Methinks this author has read too many Jane Austen books. The writing style is ancient, there is no real heat between the characters, and there is no connecting the characters with the reader. The language skills of this author are so bad, it's driving me batty. I want to go wild with a red pen all over the pages. Yet, I fear there is no hope of saving this one.

Said he, said she, explained he, murmured she - yeah, this book is that annoying. There is all too much telling going on, no showing, and only one chapter in and I'm ready to flounce. This is horrid! Why would Harlequin put out a book like this? They know better!
