I adored this book. I seriously smiled non-stop like a 14-year-old girl with a major crush on a boy across the hall. First, Angus, he is grumpy, moody, irritable (help me out here) and all those other adjectives describing someone who woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Nevertheless, he is smart, sensitive, cocky (yes this goes into the good quality side) and loyal. Second, Mary is grumpy, moody, irritable but also, smart, sensitive, witty, and loyal. Yup, they are exactly alike so they challenge each other, butt heads and make for a hilarious but fun-loving book.
Angus and Mary make the book but that does not mean the storyline is not good. Because it is. The book had a Beauty and the Beast quality but there was no clear line on who was the beauty and who was the beast. Both Angus and Mary felt flawed physically but viewed the other person as beautiful. The beauty they saw in each other was what I loved about the book.
The servants make for great minor characters especially the feisty, tell it like it is Abigail who seems to be willing to give her right and/or left teat for about everything (figuratively speaking of course)!

The end seemed a bit rushed and seemed incomplete. However, there is a book 2 and I definitely will read it.

4 out of 5 stars.

Cover- 1 out of 5 stars- horrible cover- it doesnt show Angus like he truly is in the book or even close. It does a real disservice to the book to show him without his scars.
