Rating: 3 out of 5

I picked up this book because of the price and because 3 reviewers gave it 5 stars so I said what the heck but for me this story had too much tension and not enough passion. It started out interesting, a woman who was forced to marry a man who did not want her and then he leaves for 6 years to return but can not recognize her as his wife. In my mind I thought WOW a writer could really go with this and make a very interesting story revolving around the wife's retribution. The fact that Lucas her husband want's to stay in the marriage because of her desirability and wealth, had set the stage for real fun and games between the two but instead, Delle Jacobs chooses to cast Sophie the wife as a very broken and unsure person making the story unfold in a much different way then I would have liked. Had she made her a strong, sassy and independent woman who wanted to put Lucas in his place and who would play against his seduction would have made a more interesting story, I think.
