To start off, I did not receive an ARC but I bought the book at full price. This is debut book of the author and I really like it. The story fallows Marcus and Phoebe. Both fell in love 8 years ago but Marcus was young and stupid and treated Phoebe with disrespect. He comes back to town after being banished to the West Indies and is still in love with Phoebe though Phoebe has built it up in her mind and hates him.The biggest problem and hurdle you will have in reading this story is all the characters, its a good story but there are way too many names and sisters and family members mentioned. I was fairly lost in the beginning and found it boring as we are introduced to the family members. However they are neccessary to the plot, there was way tooooooo many of them.The other problem I had with this story was there is ALOT of sex, tons and tons which I like but I want more descriptiveness. My point is that if they are going to have sex and sex and sex then lets enjoy it.Aside from those two issues, I LOVED the story. Who woldn't? we have a strong man who is our hero and he has been desperately in love with the heroine. Phoebe was less easy to understand. She is strong, independant but let Marcus kissing her when she was 15 become this BIg thing. She makes him work for the proposal and is constantly worried  if she can marry him. why? not because she is angry anymore but because she has nightmares about him forcing a kiss on her when she was 15 and they both were in love.Now I did enjoy the story despite these problems. Marcus is a dream, and Phoebe is drawn to him. There is a bad guy and he did add a lot of drama to the end of the story. If you can get past the tons of names and characters then you will love the story once it gets going.
