Title: Beyond me
Product review: This is the first Bertrice Small book I ever tried to read, and it will most certainly be the last. I am as much of a history fan as anyone, but the pages and pages of background detail which could have easily been handled with a few paragraphs of sound dialogue would have covered it. I could not warm to any of the many characters who were introduced, and thought I know it was part of a series and so I could not know all the characters, I did not really care enough about any of them to get involved. The 'love' scenes were appallingly bad and frankly quite crude. What a disappointment considering everyone told me I simply had to try this author. And the cover is as bad as the writing. The whole book was contrived and wooden.
