There wasn't much of a courtship at all, no real falling into love they were just suddenly there (and even then it seemed pretty mild). Even his 'soul revealing' moment at the very end of the book was just a sad, almost exact, retelling of the information we'd already gotten at the beginning. Also the man seemed quite unique at the start, and I was curious how he would play out, but he ended up just 'meh'. The rest of the book she seemed dissatisfied over one thing or another, even when she came from almost nothing and was just showered with nearly everything she ever wanted at every turn. I liked that the heroine didn't cower when she was placed in intimidating circumstances in the beginning, but that was about the last time I enjoyed her character. There wasn't anything horrid in it, just nothing that particularly engaged any care from me. I've quite liked several books from Balogh, but this one was a miss for me.
