About book The Doctor's Lady (2011)

This book was long, and did not hold my interest. I felt like anything that could go wrong did go wrong, and that made the story unbelievable to me, but... When I read the authors notes in the back, and found this book was based on actual events, all of the things that I felt were unbelievable really happened, and the one that I felt was believable, was one of the few things that was fictional. I would recommend this on the basis that I have a whole new respect for Narcissa Whitman (Priscilla in the book) and leaves you feeling in awe at what she went through. Pros: The author is talented with dialog and small witty sentences. I found the chemistry between the characters realistic (it is a clean romance). The characters were strong and I really enjoyed the first half of the book. Cons: I felt the second half of the book lost its "momentum." I was seeking to find more of an addicting story line (like in the beginning), but instead the plot was filled with more "dangerous experiences" and I felt the suspense sag. I am a conservative Christian and as a warning, this author does not shy away from the fact that married couples have "relations." There was once sentence in the beginning that I thought should have been omitted or rephrased (describing the step-father's horrible character) - it almost ruined the book for me, but that was just me. Again, she is a blunt author which might not appeal to all. Second warning, this book deals with some serious topics in regards to (I am just going to have to say it), rape. Overall, this book was not a waste of time. The story is based on historical facts and I was addicted - having read it in two days. I will not recommend it to my conservative clean-romance friends - but if someone asks me, I would say its an okay read.
