Title: Juvenile and Historically Atrocious
Review: This reads like something a present-day 17-year-old might have written. I suppose as a light-weight, fairly brainless, romantic throw-away novel, it's okay, but I mainly found the characters to be unbelievable, unsympathetic and annoying. The historical aspects are so badly done as to be ridiculous. A young woman in 1803 who acted as Amy does would have been looked on as a trollop, to put it nicely, and the hero, Lord Richard, who claims to love her, would rightly have been considered a cad or worse. The dialogue and characterizations often struck me as anachronistic they're so wrong for the time period. If you like Jane Austin or the Brontes, stay away from this.
