I just want to say that while I dint enjoy this book I still thought the book clever and the writing very strong. I still think Jackie Ivie is a talented and gifted story teller. That bieng said I truly couldn't like this book no matter how hard I tried. For me Giselle ruined this book. She was pathetic in so many ways that it is just mind blowing at times. I agree with the other reviewer in that Giselle goes into a speechless zombie mode who stares and stares over her attraction to this guy. If this had been kept to the first time she met him I would have overlooked it. Sadly it just lasted to long to tolerate. I kept thinking if it was me bieng stared at like that well I'd find it creepy and probly would have ditched them on the side of the road.  When  considering Giselle's home life and the cruelty she faced you'd think this would be a major stumbling block for Giselle to overcome. Or at least an issue that would need to be confronted. For me it didn't really get the attention it should have. I did skip through this book so I could have missed it but honestly reading this book from beginning to end just wasn't going to happen for me. She was selfish, self absorbed, whiny, and despite growing up in abuse spoiled. I know that when the duke ask for her and his brother have the much needed heir I thought ok that's weird but whatever. I didn't really get why Giselle dint like the duke. Ya he had a bad attitude but considering how terrible Giselle is I dint blame him. I feel sorry for all the misery a very self absobed wife and brother cause.  Giselle has to be one of the worst heroines I've read in a long while. She's just weak and pathetic with no self controll.
