I don't read a lot of romance, so this may be the first true blue TSTL one I've stumbled on, but by God she lives up to the title. Which was much more fun that the book itself. I then spent the rest of the book finding historical inaccuracies and wikipediaing the correct history. Who edited this? *checks publisher* CREATESPACE INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING PLATFORM 'Oh. 'Uh - these sentences don't appear to have anything to do with each other. 'Oh, we've switched to a different POV character and the writing is still the same, so apparently not.' Is it because it's supposed to capture the way the heroine thinks?' Just- no.ĭear readers, I would like to take you on my journey from page 1-50 of this book. I lost count of the number of times she barfed. No angst, just a few assassination attempts and a heroine who vomited all the time. The story was just a bit weak and I didn't warm to the heroine at all. She baked sugar cookies and made Southern Fried Chicken for the knight and his men (yup, you guessed it, you-all, she was a Southern gal) and I am pretty sure a run-down castle in the middle of nowhere would not have had such a ready supply white flour and sugar in the 1300's, when flour was mostly very coarse and dark, and sugar was reserved for the rich. Shades of Outlander much? (to borrow an expression she used a lot in the book). One thing leads to another, she is transported, somehow, back to the 1300's where boyfriend's ancestor, who looks a lot like boyfriend (after 700 years?) is also creepy and hates her. Said girl realises it would be a mistake (because you wouldn't make that decision BEFORE you hop on that all-expenses paid trans-Atlantic flight) and refuses. Modern American girl travels with rich, controlling and slightly creepy English boyfriend to England, where he proposes to her (after fat-shaming her constantly- although she does seem a trifle obsessed with eating unhealthy food). Yeah.nah! This Australian expression sums up my review.
