Review: A Nice Love Story
Rating: 4 out of 5

Book description was pretty accurate so I won't repeat it here.  I love historical romances but I'm not really a fan of stories that take place at sea on ships. I have a hard time getting into naval battle scenes.  I was hesitant to read this one but I'm glad I did as it was a very good story. It kind of stretched credibility a bit that Charlie could get away with the deception of living as a male for over 15 years on a ship with its tight working and living conditions, but getting past that I found this to be a very entertaining and enjoyable read.  It was poignant when Charlie came ashore with Jaxon and tired to learn the ways of "land people" and how to be female after living as a male on a ship for most of her life.  There was some humor to that too.  Some typos but not so much that it was distracting, unless the reader is a real stickler for perfection.  And I found the name "Jaxon" too modern day sounding. A minor quibble but it still felt out of place for the era.  For those reasons I gave this 4 stars instead of 5.  Nice love story with some explicit sensual scenes.
