Wow. Last time I take a rec! This was crap. The writing itself was so bad it kept kicking me right out of this rather pedestrian romance.

The sex was only okay; one good scene does not a whole book make.

The POV switched inside paragraphs. Their "hilarious battle of the sexes" consisted of childish arguments, cliched demands and stubborn idiocy. The offensive assumptions and shallow reactions of the main characters were apparently supposed to pass as 'period thinking' - but the attempts were only awkward and jarring and repulsive instead. The "mystery" was contrived and seemed pasted on to give the story it some kind of end.

Ugh. Not sure why I even finished reading it other than the fact that it didn't take much attention to do so. Just stubborn I guess. *sigh*
