WARNING! If books had
ratings like movies do this would be a PG-13!
It had unnecessary descriptions of painful consummation of the
marriage. It dwelt too long on this
aspect. It was actually embarrassing to
read the pages about this. I was
shocked! While the idea of a man wanting
to woo and court his wife before consummation was noble. In the end he consummated the marriage not
sure if he really loved her or not because he was still debating what love
really was. And then he just ignores her the next day because he doesn’t know
how to deal with his feelings of inadequacy.
The story also plodded along at a slow pace with neither character
able to express their true feelings or fears.
I found Trent to be unrealistic because if he was honorable and
courageous enough to marry her so she wouldn’t face social ruin why the
hesitation about facing her as his wife and getting to really know her. It made him sound wimpy and immature when he
could not decide how to proceed in his marriage. I’m not talking about physically but rather emotionally.
I was disappointed in this book. It started out with great promise but ended
with a thud.
I received this book from the publishers.
