Review: Disappointing and tepid

I hadn't read a romance in a few months and was looking forward to a few hours with a regency couple. Unfortunately, this story sadly disappointed. I can overlook the editing and spelling mistakes, but the characters just weren't very likeable. I never cared about either of them. Merissa is a shrew and her behavior is so out of line for the times; plus she offers to prostitute herself and the reader is meant to believe that Christian, and an Earl, would have sympathy rather than disdain for her. Also, Christian is a lazy, and lout who does a complete 180 after a country nobody gives him a dressing down - highly unlikely. I'm willing to suspend my disbelief, but only if the author wraps me up in the characters and makes me feel a connection to them and between them. This is a dud - don't waste your time.
