I had a really hard time with this book and I couldn't even finish it. I ended up skim reading the book and finding myself getting madder and madder at the character's stupidity and sappy thoughts. Such a disappointment because I really enjoyed the first book with Lysette and Max.
I think my biggest problem was Celia. Her character was a mixture of Evie St. Vincent and Amelia Hathaway (from Kleypas other series). It was extremely inconsistent. One minute she was a nervous stammering innocent girl and the next she was brazen and sarcastic. It was also damn annoying that she was a prude. I mean, was it that important she stayed a virgin for Justin? I think it would have added to the story more if she was truly a wife to Philippe. Celia was also not the smartest tool in the shed and terribly girly.
I guess the second problem I have with the story was how Philippe and Justin are always pitted against each other. It got old and I was so disappointed with how Philippe turned out.
Hated it. I missed the witty characters, playful banter, and humorous situations in most of her other books.
