Review: Not what I was expecting

This is really more like a short story than a book.  The Kindle Store description didn't give the length and I read it in about an hour.  It was way too fast paced with no real development of the story or characters.  It wasn't very exciting because of that.  The language is REALLY cheesy too, and it's not really believable as a "historical" romance.  Mallery should stick to modern settings and actual novels.  I'm usually a fan of her, so this was just very disappointing.I understand this was meant to set up a series.  However, I don't think this story was necessary (it's set a hundred years before the series) and instead it just starts me off on a poor note.  I have not read the series yet, and I will give the first book a try in the hopes it will improve, but I do NOT recommend this story...those interested in the series should just start with book one and skip this.
