Title: Boring...
Review: Gosh - how many ways can I say boring? This is a historical novel, it is not supposed to be one of the typical sweet regency romances that Ms. Hern writes. Only this is really a longer version of a sweet regency. The book is 375 pages of sweetness. Verity is sweet. Her love for the dark forbididng Lord Harkness is sweet, his feeling that he is too crazy/dirty to offer his love is sweet. Yada, yada, yada...I don't know - the village folks are terrified of him yet no one leaves. He gives them homes, jobs, food and they are cruel to him. And he stands for this? His mother-in-law, well, she is a nut case and he puts up with it? Yes, there is the whole guilt thing but did anyone else note he never, ever mentions his dead son? Does he visit the grave? It was like a non-event. And he is Lord of what? Is he an Earl, Viscount, what?? Only diehard sweet regency readers should read this one.
Is the review positive or negative?
