I wanted to like this better than I did. I love funny and goofy heroines. I love to see a straight laced hero fall for them. This one had a great little boy in it. He was the hero's son and was totally charming. The thing that marred this for me was the bits of wonky, unbelievable, vague plotting. The hero was pretty gullible. Plus nobody sleeps upstairs and leaves a baby alone to sleep in a downstairs room.

Oh and I nearly forgot, the heroine was weirdly 1950ish submissive. She was all about obeying the hero 'cuz he obviously knows best.… (more)

I thoroughly enjoyed this lovely fantasy. Charming story of a rich oil man who befriends an 18 year old girl who has been under the evil grasping influence of her aunt and uncle since she was 14. He pretends to be her husband to rout the bad guys and then they spend the next 6 months pretending to be married whenever the other needs a back up. She is naive in a happy way although she makes a plan to become more educated and self fulfilled so that she would be a better match for him. She doesn't know how rich he is or what all he owns. She doesn't know how crazy about her he is. He has everyone in his vast organization hopping to fulfill her every whim. He is just waiting for her to grow up a little before he actually marries her. Which the reader is totally aware of but she is oblivious. She is not a doormat just a clueless young girl. She does love him though and that comes through. I could see that it was a real love while not totally mature but that regardless he would keep her indulged and pampered for her whole life. How did this woman manage to write so clearly about the silly day dreams I had as a young girl? :-) Happy, happy fluff.… (more)

Interesting premise. The mute girl was an interesting twist. She was written very childish seeming and her continual giggling to herself got annoying. The hero was sort of a Professor Higgins sort. Very self absorbed and superior in a 'that's just the way the world works' way. I had no real problem with that but I did have a problem with his not standing up for his wife against the OW's shenanigans.
