[Jenny · Rating 3 out of 5]

I loved the medieval setting, I adored the heroine! she was an angel so it really bothered me that hero was contemplating bringing a mistress to live nearby. She wanted to be the perfect wife for him but he was an asshole even though his love confession at the end was swoon-worthy. Still I am not sure I forgive him. Also the sex scenes were rated G! Not steamy at all!

[Amanda Richardson · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5 stars, loved this book, loved the medieval setting always one of my favorites. Hero sieges the castle and the heroine's sister begs her to trade places with her. Hero forces her to marry, but lets her know that he is aware of the deception. Pretty hot and steamy book!

The only thing I didn't like about the hero was him contemplating bringing a mistress to live in the village. I don't think it was realistic the way the heroine acted in that time period. I really liked the book and I want to read more from the author!

A wonderful story that will make you laugh and cry!! I love all of Holt's books. She is one of the few authors who dont add a bunch of wordy paragraphs but instead keeps the reader turning pages and falling in love with the characters.

[P. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Holt has written 2 books with near identical plots and cast. This is the better one by a star or two.

[Jen P · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really hope she writes Henry's story and perhaps Rose's too.

[Sieravonne · Rating 3 out of 5]

I never believed that Rosemunde, Anne's half-sister, cares and loves Anne. She was a hypocrite like her mother.

[Linda C · Rating 4 out of 5]
