Oh, about that crack!summary romance novel..

It is so far very fail. You would think that, with the crack! involved in that sort of summary it would be good, but... It fails.

1. Heroine is found out as a girl within the first chapter. Because she was stupid and got pushed overboard during a storm while they were crossing a channel. Then it's revealed that she comes from a pacifist family, so she will NOT even take a knife to defend herself. WOMAN, YOU ARE IN ENGLISH-ARISTOCRATIC-HATING-FRANCE, and you are a woman, English AND an aristocrat YOU ARE NOW TOO STUPID TO LIVE.

2. Hero is really sort of boring, which I was sort of expecting? But he holds all of the power, and she has no idea he's not a priest.

I may try to read more of it, but it sadly palls. (this is what I get for not reading a transition book between Emma Jensen and April K. sigh)

THE IDEA HAD SUCH PROMISE.

Perhaps I will re-read The Adventurers, instead.
