This was an OK read. It was at least short. Something just seemed to be missing in the story and the way it was written.

such a stupid story and not a romance at all
If it wasn't a kindle Edition, I would say, it's not worth the paper printed on. All characters are just too stupid to be true. This story is so completely unbelievable. A grown man ruled by his mother? A Girl, who thinks has no other choice, than to marry an angry man? Come on - next try! sorry
