I have mixed feelings about this book. First off, I generally avoid historicals set in America smack in the middle of slavery, but I knew that up front so that is my fault for still checking it out from the library. The mid-1990s attempt at body positivity came across as a bit heavy-handed, and was negated by all the dumb blonde jokes. The author's attempt to make the hero a good guy despite the fact that he owned slaves was also a little cringe-y. However, I kept reading because I enjoyed the banter between the hero and heroine as well as the heroine's attempt to introduce a little 1996 to the 1800s. Hence, my mixed feelings. Hopefully, I can find a time-travel book by Sandra Hill at my library that is set in a historical era that doesn't make me quite as uncomfortable.
