RT rated this story with 3 stars, meaning it's a mediocre story. The reviewer of RT stated the story had likable characters but ended abruptly, which was weak and inconsistent in nature to the H & H as well as the plot. I agree for the most part. In the beginning I liked both the H & H. As time went on, Abby tended to show little to no sympathy for Josh, even after she learned the ten-year-old troubles between them were brought on by his manipulative father and wasn't his fault. Josh was likable in the beginning, but he ended up being a wishy-washy, wimpy hero, seldom defending himself against Abby's accusations. Abby was also weak in disciplining their equally unsympathic son, Daniel. It struck me that perhaps the author was either under pressure to finish or running out of word count, and that's why Abby and Daniel's sudden attitude turnaround made the ending abrupt. This story also lacked color. Little to no description of their surroundings or the clever similes typical of historicals, making it difficult to visualize the world they lived in. I have to say, however, these characters were never lost for words, Abby especially.
