Helpful Score: 1
The first few chapters was an enjoyable swashbuckling adventure. But the story wasn't nearly as entertaining when I came to what I call the "harem" section. It dragged and I became bored with Clarinda and Ash's inner musings and emotional tug and pull. I was much more intrigued by the possibilities of a secondary romance between Poppy and Farouk, which wasn't nearly as satisfying as I had hoped. Finally, the story wraps up in the "back to England" section and explains the situation surrounding the star-crossed lovers. For me it was a meandering sort of romance with too few good parts to balance out the otherwise lackluster tale. 3.2 stars.
