3-3.5 starsThis was a good story. I liked both Louise and Adam and liked the premise of the story.Louise is a woman who's late husband got her involved in a situation that had her testifying against bad guys and going in to witness protection. In the future the best option for disappearing is to become a contract bride on another planet that's being colonized. She thinks she knows the husband she's going to meet but when she arrives she's informed that her intended died and she's now married to a completely different man.Adam's a good guy but has gone through a lot in his past, the kind of stuff that has left him with nightmares. He is a colonist and was surprised to find out he's getting a wife. He's wanted one after seeing his best friend's happiness with his wife but worries how things will work. Unfortunately, when his new wife shows up 2 days early Adam doesn't make the best impression.When Louise meets Adam at the shuttle she arrived on he looks and smells like he's just risen from a barroom floor after a night of hard partying. She's shocked to find out her intended husband is dead and had been replaced by Adam and isn't sure what to think by his state and smell. She's still willing to make a go at things with him but Adam sees her expression when she first finds out he's her new husband and decides that she's a princess and they have no chance at making it work. For the first couple days their relationship consists of Adam avoiding Louise for the most part. They do finally break the ice (mostly thanks to Louise) and they have some hot sex which leads to things going better between them. They start exploring their attraction and growing their relationship and even share a few tender moments. There's a few conflicts during their time together but they're doing pretty good at working through things when her past comes calling. There's some drama and a separation before everything is settled but in the end, Louise and Adam are together and starting their HEA.This was an enjoyable story. I liked both Louise and Adam a lot and the story was interesting. I think the main issue I had with the story was a couple times during the story when I didn't understand the reasoning at all. Overall it was a good story though and I'm glad I read it. :D
