Sigh, I had thought SEP one of the few romance authors I could count on but this book had an epic fail. What is worse is that Molly, besides being one of those heroines you want to slap silly, doesn't learn or reform and continues to practice deception as her goto response for dealing with problems. As the book went on, I wanted to smack the hero around too, but at least he showed some character growth, while Molly continues to be, if you take off the rose tinted glasses, really a manipulative childish bitch, actually. OK, she's nice to cute animals and children, but sheesh, I wouldn't want MY brother married to her since she's shown to be incapable of telling the truth in stress situations. 
 I understand those who love this book, SEP writes with skill and humor, and there are portions that are quite affecting, but I just could not keep giving the main character a pass for her narcissism.
