Review: Historical romance?  No, not really

Other reviewers have mentioned some of the difficulties of this book.  Over use of "whilst", for one; and who ever has said "even although" much less said it over and over.  I can handle the occasional typo but in this book, the typos were too numerous to accept.  The writing style is clunky and the narrative and dialogue aren't believable for the time period of the book.  The author needs to learn to describe and draw the reader in to the story rather than tell about things.Historical references were handled poorly and always there was the sense of being on the outside looking in.  There was a lengthy description of the gun which was pointless to the story and no description of where they were walking.  There were few passages descriptive enough to paint a picture of what was happening or what the experience was like or what the characters were seeing.While unbelevable, if one suspends belief, the story could have been a fairytale worth reading.  It needs some significant work and a good editor though, for that to be a possibility.
