3.5 rounded up! This is my second Johanna Lindsey book that I read and this one was so much better! I really like the hero (Duncan) in this one and although I did like the heroine (Sabrina), I wish she stood up for herself way earlier on in the book. Duncan is a sweet and protective hero without coming off as a alpha douche so that was great! Sabrina is funny, sweet, and introverted! Together Sabrina and Duncan really brought out the best in each other and their romance was sweet but not without the drama from fake friends and scandals. Really enjoyed this one, will continue the series.
