Wolf And The Dove

Argh! The conversation was so forced, it was like watching an old play, with, I shit you not a proper damsel in distress. And he is the classic mustache twisting villain.
The author has proven that she has the uncanny ability to overstate the obvious...
Example: "Join me and we shall dine, so we quench our hunger!"
Really, you're hungry? OH MY GOD!!!! I thought you want to eat for a completely different reason.....
She tries to imitate the old way of speech and fails miserably, making the the entire book grate on your brain...
And she's all like:
"Oh, nay i beg of you sir!!!" *swoons* "You will never have my heart, you fiend!" *blushes maidenly*
And I'm all like:
BARF!!!!!!!!!!!
I only got to about 20%, and could not for the life of me stomach more... I wanted to slap her silly...
The stuff that get's published.........jeez....
