Did someone declare commas obsolete when I wasn't looking? How about periods, are they gone too?As other reviewers have said, this book had real potential, but it was almost unreadable. The run-on sentences leave you gasping for breath:"She was curious to meet the girl that had finally touched his heart, she must be special and was intrigued by the ogre of the older brother, having two such brothers as Isabelle had, she wondered at someone who was considered to be an abrupt and abrasive brother."Leaving out the comma in direct address is maddening:"You are sense itself Mary and I realize that I am being too hard on Lady Sophie, I did like her a lot."And then there are problems with the past tense:"The Earl and his sister were sat near the fire . . .""That is a fine horse, did you chose him yourself?""His rejection had shook her . . ."None of the above are isolated examples. The book is riddled with these kinds of errors and more.What a shame.
