Sorry, I must have read a really GOOD book before I started this one...I could not finish it. I made it to just beyond the wedding and I just could not make myself complete it. It may have just been a matter of bad timing for me... I don't know.I liked the characters, David, much more than Chritiania, but I just was not that interested in the intrigue. I guess it was not intriguing enough. Maybe if it had some humor in it I could have stayed interested...?The love scenes were a little flat for me. I switched to a Gaelen Foley book instead and could not put it down for the first 150 pages....It is much more exciting and passionate and intriguing, and they haven't even had sex yet!Get the Hunter book if you want a bland romance in a historical setting, not too exciting to get your self worked up about. Sorry, I really wanted to like it, and it is not like me to leave abook unfinished. I will give her another try with another title...regards & good reading.
