Query: Can you say P R E T E N T I O US?

The opening line says it all, and believe me, it doesn't improve. If you like romance, it's not romantic unless you like your heroines without one ounce of honor and heroes who love to be used and abused. If it's a mystery you're looking for, you figure out what's up around page 50, although I admit to not having a sick enough mind to figure out the relationship amongst the hero, heroine and the "father".The author turns philosophy and religion into trite, pompous pronouncements; she stands history on its head and has her characters racing around England as if they owned their own personal bullet train. The characters don't eat, don't sleep, and are about as angsty as any I've met since "The Breakfast Club." And the first review above is correct: the writing is clunky.As with a couple of other reviewers, I gave it one star because I couldn't give it zero.
