I have read the first 2 books in this series...and loved them....I didnt hate this one but was very dissappointed and troubled.....I loved alaina"s character....was not impressed with risas(Ians first chose of a wife)and was agitated with Ian.....I felt that if he kept thinking of risa he should of let Alaina go....and with friends like risa who needs enemies....and then to have her hook up with Ians cousin in the next book...what the hell is that....heres a clue if ya going to marry be faithful,if not what is good for the goose is good for the wife....
