Negative Positive
Title: Too long and too predictable
Review: I was thrilled with Lofts' book "A Wayside Tavern" and I opened this book expecting more great story telling. Instead, I found at best a cheesy romance loaded with predictability and about 100 pages more than it really took to tell this sad little story. I found the characters rather unlikeable and many of the twists that could have made the tale interesting were never explored. The author took the easy road to the climax of the book and personally, I could care less what happens to any of the characters in the sequels. The "other woman" is a tramp predictably written as wild and unpredictable. The long suffering loyal wife continues to suffer and the wandering knight who wanders in the worst of ways seems to be an immature, unreliable, weak-willed twit who pretty much deserves what is coming to him - though his family certainly deserved better than he ever provided. Turn on Jerry Springer and save your reading time for something of more merit.
