Sometimes I tend to read fast and forget to enjoy the story. I am also not a big fan of romance novels. This book was a departure for me but I enjoyed it a great deal. I read it with the condition that I would only order the next book in the series if I liked this one. The character development was good and it was refreshing for someone to want to do the right thing and to actually think about what that might be. This book is long enough I had enough time to enjoy it and so I am looking forward to the sequels. The historical details & description of living conditions all brought a reality to the book that made it even more enjoyable. The story also didn't take itself "too seriously". I won't comment on some of the humor I found in the tale as you need to come across it and enjoy it fresh.
