The heroine is a moron. How can it take Abrielle that long to realise the perfect suitor for her is the main hero? Stupid and tedious after a short while. Frankly, after said short while I just wanted to throttle her. Raven the hero of the tale must be a masochist! Abrielle over and over gets herself in peril and Raven thanklessly keeps rescuing her; I really didn't care who she married. Unbearably frustrating! No chemistry between Abrielle and Raven.
