The book just went on and on without any purpose. It just kept explaining what we already know or what has been said already. It could have used more dialoge between the characters. I mean it became interestingf towards the end but even the romance was weak. Mary just seemed like an upity individual you can't even connect with, in a book of all places...what a waste of money.

Enjoyed book. Would read again.

I have been a loyal follower of this series, but enough is enough! It was difficult to get through this one. It just didn't go anywhere. It could have had 200 fewer pages and still been torturous. The only objective of the last chapter seemed to be listing the entire family tree! If we wanted names we could refer to the family tree at the beginning of the book! Please, can we have new, fresh, subjects? New location, new character, new time?

This book does not have spice. This is not one of her best books.
