Review: Needs more work before publication

I was intrigued by the well-written prologue - Charles Donovan is press-ganged into the navy by Lindsay Beaumont's vindictive father.  I was hoping for a story of love and revenge but it ended up being a tale of marital spats and home renovations.While the characters were likeable, Lindsay vascillates between loving Charles and hating his guts.  Charles seems to forget about revenge the minute he gets married.The plot is fairly straight-forward but there are far too many loose ends left unresolved at the end of the book.  Whatever happened to Charles' revenge on Lindsay's father?Most of all, this book needs a thorough editing.  The language of the characters (in 18th century England) was way too modern and there were two instances where the heroine said 'okay'.  The middle name of the hero changes twice.  The author also needs to check her homophones - there were too many errors to mention.I liked the premise of this book but I think the current version is not quite ready for publication.
