I was a bit perplexed by LADY IN THE MIST. As much as I wanted to like the story and its characters, it had a hard time holding my attention. I was intrigued by the unique plot, but even so, I found the book traveled at such a slow pace I found it easy to put aside.
I don’t understand what it was about the book that fell short. It had all the facets I look for in fiction–romance, intrigue, love lost, love found, a dashing hero, and a strong heroine, but I never felt a connection. There were long descriptive periods that seem more like an interruption than fact filled. I will admit that I am not a fan of the Regency Era, but the synopsis sounded interesting regardless of the time period. The last quarter of the book picked-up, but if it wasn’t for the fact that I needed to post a review, I probably wouldn’t have invested the time. But if you’re a fan of the Regency Era, I am sure you will appreciate what it is that I wasn’t able to connect to.
