This book really disappointed me, so much so that I simply couldn't finish it. Adrienne's character was no more than a petulant child who, after learning 'no' as her first word, refused to say anything else. I'm all for a woman trying to preserve her virtue, but her character just came of as spoiled, unreasonable and contrary. I actually cheered when Grimm finally got sick of her and told her off! Then, rather than taking his words to heart, her pouty response is 'I'm not such a bad person.' PLEASE! Unless you are in to predictability and and frustration, I'd pass on this one.
