Review: A big mess of a book

I didn't mind the alternate history presented in this book; the goofy blend of old fashioned mannerisms, "technology" (telegraphs?) and ghostbusters-talk was ok. It was funny at first but the second the author got too caught up in describing the hero's physique and how well he filled out his trousers, I knew this book was going to take an unfortunate turn down steamy romance alley. There's this throwaway gobbledly gook about ghosts and ghosthunters and people with magical powers but all the author cared for was getting to the embarrassing sex scene. Then some more stupidity and clumsy magic and the book ends with the hero excitedly coming back from the pharmacy with something for his wedding night...Good grief.
