And I'll start by saying I think that this must have been one of the author's first books and she has improved a lot since this one. I recently readThe Handfasting (A Romance Novella)and I loved it. There were aspects of this story that I liked, which I suspect might be the author's trademark, such as the deep love between the H and h. You have the feeling right from the beginning that these two are soulmates.What was problematic was the modern language and believe me I'm not a huge stickler for accuracy but words like  'hi' just don't work in a historical. The h was fond of using 'hell' and 'damn', which probably also wasn't realistic and somehow jarred. There were also loads and loads of incorrect words like 'roll' instead of 'role', 'your' instead of 'you're' and 'their' instead of 'they're'. Small errors don't bother me but there really were too many in this book.Also if you aren't into loads and loads of steamy scenes, then you won't enjoy this book. A large chunk in the second half of the book is made up of sex scenes.***Spoilers***I adored the fact that the H was a virgin and only wanted to have sex for the first time with his wife. He waits until they marry to sleep with her and I found it very touching. One of the other reviewers said that he seemed too experienced for a virgin but he does say that he did everything but have full sex before meeting the h.I didn't like the ending, where the villain 'sees' the ghost of someone he murdered and therefore let's the H and h get away. It just wasn't believable for me.I think this author is worth reading and I've just downloaded her latest novellaUntouched (A Romance Novella).
