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

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
