Aweful

I really can’t put into words…. Way too much sexual focus to the point of being distasteful. And the story line and characters are childish… ridiculous… this is the first book I just could not finish.

Loved It

I have enjoyed reading the book. Once I find a great historical/regency romance author, I try to read as many of their books as I can.
