review 1: This book is one of my favorite books out of all the ones that she writes. It is cute and has a taste of adventure in it. It captures your attention pretty fast and has something interesting at pretty much most of the time. The people have personality and you can totally relate to the characters.It's fun to see how at first they hate each other, but then they learn to tolerate one another. It isn't one of those books that has the people fall in love in about one or two days, it actually takes time. They actually know each other near the end and don't barely know each other. They are hilarious and understand each other. I would totally recommend this book. It's awesome.
review 2: No romance in this depressing,totally implausible, book of misery and sadness!I cou
... moreld only read 1/3 of this until I had to give up! Detested the hero,a Duke who needs an heir to ensure the keeping of the family property and titles out of the hands of his cousin,but he is such a stone-hearted-messed-up mental nut case because of lack of maternal affection and love and physical scarring,that no way would he ever be able to allow himself to get close enough to a woman to even become intimate with one! So that makes the story totally ridiculous and unbelievable,as the more you read,the more you see what a mental case he is!All the while his wife- poor Persephone, is suffering a broken heart and homesickness on top of family loss and living with a man who is mentally and emotionally too detached to even be aware of her suffering!With every page I disliked him even more,until there was no way I even wanted to see this book become even more implausible by having this 'toad' turn into a prince,so I stopped reading it!If you love sweet endearing romances,this depressing book of 'ANGST' is not one of those so I do not recommend this book at all. less

Sometimes a girl just needs to read two Sarah Eden books in a row, right? I loved this one, definitely my favorite of her's. But I have to laugh at the running theme in all Sarah Eden books - Jumping To The Wrong Conclusion. That should be the title for every one of her books. It's pretty much what all of the stories revolve around. Ah well, I keep reading them so it must be working haha. But seriously though, I really liked this one :)
