The Inherited Bride
SPOILER: What a sneaky brother. He caused so much grief and heartache, but it was all for the good in the long run. It was just unfortunate that our couple got intimate before they should have. It was to `make memories to sustain her`, but in truth, if she had had to honor the initial obligation, I think it would have made her even more miserable in the long run having tasted what she could never have again and KNOWING what she was missing.
Protecting the Desert Heir
Marginally enjoyable, but definite eye-rolling moments too, I give the author credit in that she took many of the traditional plots and tried to give them a twist to make them not what they originally seemed in the end, but there were moments I just couldn't overlook. For instance, pardon me while I get sexually technical here, but just WHY is proof of virginity blood on the sheets. Well, most young ladies have a thin skin membrane called the Hyman "down there" and the first time, the guy has to push through it. It's simple. When it tears, it bleeds. And a baby exits through the same opening. So tell me... Isn't a baby a bit bigger than a guy? Yeah. No way around it. The Hyman is already gone. Our FL might be a virgin technically, but there is no way she can prove it physically so that bit of poor biology being used as such an important plot device kinda soured things for me.
