Juliet escapes her home one night to claim the Gypsy husband who abandoned her years ago. He rejects her in a humiliating manner--making it clear that he has not honored his troth with her by pointing out his current mistress--and takes her home, all the while telling her that she needs to move on with her life.Not a bad idea, actually. But then he talks her into having sex with him again--insinuating that he's going back to have sex with his mistress afterwards. Really?So Juliet decides to marry her brother's friend Reginald, who doesn't care that she's not a virgin because he wants her for no other reason than that she's obviously a spitfire in bed. O-kay.But Juliet still has hope that Marko will rescue her, so much so, that the day of the wedding she gets a maid to dress up in her wedding dress in her place and heads for the special place where she and Marko made love, expecting him to meet her there.There are a myriad of problems here. First of all, the length is too short. The characters are not fully developed. The heroine seems silly and desperate; the hero is a cruel jerk. There are serious authenticity problems. The only emotion evoked from me was anger that the heroine was so spineless and the hero so faithless and cruel. The only emotion I felt between them was lust, and it seemed to me she could have gotten at least as much of that with good old Reginald.Don't waste your money or your time with this one.
