I loved this book. It was gret and an enjoyable read, also a great romance. I liked how the relatiionship grew even though Tom nor Brianna wanted a relationship much less marriage. I loved how Tom kept his word even when it involved marrying Brianna who he barely knew. This had my attention from the beginning and kept in until the end. I didn't want to put it down. I loved the plot and the pace. I loved the description in this book of the sland, the villa and so on. I loved Tom and Brianna together they really help each other change in a good way and they both benefitted from each other. I couldn't foind anything to complain about in this book. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this book and I highly recommend.
