Reviews

[Alexis-Morgan Roark · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read the Melanie Milburne first. It's exactly what you would expect complete with the mistaken other woman and the marriage of convenience blossoming into love. Some parts were really obvious (hero's real reason for marriage, at least to me) and others were a nice albeit sad surprise (Aunt Rose having Parkinson's).
