Review: Good historical fiction book but boring romance

This book was not what I was expecting.  I love Regency romance books so I was really looking forward to reading this one.  While there is some romance in the book, it is really more of a historical one.  There are lots of interesting historical parts to this book that deal with the Peterloo Massacre,  what led up to it, the brutality of the actual incident, and the shock and despair of the days following.  I knew nothing about this part of England's history and the author does a wonderful job of bringing it all to life.The one problem I had with the book was the romance part of it.  Nash and Madeline were likable enough and I cared about both of them while reading the book, but they had zero chemistry.  They were not even talking to one another through most of the book.  I liked both of the characters, I just didn't like them together.  My favorite character in the book ended up being Nash's older brother Deacon.  He was full of life and very entertaining, I wish there would have been more of him in the book.If you are looking for a romance book, I do not think you will enjoy this one.  If you are a historical fiction fan I think you will find this to be a very interesting read.  I really learned a lot about the problems England faced during this volatile time.
