Hmmm, the hero was a bit OTT. He fell in love at first sight and then tried to convince her they were meant to be together the week of her husband's funeral! The guy sure didn't know how to play it cool. The heroine had been smacked around by the dead hubby but this really didn't seem to be dealt with adequately. Yeah she didn't want to get married again and depend on a man but you'd think she would have had some sort of trust issues that had to be dealt with. I guess it was the times that this book was written that spousal abuse wasn't really talked about.

Still it was fairly interesting and readable. ( )
