Her plan is to marry Vander for one year only so she can get custody over her disabled nephew. Vander misunderstands her and believe shes just desperate for any man to marry her. He has no choice but to agree to her extortionate demand,but he has his own stipulations. He Will only have marital relations wirh her for four nights a year and then only if she begs him for it.Of course things doesnt go as he or she plans it. Did I like this book? Well kind of but it has many weak points. The villainous uncle guardian of the heroines nephew is so cartoonish its hard to take him seriously and he is not so much in the book. Furthermore I wonder why the heroine didnt consider that a wife would be under her husbands control and that a divorce wouldnt be so essily had. There are mentions of other female authors like "Julia Quiplet" and "Lisa Klampas" This book might not be the best of the authors work but its still not a bad one for an introduction to her books. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Additional thoughts on re-read: I have a hard time imagining being small, making it a strange contrast, in my mind, for the heroine to both be chubby and petite; that didn't feel terribly relatable. But still, I sooooo get the challenges of being a smart, talented, clever, but not conventionally attractive woman, despairing that anyone would want you. I love this book and it is an annual re-read. ( )
