A little too much reliance on misunderstanding/misinformation for the conflict for my liking. The heroine occasionally sort of stood up for herself, but also had a tendency toward martyrdom - putting up with too much crap so that she could shoulder the burden for someone else's care. The resolution also seemed to come about abruptly - as the narrative doesn't show the change over time, the hero's emotional shifts seem to happen without warning, without reason. To put in balance how I felt on finishing this book: I've never read Annie West before. I'm not totally turned off, but I'm not rushing out to get more. I believe I am in the minority on this one, but I actually did not like this book. Which is a shame since I have been anxiously waiting for it to come out electronically. The heroine was just way too much of a martyr for my taste. She tried to package it as sympathizing with the hero's grief, claiming that grief can destroy a person and alter their ability to be rational. But, I just wasn't buying it. She had shades of TSTL and doormat stamped all over her, which is so counter to the Annie West I have come to love. I also thought the hero crossed the line in several places and the heroine just stuck around. The resolution came too quickly and was not well written. One day he accused her of wrong doing, the next day he exonerated her and we never really knew why. It felt unbelievable.Annie West is one of my most read authors. However, if I had read this book first, I would probably not read another by her. I recommend skipping this one....a very disappointing read.
