4.0 out of 5 starsShe survived a male dominated world!
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2018
Olivia wed at a young age to a lord who ended up treating her abominably. At his death, Olivia had to give up custody of her son due to the heinous terms of her husband's will. Her husband's cousin, Max, was given custody of Olivia's son and all he heard about Olivia is based upon scandalous rumors that have been circulated. Therefore he is unwilling to meet or listen to Olivia about her wish to regain custody of her child. Olivia has no choice but to meet Max under a concealed identity.
Initially, when Olivia and Max meet, it is obvious there is a chemistry between them. Olivia is torn because she knows Max is a man she can never have, even if he could accept her scandalous past as there is a dark secret she holds that he would not forgive. Olivia fears her only hope in regaining her son is if she accepts the offer proposed by a sanctimonious clergyman who acted as a confessor to her late husband. The said clergyman has his own agenda in this whole scenario.
Max is definitely a likable, warm character. Olivia has been so controlled and manipulated by others so that at times I lost my patience with her. Despite that, she eventually develops some backbone and refuses to be controlled anymore.
Rating: 3 1/2 to 4 Stars!
