i went by reviews and purchased this book, a WASTE of money, from the start, he's deceptive, but doesnt see it that way, and he's so alpha macho that he breaks up with a letter! c'mon, and her situation wasn't much better with her family, u break up with her because she's supposedly from a mercenary family, yet you use same family to lure her back , and her mother quite conveniently finds a backbone! sorry just didn't like this book.
