Review: Far from the best

I agree with other reviewers that feel the heroine's actions went so far beyond the constraints of the social codes of her time (especially given the girl's upbringing, sweet nature and supportive family as implied by the author's words) as to make the book too unrealistic to enjoy.  I am usually quite forgiving in such matters - if the greater story is well done, I am uncritical of minor slips in historical accuracy - so understand that this one, aforementioned departure, is quite egregious.If the author had made the setting a fantasy world and thrown in some additional elements to make me believe that this was a "regency-like" fantasy world.  OK.  If the author had made this a longer story so as to develop plausible explanations as to how the heroine could get to that point.  OK.I thought the idea behind the story was a good one.  There was potential here and I wanted to like this story, I just couldn't get past the heroine's implausibly salacious forwardness with the hero.  I was unhappy with the quality of this book when I got it for free.  I think it's definitely overpriced now at 99 cents.
