This review is from: Man ... Mercenary ... Monarch : Royally Wed (Silhouette Special Edition No. 1303) (Special Edition, 1303) (Paperback)

My family and I anticipated the conclusion of this series. Even though the previous book was a disappointment, there was still hope! Let me tell you that the first 36 pages of the book killed that hope right quick! Only one out of the three readers in this house made it to the end of the book (and she cheats!). I agree with all the previous reviews although I believe that some were too nice. The book left me with two burning questions: 1. It's obvious the author didn't read any of the previous books, but isn't there anyone who has oversight over the entire series?(I say let's line 'em all up!) 2. What's the best way to get this book out of my house? I find it almost impossible to throw a book into the trash, but, in this case, it would be morally reprehensible to perpetuate it on the used book shelves. BEWARE! (And by the way, that one star wasn't my idea.)

2.0 out of 5 stars Too many questions left unanswered, February 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Man ... Mercenary ... Monarch : Royally Wed (Silhouette Special Edition No. 1303) (Special Edition, 1303) (Paperback)

I eagerly looked forward to this last book of the series. At last the family would be reunited with their missing son. But there were a lot of threads dropped that left me feeling very dissatisfied. In the previous books, the sisters didn't want to tell their parents they were looking for their missing brother so they could suprise their parents at the 20th Anniversary Celebration of their father's coronation. Yet in this book, both the parents know about their daughters' search. There is one scene with the hero and his father, but we never see the reunion between mother and son! Also, the author brings in the sisters from the previous books, then has their reunions take place off stage. The power and drama of this series came from the expectation of a tearful reunion with the family. The author disappoints in this respect. The only reason I bought every book was in anticipation of the parents' surprise when they were reunited with their son at the 20th Anniversary Ceremony. One wonders if this author read any of the previous books in the series herself.

This review is from: Man ... Mercenary ... Monarch : Royally Wed (Silhouette Special Edition No. 1303) (Special Edition, 1303) (Paperback)

My expectations were set high by the prior books in the series. Unfortunately, this book did not meet my expectations. Too many details were left outstanding. Why bring the infant into the story? Why no discussion of the affect of his prior occupation? Although we know that he moves back to the kingdom, does he assume his title or will it pass to his son? This book needed closure!
