Review: Enjoyable, but certainly not memorable

While the story was somewhat predictable (aren't most romances?), I did find it enjoyable and a fast read.  However, the author's writing style seems unrefined and disjointed.  The omniscient narrator's voice is very straight-forward, simple, American prose but the dialog suddenly jumps into Scottish or Old English vernacular.  It's a little jarring and it's also inconsistent. Also, this is a full length story, not a novella and yet the main characters go from disliking each other and treating each other poorly (although they are attracted to each other) to declaring their love without any clear explanation for how that transition occured.  Indeed, Blaise had been avoiding Elizabeth so it seems odd that he would suddenly declare his jealousy as love. But since this story is free, I can't complain all that much.  It's an enjoyable read, but rather forgettable. If it ever costs money to buy this e-book, I wouldn't recommend it.
