I borrowed this book on my kindle and am so glad I did not pay for this. How did Catherine fall in love with him when he ignored her and didn't even bother to get her name right? No conversations or anything. He was handsome so she fell in love with his looks. I felt she had more connection with his brother Simon who was thoughtful and actually talked to her and had conversations with! Then Simon says Catherine is amazing and now Robert's interested! Give me a break! Now they finally talk and whatnot but I felt their relationship was forced not natural and they did not belong together. Robert even had to be told he was in love to be like hey yeah I am in love with her. Then all the silliness with the double courtship and the duchess and whatnot all for a fast and unsatisfying ending.I really didn't mind his ignorance at first since I thought it'd be a slow build-up to romance and a nice change of pace but then she's already in love before actually getting to know him but what was worse was that then he has to be told to give her a closer look to suddenly be interested - I felt it was a waste and could have been better. The premise was interesting, unique and had potential but it was not well executed.
