So I realized I'd never finished this little sisters series. This one was about 100 pages longer than an HP. But like another reviewer said it didn't really take advantage of the extra pages. It really just gave me time to dislike the heroine more. I really disliked her which is rare for me in Harlequinlandia. She was so stupid. I would have liked her a lot better if she had visited him in prison. She breaks up with him on the say so of her evil stepsister who she KNOWS wants her fiance and who has always hated her. What's up with all these heroines who never just go to the guy she thinks is cheating on her and say "WTH?" So leaving that aside I'd a thought she could have thought Oh no! He cheated on me but I still love him and he's in trouble! I'll at least check in." And then to have the audacity 5 years later to be pissed that he'd never reached out to her while he was in jail after having been dumped and ignored with no explanations? What the hell was he thinking to take her back at all? This is one instance where the hero really should have slept with her for revenge and to get what she'd refused to give him 5 years ago and then dumped her ass.

But then blah blah blah they loved each other and made it through that. The sister reunion was lame. The story with the castle was underwhelming. Where was his eventual learning about and appreciation of the business plan that really was an interesting element? That was weird that the author left it out. She sure had time to put it in.

Worst of all though is the situation with Miles. She needed to explain why she cared for Miles and that he had been the only one who had treated her well growing up. And he needed to take that into account and try to ease her into the suspicions that he had. Mostly though and this is the big one she needed to remember the forsaking all others part of the wedding vows. This was not a hero who was trying to shut off all her access to friends and family as abusers sometimes do. This was a man who had been unjustly put in jail. Who she knew blamed her hateful family. Who she knew had never really been loved by his family. Who she had already done wrong over the breaking of the engagement. Who was begging her not to go see Miles. Who was begging her to put him first and she went anyway. Bitch. I hated her. And out of the clear blue sky the author has her say "I was trying not to be a doormat" Had she been acting like a doormat at all throughout the book? Had this idea ever come up at all? Nope, Nope Nopity nope.

I'm giving this one star for the hero who somehow managed to love this *&^$* chick. He deserved better. ( )
