Quite dramatic. it reminded me of soapoperas. But it was still quite nice. Less drama and I would've liked it even more.

I like it! It was quite realistic and had few, even none, plot holes. And the romance was sweet and the characters likeable -- I recommend it!

A pretty decent plot, until, yet again, the ending. So goddamn ridiculous and over the top. Also, how come the female is always a damsel in distress in Harlequin books? Why the hell can't she ever be stubborn or headstrong like the Harlequin-stereotypical man? I don't get it and can't relate to the Harlequin-woman, which makes the reading boring, cliché and uninteresting to me

Good plot until the last couple of pages - worst ending I've read in a Harlequin-book-turned- into-manga-oneshot

I liked the story and the heroine until the whole marriage-business. I thought she was likeable, with her realistic coldness and stubborness. The whole story just went downhill after that. First of all, no one proposes to anyone in the middle of a fire rescue. Second of all, hiding such important pieces of information, a k a her secrets, is just cheap ways to create drama and plot. But since a little more than the first half of the book was enjoyable, realistic and likeable, I gave it three stars

It's a nice, sweet story I find realistic and to be a great oneshot. I say, read it!

I'm torn. I can understand the female's (re)actions, but I still wish she had acted stronger. And the male was simply confusing, and I have such a hard time trying to like him considering how he treated her for years

I liked it, though the main heroine's struggles became a bit too much in the end. I wished the roles would've been reversed, to be honest, and she should've done it for him instead of him for her. Still, a sweet plot
