The Naturalist

Meh.
I know this isn't a particularly popular opinion, but I just didn't feel this book. I like the idea of a girl dressing as a boy, but that ran rather long, in my opinion. Also, so much of the book was based on misconception and miscommunication - things that I truly hate in romance. Then there was the fact that I never really felt any sparks between the hero and the heroine. Sure, they're both likable, but they seldom interact with each other without those pesky misconceptions. And I really like my couples to talk more. These two were both too quiet. Then there was the fact that the writing style took me by surprise. It was written a lot more like the actual books of this time period than I was expecting and - considering what I really wanted was a simple, sweet romance - this really threw me.
