Review: Sex parading as a novel

I was rather disappointed in this book. The writing--as far as vivid descriptions and sentence structure--was okay. The over all plot wasn't really that bad either. The problem was that it was set in the early 1800s, yet the vocabulary used (mainly referring to that for body parts and sex acts) didn't fit the century at all - way too modern. Why bother to research and use proper dialect and setting descriptors/situations elsewhere only to jolt the reader back to the 21st century with modern vernacular?  As far as I'm concerned, this book was a spaghetti bowl of sex tossed on top of a shaky frame of a plot by and author who could decide which century she was in.
