3 more like 3 and 1/2 stars.. 
 Here it is about this book.. 
 Loved the story! Loved the plot! Loved how the story line. Really loved that both hero and heroine actually worked for their relationship (somehow). 
 But.. 
 I found the heroine's sarcasm way, way too excessive for my liking.. it was bordering on cheesy! Even though the come backs she used were good most of the time.. still the banter with Greta most of the time was just.. BLECH! I was like, well you cut it out already!! Especially that her "mate" didn't say much to stop his grandmother from throwing insults on his "beloved" mate.. I mean, come on!! 
 The hero was brooding all the time.. and in a not so funny way.. didn't care for it much.. 
 All in all, this could have been a 4/5 star book for me, but the things I pointed out above took more from it than gave to it.. 
 So, yup.. 3 stars! 
 Still, looking forward to reading the next one though ;)
