An interesting premise that unfortunately fell flat.
Scott Stoddard goes abroad to get away from his parents. To gain a bit of freedom. While on his trip, he falls for a beautiful, extremely wealthy Countess. And then nothing happens. Nothing.
The writing is okay. The cover is gorgeous. But the story lacks a certain, je ne sais quoi. Everything just happens to go Scott's way. Every perceived "issue" is resolved favorably towards him. I wanted to put this book down so many times because there was nothing happening. Seriously. There's nothing in the story to hold your attention. I also didn't care for Scott or the Countess. Their love story didn't engage me. I actually found Scott to be frustrating sometimes.
This was simply not an enjoyable read. It didn't captivate me in any way.
True Rating: 2.5/5 stars
