There were things I liked and didn't like about this book. Firstly, I loathe weak, weeping heroines that can't do anything for themselves. Bree does nothing but fall in the mud and kick her reluctant husband in the crotch for no reason. And he hates women. Why? You never find out. Because he was a man whore as a young man I guess. Ruan's evil half brother forces him to marry an ugly fat chick because the evil brother sells his 10 year old sister to their enemy in marriage. This never made sense. If he's your enemy why would he agree to marry a child? So to get the marriage annulled after rescuing his little sister Ruan somehow ends up married to Bree, who responds by scratching and kicking her new husband and trying to run away. At first I liked the little sister, Merry, but then she turned into a little brat who would kick her brother (who saved her life) at every chance because he was starting to care for his new wife. They struggle with their feelings for one another because she's a woman and thus not to be trusted, and he's a man, thus he's going to beat her. I did buy the second book because the author stated this was her first book and I'm hoping experience shows in her second, but I just wasn't impressed and I'm glad I got it for free.
