Freya s character Too flighty, too unsure, too indecisive and she fought too hard against acknowledging her feelings for Daniel She worried too much about her family secret, her past I found her to be the opposite of what she hoped she would be treated by others She was too inquisitive and determined to find out whatever it was she wanted to know Unfortunately, I I looked forward to reading Freya s

story was enjoyable overall but there was one thing that bothered me through the book Freya is considered illegitimate because her father was scum and had two wives families She was the daughter of the second family and therefore the marriage was not legitimate It was a scandal she had to live down But was the daughter of the first wife not also tainted in anyway by the scandal Are there no

after Love in the Bargain helped the book to flow as many of the characters stories from the first book were esponded upon With this, I do feel like there were a few loose ends i.e why a certain character refused to visit Freya s new home, why one woman was so ugly to Freya, and if amother character finally has a baby that I hope areexplained in the following book.Overall, this book is a
