This book needed a good editor, a better plot, and some historical research.  I had no problem with the improbability of the time travel aspect of the plot as I knew this was a time-travel romance when I picked it up.  What bothered me about the plot was the historical inaccuracies along with the completely unbelievable romance between the hero and heroine.  These two people hate each other one minute and just when I think heroine should slap hero right in the chops ... she's kissing him.  WHAT?The man has a mistress (not unheard of in the time this was supposed to have taken place) but he insists on keeping wife and mistress under the same roof because, get this, she's HIS COUSIN.  Oh.  My.  God.  That is so wrong.  Okay, so I get my mind wrapped around that tidbit and suddenly there's this villain from the past who is just out of their mind evil.  Their dastardly plot would have never worked no matter what time it was carried out in.  They are evil to the point of silliness.But I hate to give up on a book so I keep reading hoping for some sort of big reward at the end for sticking this out.  No such luck.  At the end of the book the evil plot that I knew all along wouldn't work falls apart within a paragraph or two and suddenly wham-bam by some process no one can explain (not even the author) we get our happily ever after.  Disappointing.
