I give it two stars, not because of something in particular, but because it truly was just ok. Still, I couldn't understand how the main heroine got her land and kept it from men before the things happening in the book, because I didn't find her particularly formidable. For me, at times, she was even naive. So how exactly she amassed, and kept, that wealth everyone is talking about? Kind of unclear. She is said to be very strong and authoritve, but...well she isn't? You get kidnapped and don't trow at least one hissy fit? Like a big one. It needed a big hissy fit. At least. The love story in general...well, it wasn't anything special to be honest. So yeah. Nice read, but nothing to talk that much about....more

The final chapters felt rushed. At one moment she couldn't forgive and forget and then all of a sudden she was fine and could trust him? When the whole point of the book was that he wasn't trustworthy? And she really didn't believe in him, like at all. Nice base for a relationship. So the end was pretty weird considering her stance. To be honest, I didn't think the main hero was that bad, he fucked up with his secrets, but he also tried to explain. And she was sooo stubborn about hating him for his lies, unrelenting. And then? Oh, okay, I love you... Just weird to end the book so fast, when the trust hasn't really been won back....more
2 1/2 stars Not a bad book. But...it read more like a short version of a longer one? I mean, everything happens fast, with absolutely no real details. 2 1/2 stars Not a bad book. But...it read more like a short version of a longer one? I mean, everything happens fast, with absolutely no real details. On the other hand the story doesn't need to be longer, it has plenty of stuff happening. But it doesn't go deep at all. I could hardly connect with any of the characters, because they were like extras. Nothing particularly deep from any of them was said or felt or thought. Big, life-changing revelations don't bring any emotional responses whatsoever. Just felt flat. Still, it had some dry humor and I liked that....more

Also it feels like part of series, not a standalone, and I was prepared for a single novel. Now there are whole bunch of unsolved plots and it feels weird. Maybe there will be another book later, but I may skip it. The story, while engaging, did lag at times and I don't think I will return to it. ...more
