Review: Not a romance
Rating: 1 out of 5
Date: 10 12, 2013
There is no love interest in this short story. The protagonist is unlikeable, and really I felt zero connection to any of the characters. Not to mention that the author  felt the need to make the main character, Dominic, highly racist. Calling black men slaves and stating how they should stay in their place, also having him glare hatefully at interracial couples. I get that he's from the 19th century, but the issue of race and slavery did not need to be brought up more than once. Especially since Dominic was supposed to have been enlightened and brought up to date, made comfortable with modern life and ideas. As a product of an interracial marriage, this made me uncomfortable and detracted from the story. I will not read anything else from this author, and am glad this book was free on Amazon.
