Negative Positive
Title: Good read!
Review: I don't understand the poor rating based upon it being 'formulaic '. It 's a historical romance ... duh ... which means they all tend to resemble one another. There's usually a strong hero and a beautiful heroine who are initially in strife, yet sexually attracted to one another. Then, the hero fights some enemy to save the heroine, and they eventually fall in love. It seems that a person would read this genre and expect it to follow a certain pattern, since all them do. I enjoyed how the author seemed to stay true to the language and dialect and lore of that era and setting, although I don't know much about it. I also really liked the hero and heroine - he ... masculine and fierce, yet vulnerable ; her ... courageous and bold. They are a good match and destined to be together. That's what romance is all about. You'll see once you read it. The only reason I gave it a four and not a five is because I personally like more eroticism. It had some, but I like more.
