FIRST SENTECE: I take up my pen once more, aching with the struggle in my heart.

SUMMARY: [From barnesandnoble.com] To escape marriage to a despised man twice her age, Lady Aurora Demming makes a scandalous arrangement with Nicholas Sabine, a dangerously handsome American facing execution for murder and piracy. She agrees to become his wife for one day... and one glorious, intoxicating night. Widowed, Aurora returns to London society with Nicholas's orphaned sister at her side to face a lifetime without love — until her "dead" husband returns, insisting that she honor their vows and haunting her dreams with promises of forbidden desire...

REASON FOR READING: No real reason. Just cause.

THOUGHTS: This book dragged on way too long. Normally, I love lengthy romances... it gives time for things like character development and plot. This book, on the other hand, could not end soon enough. The writing style was fine and the actual plot was decent, but the middle of the book was just unnecessary filler. I was waiting for the actual plot to kick in. The other Jordan book I read was phenomenal and this one was just a huge let down.

MISCELLANEOUS: Boring.

KEEP/SHARE/CRINGE(?): I will probably send this on to Melanie because that is what I do.
RATING: 3/10 [Poor, lost interest]

CR: Hard Day's Knight by Katie McAlister
RN: Who knows.
