Review: WAY too modern and BEYOND disappointing

I have to say I'm quite shocked by this book. Considering the author's extensive experience I would have expected better.This book doesn't read like a historical at all. At least not from an author who supposedly knows what she's doing (with an arsenal of historicals under her belt).The language is so sad and modern it distracts from the story. It's like 2014 characters playing dress-up at some tourist historical spot on the sight seeing trip. As if you stopped off at the 19th century post at Epcot and stayed to take pictures and hear from the fake characters from the time period.The language is just so distracting. No one said "But I digress" in conversation or letters. No one said 'You look like the grim reaper" The amount of exclamation points like in modern romance novels was a trip. Overall it was just 21st century people in dress up. Not even close to being historical. What in the hell was going on in writing this book? It makes no sense for a supposed seasoned author. WHO edited this book?Overall: if you want a historical DON'T pick this book up or any in the series. If this is an idea of what they're like then it's not worth the money.
