Fiction. Romance. Historical Fiction. HTML:Millicent understands the terms of her arranged marriage all too well. She gets to be a Countess by marrying an impoverished Earl. And in return, the Earl Fitzhugh receives the benefit of her vast wealth, saving his family from bankruptcy. Because of her youth, they have agreed to wait eight years before consummating the marriageâ??and then, only to beget an heir. After which, they will lead separate lives.
It is a most sensible arrangement. Except for one little thing. Somehow Millie has fallen head over heels in love with her husband.

As the hour they truly become husband-and-wife draws near, both Millie and Fitzhugh must face the truth in their hearts. Has their pact bred only a great friendshipâ??or has it, without either of them quite noticing, given rise to a great

I cried multiple times. I clutched my chest at least thrice. Sherry Thomas, you are tearing me apart!

The secondary love story was a waste of my time (the couple have their own book next so their story did not deserve so much space here) and our arrival at the conclusion was a bit rushed but oh my god I don't even care because this was magnificent. ( )

I feel horrible and gross after reading this book. ( )

Sweet and sad...the story of a man and woman forced to marry and endure a marriage that is only friendship. She of course, falls for him, while he pines for his one true love. I felt so sorry for Millie, as she kept hiding her love for her husband. What a sad life.

But is there a happy ending? No spoilers here...you must read to find out!! ( )

Thomas is a good writer, this whole scenario just isn't my cup of tea. I don't mind an arranged marriage, OR love at first sight, OR unrequited love, OR second chance where half the book is in the past and it bounces back and forth, OR 'other woman' issues, OR characters being young and immature- but all combined it is just too many things I don't enjoy. I dislike when the characters forever stand in their own way, and both of these MCs really do. They could have avoided literal years of pain if they'd just been able to get their act together the tiniest bit. Also, the other woman drama lasts for all but like the last half of the last chapter of the book or something. It's ridiculous. I wanted to shake them all until they did better, =P. But, I did like how the main couple learned to work together and be partners, and that they were friends, and that that ended up counting for more than the more flashy stuff. ( )

It was okay. I think the fact that it was told through so many flashback diluted the impact of the story. ( )
