    Good, fairly clean for adult reading

    This could be the beginning of a great series but through events so far it could become rather steamy.
    This would not be recommended to Young Adults but it is written fairly clean.
    It is in an old England setting and involves those intending to embark a voyage to the colonies.
    I enjoyed the prelude and can only hope the next in the series is cleanly written.

    Where is the Ending

    Could have been a good story, but the story just stopped. A complet waste of time. 108 pages that should have taken on more than 50 pages at best.
