There seems to be a trend with ebooks these days - they seem to be published as-is. I hope this is a new, struggling publisher because anything else is pathetic and inexcusable. This story had real promise but has some serious execution issues that any decent editor would have been able to address.Early on, the author try's to establish an alias for her outlaw hero but the attempt is awkward and unclear. It seems that three people are in a strange conversation until it is later stated there are only two.When new characters are met they sometimes go back & forth between calling him by his real name & the alias when they should only know the alias at this point.The two outlaws trust much too easily. They never would've lasted a month this way, let alone 2 years!I did not have a problem with the couple being in "love" since children in spite of only seeing each other a few times over the years. It's a fantasy after all. I did have a problem with why the father wanted her wed so hastily to this Lord he hasn't spoken to in 30 years. They didn't need the money. That was garbage.Overall, the premise was OK but had some issues. The dialog was sometimes fun but more often confusing. The relationships severely under-developed. Add to all that some grammar issues...it was a rather difficult read that I could not force myself to finish.
