The political marriage between Abigail and Gerald began with a declaration that he’d never love her. But as the misunderstandings surrounding Abigail resolve, the pair start to enjoy life as husband and wife. Doted on by Gerald and his household, Abigail leads a fulfilling and food-filled existence eating delicious cuisine every day. Then, by royal decree, she is forced to accompany Gerald on an investigative visit to Longhurst, her abusive former home. Gerald worries terribly about his precious wife—what will happen on this dreaded trip?
Abigail is as awkward and childish as ever while endearing those around her and somehow maintaining just enough propriety and aloofness that she comes out on top. Doesn't hurt that she has so many around her that genuinely care for her and are coming to understand her quirkiness, so they can and will step in to help as needed. Even this fourth prince seems to learn some unexpected lessons in his observations and short experience with Abby and her newfound family. The overall story is just as endearing as Abby herself is, but it's also disjointed and awkward, making it difficult to follow at times.
