review 1: I would not normally choose to read a book like this, but since it was a novella, and kept popping up, I figured I'd see what the reviews were all about. It's not nearly as harsh as I expected and as described. It's not really my cup of tea, but it was written well enough for me to be intrigued by the story line and characters. The synopsis says it all so I don't need to elaborate on the story. Some found the premise a little disturbing, but since it is a HEA it really wasn't all that bad. Described perfectly as an "unwelcome obligation", she is not FORCED into anything. Plus, it's FICTION people!!! Get over it. review 2: I felt like this book was disturbing. I mean I know it was just a book but still some things in it bothered me. I did complete it and ... moreit had a good ending but it was heart breaking for me because to me a book lets your mind wander and this book I did not want to wander there. I understand the meaning and I felt bad for the girl in this story and she finally got happinesss but she went through crap to get a little. less
