I had issues with how overbearing the Heroine was. She, like her mother, was...mouthy, opinionated to the point of disrespectful, and stubborn didn't even begin to touch the attitude she had throughout the story. If she truly found the Hero to be a gentleman, she sure the heck did not treat him as such. She was, apparently, extremely obtuse in regards to the need for the marriage and she kept showing how poorly she appreciated the Hero's efforts to protect her reputation. While I understood her not wanting to be pushed into a marriage, because of the rules of the times, she really didn't have much choice, and the Hero was respectful enough of her to want to do the right thing, even though he could have ruined both her and her mother by exposing what had really happened. She later complained about his lack of attention but whenever he did try she always found a way to ruin it. She was positively shrewish throughout the story, determined to have her way, every time, no yielding, no compromising. The mother of the heroine is 100% detestable. I don't know why authors can't make extended family members and/or other characters at least a little bit likeable. No one is 100% anything and to write a character in this way is just distasteful. She had absolutely no respect for anyone. She was way too busy manipulating everyone she could. While the Hero of the story did seem a bit belligerent and controlling a good deal of the time, his heart was in the right place when he made the effort to save the Heroine's reputation by offering marriage. He continued in the same vein by championing her virtue throughout the story. I've never understood why authors have to write stories where most, if not all, the main characters had issues with the emotion of love (or any emotions for that matter), whether in a marriage or out of it. It would be nice to read a story where the couple actually fell in love, but maybe while wooing they found themselves in some kind of drama that hindered the process but eventually would lead to an HEA. That would have been nice here, but it wasn't to be. One, if not both, the main characters had issues with the idea/concept of a loving marriage...or even the very idea of marriage itself. The Hero's aversion to the animals is, somewhat, understandable...at least the part where the cats and his allergic reaction is concerned. But he also went overboard in being so adamantly against them. However, the Heroin's lack of sympathy and understanding in regards to said allergy was reprehensible. For most of the book she acted like a petulant child. With all that being said, there was little to no romance or passion between the two main characters. They just never seemed to find any common ground, nothing that would be expected in a romantic relationship. The constant fighting was a bit of a bore, with each of them struggling to maintain the ultimate control and neither willing to yield a smidge to the other. Again, both unwilling to compromise in any way, until it was too late...or was it? Is there an HEA for this story? Well, if my review hasn't turned you against the book, read it and decide for yourself. After all, a review is just one person's opinion, right?
