In the first couple of chapters I wasn't sure I would like this book. The heroine was a bit of a man-hater and the hero was a bit of a wimp. Obviously their parents agreed with me. They blackmail them into an arranged marriage and an isolated four month honeymoon in a cabin the middle of the Alaskan wilderness with no outside contact. Away from the distractions of modern life, they have a lot of time to think. Through this four month period they learn things about each other and about themselves. Since they are 30 and 27 year old virgins, sex is not a part of the learning process which is refreshing in a romantic novel. By the end of the book they've grown enough that I can like them and they have formed a bond that will last.

I will be honest, I downloaded this on my Kindle because it was pretty cheap and thought it would be a time filler. I was pleasently surprised because it really was a good book. The story is very well writtan and has a few twists and turns. What starts out as a typical romance story has some great quirks. I really enjoyed the characters the author created and plan on reading other books by this Author. If you are looking for a fun and light read, then this book is great. The formatting was great.

While I have no problem with Christian romances in any way, this was just not a well written book. The dialogue between the two characters is so horrible! For a dollar I know I shouldn't be complaining but this book is a waste of time!
