Hired Husband

Although I liked the story, which is the first installment in the Fortune's Children miniseries, I thought that Nick Valkov, the male protagonist, was too controlling of his wife. For example, he changes the way she dresses and decides where they will live. While such behavior might correspond to his personality, it is rather disappointing to read a book in which the female character, an experienced businesswoman, allows herself to be shaped by her husband without influencing his decisions. This book also introduces sub-plots important to the mini-series.
