I found this amusing and annoying in about equal measures. In its pacing and humor, it read to me as if the author were strongly influenced by Loretta Chase, but at this point this author is nowhere near as skilled as Ms Chase. Her language is quite modern, lacking anything much in the way of period flavor, and she misuses some words.

For those who care, the sex scenes in this are more graphic than your average historical novel, and border on what I've seen in 'romantica' or 'erotica' romances. I wasn't totally grossed out, but I did feel that it was more information than I needed.

The best part of the book is the tale of The Raven Prince, sections of which begin each chapter.

Not a total waste of time, but I can't recommend it either, except to readers who are OK with wallpaper history and modern language and manners in their historicals.
