I really enjoyed this book. I also find I like this author. I loved the strong heroine in this book. After the death of her mother she was raised more like her brother. She learned to fight with a specially made sword. She was more than capable of defending herself. She leads the hero on a merry chase when she finds out he's coming to claim her because she is mad he waited so long to fulfill the bridal contract. It's only after arriving back at her father's estate to see the damage an attack did due to most of the fighting men leaving to rescue her from what they thought was a kidnapping by another man, and talking to another woman that she begins to forgive the hero. At least forgiving him seems reasonable. As explained to her by Lady Wildwood, he wasn't necessarily rejecting her, since he'd never met her, but rejecting the idea of marriage. Toward the end of the book when she tries to change herself to be more ladylike to try and win his love the hero realizes that he misses her the way she was and loves her as she was, not as she's become. I had to chuckle at her resourcefulness in escaping the hero so many times at the beginning of the book. A really good story. But I like Lysay Sands. If you like her books, try Love is Blind and The Perfect Wife. Both very good reads with some really good humor thrown in.
