First let me start off by saying I did enjoy reading this story. However I was disappointed because I felt that the story was extremely predictable and every conflict came with a convient outcome. The heroine was not true to the time period but I was able to get passed that because that was simply how the author wanted to portray her. I enjoyed the hero and his jealous ways. I however found a lot of the characters thoughts or parts of the book were filled in with repetitive parts that it got redundant. There are a few minor editing issues but almost all books have them. I guess I was expecting more from the book because of all the five star reviews and was disappointed that the story ended on my kindle at 65%. I have read so many short stories / novellas lately that I was searching for books with more than 200 pages to help take up some of my time. What I got was a few hours at best. I'm not saying the story was bad because it wasn't. It just wasn't what I expected. Would I read more from this author in the future?.... YesSide note unrelated to the story........I almost didn't leave this review because the responses that came from another critical review. I couldn't believe the ammount of comments that were posted to her review that I was slightly worried about posting mine. My point is a critical review is simply what is, a critical opionion of someones work. It might not always be flattering but it is what it is. I have been on the receiving end of those reviews myself. However it never feels good it is something to take into consideration and not attack them for. Especially if the reviewer gets additional votes to back the review they did as well as if they are in the top 10,000 amazon ranking for reviews.
