I really enjoyed the way Kennedy worded her book with the more realistic monologue of the time.
The beginning of the book had me a bit confused though.. The first sentence of the book is "At first, it appeared they both wanted the same cock." Now, I know the rest of you have as dirty a mind as me, but I honestly thought that maybe the setting was going to be in a gentleman's club or a brothel or such thing. Well, turns out that 'cock' is an old word for 'chicken'. (You learn something new everyday, huh?)
But, besides that first sentence, I was still somewhat confused with the beginning. The question
of the day seemed to be who is good and who is bad, really? One moment I thought a character might be bad, then it turns around to good, and within a page or two the character sounds like the bad guy again.
The confusion of that first sentence aside though, it was a good book that held my attention. (And, the sex scenes were pretty darn good too.) The characters are loveable and fun and the action is great. I enjoyed reading this book and the historical aspects of it were wonderful!
