It did. I really enjoyed the book. The writing is very good, and the story involving. I don't have enough background on the particular romance genre to judge it on those terms, but that didn't matter - it stands alone as a good book. I did have various words/phrases to look up (which is nice) and one phrase that felt anachronistic, which probably means I need to find out more history (also good). I was worried for the various participants at all the right points, and felt the use of he/she for Captain Fleming according to the viewpoint character was just jarring enough to the sensibilities. I've left a review on Amazon, slightly varied from the above.
