Review: Great Historical... Romance Lacked Depth
Rating: 3 out of 5

In 1899 Seattle prostitutes registered as seamstresses, but what does a woman do who REALLY is a seamstress? Unfortunately, the writing fell flat.. The external conflict was weak and all revolved around not having enough money for business, for friends, for love. While the heroine - the honest seamstress, and the hero - a sea captain - were both strong characters, but I never felt connected to them. The book had little suspense and had a slow pace`- I could skip many pages. It was a book I could put down easily and return to later. I guess I was never really hooked, but I kept reading because the historical detail. I would have liked more scenes from the madam's point of view. There was never really a strong villain and I think she could have spiced up the story. The romance was laughable at times and sweet at times... not the romance I was looking for
