When I first got this book it was when there was only one review of a two rating. I always like to read the under dog. Most of the time Im glad I do. At the beginning of this book I was thinking there is no way this book got a two rating! It was well worthy of a four at minimum. When the book first started and the hero was intruduced I felt like it reminded me of a great start to a beauty and the beast rework. It didn't take long for me to realize that wasn't the case. The hero and heroine characters weren't strong at all their characteristics constantly changed. At about 67% of the book I started to loose interest. I did some skimming until at about 89% of the book where it got a little bit interesting again. At certain points I was close to not finishing the story, hence the skimming just so I could get it over with. Also I felt the author tried too hard at trying to make us believe the characters were from a different time period because she used an abundance of word usages that at some points made me confused. I have read hundreds of historical books but this one cuts the cake when it comes to unfamiliarized words for me in specific. This may be from my lack of grammer or "proper English " or even sophisticated knowledge however it was over kill. I'm giving the book a two because it started with such a great promise.
