Great Book!

The title of this book so fits the story. I was engrossed from the moment I opened this book. I loved how Ms. Hughes jumped into the story and didn't drag the beginning out for ages. I thought Elizabeth was a bit of a whiny spoiled brat at first, but after taking in consideration what her father asked her to do - I could better understand and relate to her character's emotions. The story broadens your view point to think and take a different angle on the "average love story".

This story was romantic, passionate, sexy and I recommend this story because it's simply perfect quick read.

*I was a lucky winner and received this book as a goodreads giveaway.

192 pages of getting to know wonderful developed characters, coming to terms of the arranged marriage deal where the bride to be and the Asian business man's son sign a contract, they walk out the building and nothing, an abrupt stop in the story. It says that the rest of the story is coming out in September 2012, but its October, and still no ending. I hate it when publisher's allow authors to publish an incomplete book for $4.00. I've read better books for 99cents. I'll think twice about buying another book. Good Luck readers. Considering all of the wonderful authors I've read, on a regular, I feel cheated.
