Adam is looking for marriage, he's not looking for love. After growing up in a house where love destroyed his parents, he's determined never to let the emotion overwhelm him. He's looking for a compatible wife who is full of passion. When he finds himself with a most enticing body lying on top of him in the mud, judging by his body’s reaction, he has found just the woman. The fact that she quickly punches him in the eye for this reaction only makes him more determined to have her.

This has to be one of the most fun stories I have read in a long time. The easy banter and arguments between Aster and Adam will at times cause the reader to laugh out loud and Adam’s determination to protect Aster from herself and everything around her is at times so sweet. The author succeeds in pulling the reader back in time where they not only meet Aster and Adam, but an entire town of people who become such intricate parts of this story. The town’s people truly makes this one work. Their love and devotion to Aster and even to Adam is touching. It wouldn't be the same without them. I would highly recommend this one to anyone looking for a fun read with just enough passion, love, and on-the-edge-of-your-seat action.
