I just realized I hadn't reviewed this book and as I received this ARC in exchange for a review I definitely am trying to get caught up on my reviews. I will say that this definitely wasn't my favorite book in any way from this author. Now it had a decent plot in many aspects and I actually found the writing (which I have always found with this author) to be quite engaging and a story I didn't want to put it down.....except for the heroine. She definitely wasn't my cup of tea and came on really too strong in her personality in regards to how she treats the hero. Now I have read plenty of books where the heroine takes against or revenge against the hero. BUT, I think what is key in this circumstance is that she was very antagonistic, contrary and not thinking of the harm she was doing to someone else. Our hero is NOT a bad guy in any circumstance, one that has honor and good intentions and she treats him like he isn't worth polishing her boot and that treatment rubbed me the wrong way and to be honest kept me from fully enjoying this story as I wished to. Because I did enjoy many other aspects of the story and just couldn't get in line with this scenario.

While this book just didn't work for me, if you are a pro feminist who likes the hero being treated in such a manner, than you will probably enjoy how it develops. But this is not attractive to me in a romance and really bothered me on a fundamental level. I definitely plan on reading more of this author though, since I do enjoy her work, I just couldn't quite get on board with this story.
