The heroine Belle is a feisty sassy lady. She attended law school disguised as a man, and when her subterfuge was discovered they tried to tear up her law degree. But she took them to court and won. So a woman to be reckoned with you might think. Tyler Ward is a rich horse breeder and land owner. His grandfather has threatened Ward that if he does not marry and produce heirs he will leave the entire estate to Ward's despicable cousin.Ward chooses Belle Beckett as his bride, with the means to blackmail her into submission. Our feisty heroine is furious and tells Ward what a pig he is. But faced with the evidence he holds she has no choice but to marry him.I thought this might prove to be an interesting short story, I was mistaken the heroine comes across as a woman who has no control over her mind body or emotions. While screaming at Ward and slapping him, she simultaneously allows him to fondle and kiss her. This is the pattern that is set throughout this story. I quite liked Ward the hero he at least knows his own mind. the story starts out okay but very quickly descends into complete nonsense. The dialogue is hard to take, I am assuming the author went for authentic, but it just came across as sickly sweet. The descriptions used for body parts was cringeworthy. For instance Belle's breasts are referred to as Mount Tetons, huh? Then there are the spelling mistakes, and the misspelling of Belle's surname, that is always a very bad error IMO. To get your characters name wrong. Not a recommended read.
