Title: Poor dialogue, poor characters
Product review: Adele Ashworth can't write dialogue. Her characters speak as though they live in the 21st century. It's very jarring to read a historical novel and have the characters speaking modern language. The characters themselves are poorly drawn. They have inconsistent personalitites. And maybe it's just me, but it's difficult to root for a heroine who is completely gorgeous, witty, and well-to-do. Couldn't she be human at all? I'd skip this offering and read a historical by someone like Cathy Maxwell, Tracy Warren, Elizabeth Thornton, or Galen Foley, writers whose books were released on the very same day as this sorry one.
