Myriah Fire is a different type of historical romance.  While there is an interesting look at the lives some people lived at the time of the war between England and France (1813), the historical significance isn't  really there, except for the practice of smuggling French spirits, etc. into England.  The story could have easily been set in another era.  Marrying for social status instead of love, for monetary reasons, and to please one's family is practice many women have endured for centuries in one way or another.  Some of the language seemed a bit vulgar, more like modern slang, especially in the sex scenes, not only what I expected given the time period.  All in all the story was interesting and moved along well.
