Query: Not worth the time

I have read quite a few historical fictions, and this one is definately sub-par. It is inspired by real people, but the author herself admits that one of her main characters is based on someone who existed nearly 100 years BEFORE the events in the book. It seemed badly written and tried too hard to erotic, but ended up being repeative and gross.Definately leave this alone.
