It's hard to hate this book even though I kept feeling that as a historical romance "purist" I really should. The writing is simple to the point of pre-teen level construction and the historical research was a bit sketchy in many areas. The plot ventured into silliness fairly quickly and stayed there through most the book. So what did I like about it? The main characters were very likable and the way they slowly came to like, trust, and then love each other was engaging. It is clear this writer has some talent and a very vivid imagination. I could have done without all the silliness and the completely unbelievable magic bits, yet they didn't really detract from the central romance theme which was strong enough to hold my attention all the way to the end.
