1.5/5; 2 stars; C-I have liked or loved pretty much everything I've read by this author (except for the Devil's Web series). (edit: I didn't realized until I reviewed it on GR that this book is considered #4 in the Devil's Web series). There is nothing wrong with the writing, it comes down to the characters. I thought the premise of the story was great (younger man offers marriage to the older, destitute sister of a recently deceased friend). Perry, the hero, was the most level headed, kind hearted, smart, and steady male you could hope to find. Even the character of Grace had a lot to love. However, I got thoroughly fed up with angst and hand wringing and negative inner dialogue, especially on the part of Grace. There was too much repetition of the same doubts and fears and way too many opportunities to be honest about feelings that were passed by. Can you really spend YEARS wondering if someone loves you when you know that you love them but have never mentioned it because you're a complete cowardly weinie?? This is one of the tropes I hate.
