An enjoyable story. I did get frustrated with our couple, both getting hung up on him being her 'guardian', even though he wasn't yet, and there really wasn't a good reason for it beyond not wanting to admit their attraction. The ML was also a little too dictatorial to convince me he was trying to improve his relationship with the FL. He came off as more antagonistic, and I could only shake my head when after his dictatorial commands and disparaging comments he lamented she wasn't the bright, spunky girl he remembered. Seriously? Are you really that oblivious to your own actions? He improved as the story moved along, but I don't blame the FL for being frequently irritated with him. Another thing that confused me a bit were the first assassination attempts. They were exceptionally close to home, in broad daylight, and the guilty party wasn't exactly the sort to blend in with the staff, especially in a household where everybody would know everybody else, but that was an after-the-fact logic hiccup because it didn't crop up until we see the villain. Despite these complaints, I still enjoyed the story and might even consider buying an official copy... if I find it on sale cheap.
