Enjoyable story...as the last of the trilogy tied the other two into the ending rather too neatly

Well written as are almost all of Nora Roberts books...love the plot twist..although I saw it coming for a while. Worth the time to read.

I have not read a Julia Quinn book that I did not like. This was a little confusing because the heroine is named Bridgerton and she marries a Rokesby, but it all works out in the end. It's a fun book and an enjoyable read.

Interesting story. I love the way Nora Roberts mind works and the things she is able to put on paper. Here she was able to describe a very sick man in accurate detail and how that man effects everyone around him.
The family dynamics are portrayed with surprising accuracy.

Well written, fast paced, easy read. I recommend the whole series, each book is a stand alone story but together the story lines are enhanced.

Interesting concept..follows nicely after Men of Roxbury book 1 but it is not necessary to read the first to enjoy the second. There were one or two moments of "what would that really happen in 1891 London??" but on the whole a good read.

Good book. Follows the life and loves of a family that pulls together despite their differences.
This book is best read after No Place Like Home which sets the stage and provides and clarifies the family dynamics.
Neither book flows as smoothly as most of Fern's books but still a good study in family.

The Sisterhood series is one of the best series I have ever read. Fast paced, funny and sometimes a bit of tears. I recommend it fully.

Excellant read...always enjoy reading about someone less than perfect that comes out the winner in the end.....was somewhat disappointed that it did not offer more follow up on the second book and the goings on with his sister

A little slow to start but as always action packed and the good guys win out...a loose end, I think, that may have been better resolved.

Excellent imaginative out of this world story full of madness and mayhem. Coulter and Ellison seem to feed off each other and produce thrill a minute stories.

A good series.....one must read the first two books first for this one to make sense...I did enjoy the series but felt this book was more "out there" than the other two..however I have come to expect that from Nora Roberts and that is exactly why I read her books

Excellent trilogy. All the books are stand alone but it makes sense to read them in order.
Book 3 cleanly wraps up any and all issues created in the first two books. I always like it when a story answers all the questions created during the telling of the story.
This story line, to me, even though written some years earlier has some parallels to the craziness of recent years.
As usual Nora Roberts does not disappoint.

Nice wrap up of the story that developed in the first two books....really should read them in order although they are acceptable stand alone stories, having the background really helps and adds to the enjoyment of the book....was a bit upset to find that there is another book in the series.

Very well written story that follows several people, for years, after a mall shooting.
How each reacts to the trauma and aftermath explores the many ways people respond to such an event.
Well worth the reading time.
