OK, OK--so this wasn't one of Jude's best books, but I have to admit that I liked it much better than the Blessing! I personally like hearing about those too perfect, too rich, too handsome, too lovely and too loving Montgomerys and Taggerts! I was glad to see the family return. I felt that I learned a bit about both Fiona and Ace, and could see how their relationship grew. I like my ends tightly knit though, and wondered if Ace's family had felt rejected by him or if he felt estranged from them because of his unusual choice of lifestyle. (I am talking about his parents here, not his cousins.) Of course, the outcome was obvious, but I want my romances to end happily. All in all though, I think that Historical romance is the genre in which Jude excells, and I wish she would return to that. (I am glad to see her leave that goofy time travel/reincarnation stuff behind!)
