should be the case. She was lucky her first husband let her but should be smart enough to know that it probably wasn't going to happen again. And then she denies Wulf something she would never deny herself and that was selfish of her to keep their secrect for her own yet so hypocritical if the roles were switched. I really had a hard time with this heroine and her thoughts, I didn't like her at all and by the time she finally comes around its too late in the book and I just wanted to slap her. I don't know how Wulf fell in love with her after the hell she put him through. Her reasons were NOT justified. There was nothing keeping them apart really so the endless dragging on and on was frustrating. So why 3 stars? Because of Wulf, a hero worthy to read about despite his own flaws but nothing as great as Rose! Oh and just like the last book, no romance here.... Suddenly when the understandings are cleared up near the end - it's a love match - not buying it. Overall I'm glad I borrowed the book, its not worth buying. I will read the last of the series but that too I will be borrowing, hopefully that story goes better...
