I wanted to like him, but he kept receiving opportunities to show true character and then kind of flubbing them. Also, I ended up feeling a little bit disappointed with the hero.
I might have enjoyed the journey getting to there more if I had known that that would very nearly be the ending point of this book as well, and not 'when the real journey would begin' or something. I suppose I was expecting the story to give the background not covered in the previous book and then quickly pick up at the point where it had left off. Linden has in store for the rest of the series!Rating: 4 1/2 stars / AI voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Hugh truly does have his heart in the right place-the ways he can help his mother and sisters are very limited and the alternate method he'd come up with by himself just wasn't going to have the same effect (though OMG, man, you should have admitted to them the situation your father left you all in much sooner than you did!)Reading this story is like reading an unusually romantic train wreck-you love the characters, hate the deception behind them being together, and know disaster is coming and just can't stop reading until the HEA is achieved. Though they get together originally for all the wrong reasons-unbeknownst to Eliza, unfortunately-it's hard to imagine that they would have found each other any other way (and even if they had met somehow, that Hugh would have truly noticed her anyway-he even admits this to himself at one point) so it's hard to hate her father *too* much. I am loving this series!Hugh and Eliza are a wonderful couple.
