Funny side note.. my son thought you said this like "muh-trim-ony" and now that's what I'm forever calling it

This was the first in this series that I've read but besides wishing I knew a bit more about some side characters, it can be read as a standalone.

Oh lan..I love Amie calling him Lord Grumpy because he grumps a lot. Amie is such a sweet character and she got a lot of stuff dumped on her in life that she's not deserving of. I loved to see her slower whittle away at lan's barriers and always pushing to break the "rules" they set for this marriage of convenience. I am so glad that Amie also was brave in getting lan and his father to clear the air about a misunderstanding between the two and really changed his Father in my eyes at the end for the better.
