That mix up had me laughing, I could see how it happened, especially as I was listening to the book rather than reading it. But then Julia was never meant to be his bride in the first place. Poor Jake coming in from a full days work on the farm having to eat cold soup. I thought the two of them worked well together although I have to admit, Julias actions after they first got married had me rolling my eyes. Jake is one of those oh so honourable men that seem to grace all these types of book. But as a result she's lacking in confidence and downtrodden. Julia is made out to be the fat, silly, ugly woman in a family of great beauties although in reality it seems she's actually beautiful herself, just not quite so thin and beautiful as her mother would like and her sisters are.
I liked both Julia and Jake as characters. The reactions were in character and believable. But I thought it was nicely handled and it worked well for the story.
Julias secret wasn't really a secret to me, I'd guessed long before it was revealed and had also guessed how Jake would react to it. But it had a bit more depth to it than a lot of the others I've read in the genre. And to be honest, it was exactly that in most respects. I wasn't actually expecting as much from this book, it sounded like your typical, fluffy, historical romance. Bit more depth than often found in this genre.
