triology ends
The third book was not my favorite in tne triology, but it held its own and was great as a solo title.
The main characters start off on two different sides without both of them knowing it.
The story grew on me as I got to know what drove each character. The Grandmother was quitelikeable and you knew she had many schemes up her sleve just waiting for the righ t moment to expose them.
The sister was a giel who just needed someone to believe in her, not a family memeber.
The motheer had a small part, but one that made a mark on both brother and sister.
The heroine just wanted to find a purpose in her life and to quit feeling like she failed her dad.
The hero just needed to remeber to live, not just exist.

Absolutely enjoyable.
This is a wonderful read and the best out of the trilogy. I could not help feel comapassion for Lord Wade. The sexual tension build up was almost unbearably hot!

Disappointing - could have been so much better!
I see this book has had a wide range of reviews. I come down right in the middle - certainly not a 5 star effort but not a failure either. I won't re-summarise the plot as others have done a good job of covering it so here are just a few thoughts to share.

Unfortunately the book does not sparkle and this is due, largely to the somewhat flat, dull prose and stilted and shallow conversation. Also, the author's language is not at all sympathetic to the timeframe in which it is set - too modern, too unpolished and it jars the mood of the story.

The heroine, Louisa, is under-developed in my view. She does not have enough substance to make her stand out and the best character in the book is probably Manvil, the hero's valet - at least he gets some good one-liners to liven things up. Lord Wade (what a sappy name!) was OK but did not come across as a fully developed lead either. Although blinded in an accident and struggling to recover to lead a full life, nonetheless he seems flat and a little boring.

The sex scenes towards the end of the book irritated me. I just could not visualise lying on a rocky lake shore, half submerged in cold water (exactly how it is described in the book) and enjoy making love. All I could think about was how bloody uncomfortable it would be to have rocks digging into me! The bedroom scene was a bit of an eye-opener but seemed to me a little surprising for although it was quite vivid the H/H seemed to walk away from it without much thought or introspection which in a more polished novel you might expect. Everything just seemed superficial. Ditto the supporting cast of characters. The hero's sister, Georgie, was a real mystery to me - she was both very wise and incredibly naive all at the same time but the combination just did not work.

I don't think I will bother again with this author. I do like a damaged hero but this one was pretty forgettable and although I am giving it 3 stars, I am being a little easy on the book. There are just too many of these indifferent, rather boring historicals around these days. Disappointing for those of us who love them.
