Review: Such a waste and VERY boring

I purchased this book solely on the summary which seemed interesting. I love historical books and the story taking place in India gave it some nice flavor that I thought would make for a pretty interesting story. But it wasn't....I've yet to find a Mary Jo Putney book I like as much as One Perfect Rose. That was the first book of hers I read and it exceeded my expectations 100%. But Veils of Silk just fell flat like a pancake.The makings of a good story was lined up but the romance between the hero and heroine gets pushed by the wayside by mumbo jumbo nonsense about Indian politics, the Sikar and Maharajah.The hero was SUCH a likable soul and so was the heroine though she was a little naive in thinking that sex will ruin a relationship if you let "passion" take over but she was so sheltered you knew she didn't know what she was talking about. But any development that could have/SHOULD have happened between the two of them just disappeared for secondary character (their Indian companions and servant had a better developing relationship than the hero and heroine! Better than the MAIN freaking characters!)The beginning was decent but the development of what should have been a good love story just died. Such a waste of a good heroine and heroine.Pass it on by like scenery and save your $6.
