I love this story. Severin and Hastings are wonderful people with so many flaws and strengths that make them very rich and full body characters. They manage to overcome many of their personality flaws and prejudices and come to love each other in this necessary marriage of convenience.
Sensitive readers might find Severin and Hastings' beginning to be a bit rough but if one can get past that, they do become very endearing characters. Severin can be rather frustrating at times with his overbearing behavior. Sometimes I find myself wincing over his attitude but Hastings is more than able to put her foot down when it comes to her husband.
