This was an okay romance in my opinion.  It usually drives me crazy when someone states in a review for a short story that it should have been a full-length novel.  This is one of the few occasions where I might agree.  I loved the premise of the story - a girl is pressured into marriage and finds out just after the wedding that her husband was bullied into marrying her.  I felt that the brutish hero was the least developed character in the story, falling well behind even the secondary characters.  It would have been a great story even as a shortie if he had been better developed.  I also felt the spirited nature of the heroine wasn't clearly displayed.  Something I found annoying was more space was used for advertising other books than there were pages in this story.  Despite these drawbacks, though, I did enjoy the story.  It simply could have been so much better than it was.  I miss good old fashioned Medieval romances, and this fed my hunger.
