This was a bit of an uneven tale. The basic love story was compelling and had the somewhat unusual twist of the man pining away; however, there were a few character developments and plot points never fully developed (or that disappeared altogether). I would rate the story 2.5-3 stars.But even the aforementioned, in addition to the occasional crudeness during graphic sex, weren't as offputting as the author's Afterward. To have even a fledgling author tell her readers "I'm not the greatest researcher" and to ask them to e-mail her any "period" errors they may have discovered (regarding titles, events, etc.) is unbelieveable. If the author doesn't want to take time to do the research and/or hire a competent editor, perhaps she shouldn't be a writer (at least of historical pieces). Whether this was a "fishing for compliments" attempt, or a honest plea for assistance, it doesn't matter. This freshman effort now rates a 1 with me.
