** spoiler alert ** I felt like this had potential but sadly didn’t live up to it.

Amelia’s mother was married to Teo’s father, a Duke, when Amelia was a teenager. Teo hated her mom and her by extension but somehow Amelia loved him? In current day, years later (their parents are divorced and now Teo’s dad is dead) Amelia is a virgin and can’t seem to want sex with anyone so she disguises herself and seduces Teo to get him out of her system.

Blah blah, she finds out she’s pregnant and goes to tell him, he’s super cold and arrogant but says they will marry.

The story was too short for me to feel the change in their relationship. Amelia was so strong and not a doormat in the beginning but he whisks her to a cabin in the middle of nowhere and forces her to do chores and maid duties?? And then suddenly she loves him and agrees to sex and marriage? I felt like they were trying to force a Cinderella angle that didn’t really fit.

The rest of the pacing was off to me and I really didn’t understand why they were in love. 🤷🏻‍♀�� I usually don’t love heroes of a harlequin romance but thought because Amelia was a strong heroine at first that this one had more promise but sadly I was let down.

The ending was cute, though, and I did like the glimpse into their future!
