Book Description

Publication Date: August 17, 2009

Quest and Michaela Ramsey are one of Seattle's most adored couples but when more than a few secrets creep toward the uncovering point, nothing will be the same. Quest is harboring a volatile secret. Every instinct warns him to come clean with his wife yet at the same time those instincts warn that Mick would be shattered once he does. Michaela; having had enough of her husband's overbearing and 'protection at all costs' nature reclaims the part of herself she fears she's lost. The release of "Royal Ramsey" the revealing biography on Quest's family has been a sore spot between the couple for years. For Michaela, the book's publication is as much about proving to Quest that she's not some helpless soul in need of his exquisite guidance as it is about staying true to the person she had to become to survive the life she was forced to lead. Circumstances however, won't wait for Mick and Quest to be honest with one another. A sequence of events will collide in a final stormy Ramsey onslaught where Quest's and Michaela's marriage could be the casualty.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Lover's Soul!!!!, December 26, 2009

This review is from: A Lover's Soul: The Ramseys Book VII (Paperback)

The final book in the Ramsey saga was the BOMB!! With Quest being my favorite Ramsey, I always wondered what made him the way he was and this book answered all of my questions. Altonya does a great job in tying all of the male Ramsey loose ends togther however leaving a couple of strands as she introduces the "female" Ramsey cousins. I absolutely loved this book even though the Quest and Michaela saga had to end. Can't wait for the Wedding of Countessa and Fernando I know it's gonna be a "hot mess". Excellent read. Anyone looking for a family saga where "Dallas meets Dynasty meets Falcon Crest meets Melrose Place", please start with the first book "A Lover's Dream". You will be hooked for life. Great Job Altonya!!

The final book in this marvelous series does NOT disappoint!! In fact it leaves you still wanting more and more of the Ramseys. I think that this last book is fitting in that it starts and ends with Quest and Michaela.
Lots of lingering questions were answered, but best of all, a new chapter in the Ramsey family saga is starting. "The Cousins" were introduced, so we will definitely be able to continue to follow this unusual and remarkable family. Not to mention that we will soon find out what's going on with County and Fernado and the eagerly awaited wedding will no doubt be full of fun and drama.
Altonya only gets better with each new book!! She leaves you wanting more..so hats off to you Altonya and please keep up the good work..
