I loved the first two books in this series. They were historically rich and had passionate characters. This third book was just tripe. The pacing was too fast and the ending made me throw the book across the room. I didn't even finish it. I got 3/4's of the way through the book and saw that the author was actually going to abandon a relationship nurtured through 2 1/2 books. I skimmed the rest and saw I was right.I feel like I wasted my time getting to know these characters. I read books for "happy endings" which is not what Mrs. Graeme-Evans provided.
