Title: No stars at all for this early effort by Mary Balogh
Review: Plot: UntenableWriting: Very awkward, particularly the dialoguePremise: Ridiculous!Characters: Male protagonist is despicable and demonstrates no character development whatsoever; female protagonist is pitiableBest use of the printed edition: Kindling for a warm fire by which to read some of Mary Balogh's later, better written works.Fortunately for her readers, Mary Balogh outlived this early embarrassing effort at crafting a romance novel. Her later efforts have included some very finely nuanced historical novels, including "Irresistible" "More than a Mistress", "Simply Love" and the Huxtable series.
