What Were You Expecting?

I only just discovered Sands' historicals last year. I didn't realize she wrote medievals, only historicals. Since then I've found her novels to be quick, light reads. While this was more of the same, I wasn't quite as satisfied with it. I think many of the actions of the heroine were supposed to be kind of cutesy but they were kind of dry instead. I wasn't laughing or smiling over her antics as much as I have in the past. I'm not sure if it was my mood while reading or a reflection of the book but there you go. I think the problem might have been that they just went on too long. There were a ton of instances where she had to be clever and find solutions to problems (carting her husband around after he'd been bashed in the head or drugged) and that didn't leave a lot of time for the romance. Still, it was readable and I enjoyed the main story. I'm also looking forward to the next book.
