This book was entirely drawn out and had way too much too it. I felt the author had some great ideas but tried to put them all in one story and wasn't able to make up their mind on what direction to take. Also I felt almost like it was written by two different people. At some points I would want to give up reading it and than there were parts I actually enjoyed. However I was at 30% of the book before I realized who the heroine and hero of the book was. There was a story to start the story. The characters were underdeveloped and didn't match society of that time period. The romance between the characters all of them because there is two romance stories here was underdeveloped as well as there was no passion nor anything building you up to their declaration of love. To me it was sappy words with no real meaning behind them. The heroines friend was supposed to be nave and not knowing about men but was extremely forward with a sailor. That same sailor helps the heroine escape from her marriage where the captain the supposed hero has been pinning for the heroine. I was actually routing for the wrong couple half of the time. Also there were multiple places to end the book but it kept going on and on and on. Like I said earlier the author could have taken the ideas in this story and made multiple good one.
