Helpful Score: 2

Again, another cheesy title. This is the story of the black sheep of the family, Lord Jack Knight. I was really intrigued because usually series of romance books dealing with a family go in order of birth - to hand it to Foley, this series does not do that (Jack is the 2nd eldest, but last book) and I found it very refreshing. However, this particular book was not one of her best. Eden was certainly an interesting character and I could understand what drove Jack, so he was not entirely unsympathetic, but this novel dealt more with the stubbornness and misunderstanding between the characters after they discovered they loved each other. As they each struggled with their feelings and the mystery that drew them together they continually messed things up and if there hadn't been outside forces that forced them to see the errors of their ways, they could have screwed up the rest of their lives. That is probably why I didn't like the book because if they had really loved each other then their stubbornness should not have gotten in the way. There are apparently 3 more in the series (although Foley has them as a separate trilogy) dealing with cousins from India. I will probably read these, but certainly not buy them.
