Review: Prudish and unrealistic
Rating: 2 out of 5

I read the reviews for this book and thought that the story line was intriguing and different from many romances.  The hero has a broken leg and is trying to rescue a girl caught in the storm.  Well that was the only thing interesting about this book.  It was so unrealistic and the heroine was so whiney and old fashioned. I felt like this was a victorian commentary about women's lib issues.  I don't know how the author believes this would be interesting to a woman of today's day and age.  A woman out to buy her own business and create an independent life with a card store?  Really?  And at every chance she has to mention about how she has to be an independent business woman...ok lady, you are on your own exploring the country looking for a place to settle down and you are suddenly not independent?  I don't get this book at all.  There was no connection for me between the hero and heroine, the love scenes were barely worth reading.  The dialogue was childish.  I am surprised I gave this one 2 stars...which was probably only for the preface of the story and the dramatic ending.  Other than that, it wasn't worth the read.
