If you read Gillian and Noble's story in the first book, you expect so much more. This book was nothing like that, and was a complete throw away. Charlottle is obnoxious and totally unlikeable. Dare is ok, but why he supposedly loves her is a complete mystery. The two big events (spoiler alert) were both unnecessary and irrelevant. One maybe, but not both. The ending, with the two living happily ever after in remote Scotland - highly improbable.The author's trademark language issues and quirky domestic staff just don't cut it either in this book. So,if you read the first book, do yourself a favor and lower your expectations to zero or skip this one completely.
