I thought it would be a better story and I did not enjoy reading this authors style. 3/4 the way through the story picked up which is why I finished it.

I tried to like this book and kudos to the author for trying a really different type of story. The h is the trashy street kid that was taken in by the H's mother when she was only 15. She ends up being the catalyst for the H's parents divorce (not in a good way) and the H absolutely hates her. The h is busy hiding at the H's mother's home in Scotland after another scandalous story breaks about her being with a married man. The H arrives not knowing she'd be there. They have such an acrimonious relationship and he really expects the worst of her but there is chemistry. This story is about not judging a book by it's cover and actually about not being judgemental without all the facts.

I just didn't like the h and although the story is very realistic and I understand why she behaved like she did, it wasn't all what I want in a romance.

I am not a fan of this story.  The author is a talented writer, but fell flat with this. Very slow paced. I really liked Marek, so I will give this author another try.  I hope the stories are not like this.  Addy, is not my favorite.  Mouthy and way to opinionated, constantly complaining and fighting with Stone.  Not sure why Stone, or anybody, would want to be with someone of this nature.

This was my first book by C.J. Box, so it was an experiment.  I thought that I would like the outdoor setting, and I guess it was okay, but I just couldn't get into it.  Also, I really didn't like the game warden character much, and actually the story was more about his falcon training friend.  Although I can't fault the author's style, this series is just not my cup of tea.

Instead I got this a book trying to be a book. I really didn't feel the chemistry between Taylor and James I was more interested in the side stories . I have read better. Taylor was so immature she seemed to be less then 18yrs old and clutch seemed took old and mature for her. I didn't believe for a second that clutch was in love with Taylor nor was I convinced that she felt nothing more than a crush for him. This is my first book by this author and unfortunately not my last since I also purchase another book of hers which I cannot return. I'm so glad I only bought it for 99cents. Yet it was a 99cents I could have used for something more worthy at the dollar general. A waste of my life and money .

I didn't care for this book and will probably not read any more by this author.  Just not my style.

This is my first time reading this author and try as I might, I just couldn't get into this story. I felt that the story was too rushed and moved too fast with hardly any buildup to the romance.

I also thought the humor in it a bit forced, therefore not too funny, and in the end I couldn't make up my mind if this story was trying for a comedy or a tragedy.

I will give the second book a try, but if I don't like that one, I'll probably not read the third book.

i enjoyed he first book and was looking forward to this but it was a huge disappointment.  The story just got ridiculous and its almost as if the author tried to rewrite the characters.

Not what I expected.  The era of the story did not hold my interest.

I had read two of the stories in this series so far, I skipped book 2 because I generally avoid 'rape' stories in my romance reading. I found book 3 a bit too much of a stretch because the h marries the head gardener working for her sister. I liked the idea of this story and the romance was going along pretty well until the author asks us to take such a ridiculous leap of imagination that I wanted to throw my Kindle.

+++Spoilers+++
The h in the least beautiful of the sisters and she is used to being overlooked because of it. She meets the H and they genuinely hit it off but there is a big misunderstanding due to him stupidly saying something to his friends before they'd even met. The H then follows the h after she runs off to her sister the Duchess. They have much ground to cover but work things out. Then unexpectedly the h's father insists the h marry his business partner even though he had raped the sister in book 2. There is no way you can get me to believe that this is even remotely plausible since the second sister's husband would never have stood for it, never mind the sister. You want to tell me the H, another Duke, would happily stand aside for this to happen. They consummate their relationship without being married and I have to believe that the Duke would knowingly let the h marry another man even though she might be carrying his heir. I cannot recommend this book

The story send it very interesting in the review I read in the boston globe so I tried a sample. I wasn't impressed with the beginning but somehow I purchased it by mistake from Amazon. I hoped it would get better and there were some moments I enjoyed the most part this is really not worth reading. Kind of ridiculous and nothing hung together. In fact they were somewhat depressing. Started out sympathizing with the main character but she turned out to have absolutely no redeeming characteristics. I'd recommend skipping this book entirely.

I'm sorry but this is not typical of the books from this author. I didn't enjoy it much at all. The story line wasn't bad but the main characters acted so juvenile and the jokes weren't funny at all.

I did not enjoy the story.  It was not a typical Debbie Macomber book.  I did finish it and tried book 2, but it was worse, and I read only about one fourth of it.

I did not like this book and did not expect what this book was about and glad I did not pay to read it.

I received this book free for my unbiased review from Story Cartel.............I don't like this kind of story, I'm not saying it's not good; it's just not what I like. I couldn't even get through the first chapter, the characters names were hard for me to try to pronounce and it just didn't capture my interest.

I am just not a fan of this Author; could not find the characters interesting enough to keep my attention
