This did absolutely nothing for me. 
 I thought Lydia and Colton were very mismatched. Two serious, arrogant, uptight, control-freaks being forced together into an accidental marriage of convenience. Eh. Although to me the heroine came off way more arrogant, cold and self-serving than the hero ever did. *shrugs* Everything was so half-approached and weak. The chemistry just wasn't there and the attraction between the two came off incredibly forced given Lydia's abhorrent attitude. 
 I really struggled to understand why this woman would get so bent out of shape and waspish over everything. My You're a Flaming Bitch button was triggered multiple times. gYs" 
 "What if you spend a few minutes talking to me. Because I'm trying to figure out exactly where I stand here, and I have to say, I'm not entirely sure." 
 "Well excuse me for not feeling all that sorry for you," she said, her tone verging on ferocious. "I am...I don't do things like this." 
 "I guess I don't know how you feel about things like your number. Or, whatever it is that people seem to obsess about when it comes to sex and partners. It was different maybe when we thought we had done it before..." 
 "Are you concerned that you just made me a slut when you hadn't already?" 
 He frowned. "That's not what I said. And you know it. But I feel like maybe it was a little bit of sex under false pretenses. And, it wasn't on purpose, but I'm worried." 
 "Worried that I'll have a spiral because I've now had sex with three men instead of two? However will I go on?" 
 "You don't have to be sarcastic about it." 
 "Yes, I kind of do, because it's either that or punch you in the face, or maybe curl up on top of my pamphlets and have a mental breakdown." 
 All this because he asked you if you were ok during afterglow? gY~3 
 Lydia was exactly what I was expecting to get but hoping for her to prove me wrong. She's uptight, temperamental and just so blah. She's only ever one mode: Defensive. And that never works for me. Give me a reason why someone needs to act like a bitch besides the fact that she's attracted to a guy. I mean seriously? This isn't Junior High. I just didn't understand her or what Colton found so attractive about her. The stank attitude was very hard to overlook for me. A person can be gorgeous or plain but end of the day if their attitude is shit? You ugly. Period. It's the biggest turn off imaginable. And I will never ever understand why authors write heroines like this. 
 I think what also lost me besides the lackluster pairing and mediocre sex was the humor was totally missing. The humor & witty dialogue Yates is known for was completely absent here with a dry as dirt couple and an uptight heroine who constantly vilifies the hero because she doesn't want to open up. And let me just say Colton is literally the least
