***This book was provided by Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.***I thought this book was a decent read.I didn’t find Kate to be very likable, but I think that was the whole point of the story. Her mother, while doting on her sister, seemed to admonish Kate’s every move while they were growing up. I think flashbacks including these types of situations could have gone a long way in having the reader warming up to Kate’s character. As a result of her mother’s treatment, she was very cold to everyone around her, and has been working hard to overcome that reputation.Peter, the Duke of Orland, was easygoing and affable–a direct contrast to Kate’s personality. The pair had history, and while we had glimpses of that history, I think, again, more flashbacks would have been helpful. There were also similarities in the way they were treated growing up, and I thought the stark differences in the way they turned out was interesting.I did like Kate and Peter together; he seemed to bring out something in her no one else could. I also liked seeing Kate through his eyes.While I found this story enjoyable, I think these characters–with their complicated histories and past run-ins, would have served them (as well as the reader) better.If you’re looking for a quick read with a bit of sweetness thrown in, I think you would enjoy this story.
