Title: Cartoonish
Product review: I bought this book looking for something a little bit lighter and racier than the usual historical fiction I enjoy regularly. I was sadly disappointed. The entire plot is engineered to create situations for sex (and sometimes poorly engineered - take the Unconquerable Sun episode as case and point). I did not find the sex provocative because the characters were so one-dimensional, and the setting so thin. The story of Zenobia Queen of Palmyra should be great material - but I got so little sense of the historical background and characters that the novel was almost cartoonish. If you are a lover ROMANCE, you may not be disappointed, but if you are a lover of the HISTORICAL, you are bound to be disappointed.
