If you ignore the whole premise of this book, it wasn't bad. However, logically it was very flawed.
The backstory is that Adrienna and Hugh were married as children. Hugh was kidnapped on their wedding night and sold into slavery; apparently in the Middle East. He was supposed to have been killed. We have a confusing background about this and not much information.
For some bizarre reason Hugh believes Adrienna has something to do with his kidnapping even though she was a child. That defies logic. His revenge is to make her give herself to him body and soul and then dump her. He falls in love with her instead.
Meanwhile his slave master comes back to torment Hugh and this ending is very unsatisfactory, as far as I'm concerned.
For someone who keeps saying he, Hugh, learned all these unique ways of sex, the sex scenes are very basic.
There's more going on with the Queen, etc but basically that's our story.
It kept my attention despite the flaws.

Um just say no! I love a good bodice ripper perhaps more then the next girl but this was just unfortunate. The back story was vauge and disjointed and the characters were dull. I think what makes a histarical romance stand out for me, or any romance for that matter is the dialoge that goes on between the hero and heroine, infortunatly this books banter had no sizzle. I think that romance novels are a very under rated genre and done right they can be incredible but the key is to have characters that are at least in some way believeable and real. Unfortunatly these two just made me want to nod off.

I was more than a little distracted while reading this book. It took an entire week. But it was a cute book and I loved the dirty parts. They were well written.
