I'm always on the lookout for a fun story and this one fit the bill. It was also a *clean* romance and I really appreciate that as a reader.Maggie is a naive young lady with her head in the clouds. I so much prefer that to a cynical woman. She has a jealous streak, which made her a fun character--because shes'not perfect. I felt that Maggie was a real character because she had feelings about herself that a lot of women have--insecurity, not seeing herself as others see her, kind, loyal, etc. I wish she would have stood up for herself a little more, but it seems like a lot of women don't in real life.Marcus is a big jerk at first. I thought he was so rude to treat Maggie the way he did and then steal a kiss. I thought, "What?! Who does he think he is?! What a cocky guy!!" However, I grew to like him the more I got to know him. I guess he's just one of those people who doesn't make a good first impression, but proves that things aren't always as they seem. One thing I noted about him--he seemed a lot older than Maggie and although he was, I think he seemed so because of the words he used. He came across as being very educated and...old.I thought their relationship happened kind of suddenly, especially considering how he treated her, but once it started, it was a fun journey that brought a few smiles to my face. I really liked the aspect of an engagement of convenience.Content: clean!!**I received a copy in exchange for a review and it in no way influenced my opinion**
