Review: Not so lady-like at all

If you will read the book, you would think that the story is about a bunch of kids who are looking for 1 adventure to the next.  The only grown up, but not necessary mature, character in the book was John.  It makes sense actually because he is older than the rest of them.Bess shouldn't be called a Lady at all given how she takes one dangerous activity to the next.  I wonder how John was attracted to her especially with how she behaves.  Though I must admit her action to save a child from his kidnappers was courageous, it also showed how reckless she could be.  Probably that endeared her more to John.  I didn't see much of a romance between Bess and John.  It's more like reading an action / suspense book rather than a historical romance.  Most of the conflicts in the book are not even related to how these 2 main characters' love story has blossomed.I just finished the book because I was intrigued if there is any growing up on Bess' side that will happen before their HEA.  Unfortunately, I was disappointed that there was none.  Even Bess' dad seemed to have fun getting involved in the action.  But so much for wanting Bess to grow up when her dad himself was acting like a teenybopper out to have some adventure of his life.  The book is not interesting enough which may not hold the interest of the readers for that long.
