The plot isnt anything new to historical romance: heroine is married to hero against her will in order to protect her from someone/something and she eventually falls for him. Definitely not anything new by a long shot, but the characters and writing are what made this story for me.
I love the hero and heroine. They felt unique compared to characters in other historical romance heroes/heroines. They were tangible with realistic thoughts and actions. The male wasnt misogynistic and, while the female was hot headed, she wasnt annoyingly stubborn. They worked well together and I adored them.

This is going to have to be my first Tim O'Rourke three star book, I'm afraid. I didn't find it as easy to get into when Hope was being all insecure. I'm used to tough heroines from the author and I'm not sure I liked Hope much at all.
The romance was a little iffy for me too, I didn't quite understand the attraction--at least not until the end.
And speaking of the end, what was that ending!? That's one of the reasons for the three star rating. Another is that I had my suspicions about the truth from about the time of the trouble with her friend and her ex, so the ending wasn't too much of a surprise.
Not my favourite book by the author but still pretty good.
