I seriously don't see anything wrong with this book. It's just like any other romance book I've read so far. In fact, I turn out liking it. I only have 3 objections to it: a/. its fairy tale pattern, b/. its BDSM idea, and c/. the sex in the period thing (for health's sake). It's not a great book we should praise over and over, I must admit, but there's nothing to fuss about either.
