Hurray, Francesca is back! In this long-anticipated 9th (and quite possibly the final) installment of the Deadly series, she finally is set to marry Calder Hart but unintentionally misses her wedding. While busy doing what she does best--sleuthing--Francesca tries to make up for hurting Hart and convince him to reconcile. It's a slow and frustrating process, mostly because Hart is angry over the jilt and stubbornly believes his half brother, Rick Bragg, is better suited for her. This slows their romance somewhat but they do share some rather romantic moments although these scenes are not very sensual and are way too brief. It's also wonderful to revisit a favorite cast of characters. We get to see what happens with Rick and Leigh Ann, and Evan and Maggie. However, I do feel that the mystery solving was rushed at the ending and it wasn't very satisfying. But for me the mystery was a minor point; the main appeal was always Francesca and Hart. 4 stars.
