Helpful Score: 3

The books in the Blackthorn Brothers trilogy could have been written by three different authors. Book #1 The Taming of the Rake was wonderful, made it to my Top Ten of All Time list. Book #2 a Midsummer's Night Sin was meh - okay. THIS Book #3 Much Ado About Rogues was really painful to finish, a chore to get through. It's title should have been "Much Ado About Nothing" or even better, "Death By Yakking." This hero and heroine never stopped talking. Every thought they have is spoken, every emotion is dissected and analyzed in dialogue. Tons of back story, retold over and over. The hero is dense. When the heroine makes a subtle suggestion, I can almost see the wheels slowly start to churn in the hero's thick noggin, then smack his own forehead and exclaim, 'Why didn't I think of that?" Duh. Yak-yak-yak, non-stop. Save yourselves.
