If the dialogue and the attitudes are too modern, I am put off. Well, I guess it also really bugs me when there are glaring historical inaccuracies. There's a few "popular" self-pubbed books that have reviews noting that the heroine in a Regency-era novel inherits an entailed estate. I can suspend disbelief and accept ghosts or other paranormal things. I can't suspend disbelief for blatant historical mistakes. Dear Author calls them "mistoricals" and I love that term!

There was a special "bonus edition" of this book out last year at this time so you guys might check your archives before buying! It had a different ISBN number, so won't trigger one of those "you already own this, dummy" notices that I so rely upon.
