Title: Painful!
Review: This book was terrible. Right from the beginning the characters seemed wooden and lifeless, and they remained that way right throughout the book. The story was too complicated and confusing, and too much emphasis was put on political issues instead of the two main characters. Reading this book, I felt as though I was reading a history book instead of a romance novel. The whole idea of a romance is that it flows easily and that you can relax and enjoy reading it - but for it also to contain a bit of intrigue and suspense, and of course, passion and tension and humour. This book lacked all of the above. A romance book is supposed to have you wishing you were one of the characters. Not this book. I would have hated to have been one of these characters and I was truly grateful when I finished it. And the only reason I finished it was because I kept hoping it would improve. Thankfully I didn't hold my breath.The best thing about this book was the cover!
