content: I usually like Dodd's books, but I was very disappointed in this one. My first problem was that I really couldn't see why the characters liked each other, much less why they would fall in love.And I really didn't like Clarice. She kept talking about how it was her duty to return to her kingdom and make a dynastic marriage, but she gave up her viriginity the first time Robert touched her.Robert semmed upset before Clarice left, but afterward he was okay because she'd told him to "be happy". It seemed like he'd gotten over her pretty quick. But when she came back, he had all this powerful emotion again.All in all, I disliked the hero and heroine so much that I just couldn't enjoy the book.
