Review: It was good..SPOILERS
Rating: 3 out of 5

It was really, really long. It could have gotten in all the information by about 30% of the book. I felt like the rest was drawn out and things were restated a bit too much. Then there were all these surprise moments that did not need to be there like her having a 1/2 brother no one but her family knew about and then her twin showing up and there was the irate mistress that needed to be taken care of. It was all the elements that could possibly happen in every kind of this type story all thrown together into this one. It was good in theory but just over done. The hero was an idiot. He kept going to all the males around him for advice instead of asking the heroine. His men know even less about her than he does so how can they possibly give good advice about her. Tell her the truth and that you want her and only her and she would have been fine. Nope, he listened to his womanizing brother and thought to play on her mothering instincts and then his brother told him to make her jealous using his ex-mistress. The heroine walked in on that advice and got mad, of course. The mistress had already walked into their bedchamber and declared that she had him first and longer than the heroine...on their first night at his home. Now, this is my big issue with books like these. If you know you are going to marry and bring a wife back home, do not sleep around with women that live in your village or work in your home. If your future wife will eventually meet them, do not sleep with them and the heroes could avoid all future fights.
