I downloaded this as a freebie and thought I'd have a go-not really my cup of coffee, but entertaining enough for what it is. Few minor typos, but if you're a historical romance girl-I would say give it a go. More than just lowly peasant meets handsome lord for a romp in the hay type thing!!! Far from it actually.
