I loved the first part of the book, I really liked Camille trying to be a good teacher and building her new life. I had a lot of problems with the second part of the book - the sex scenes were not good and I didn't like that the hero got the fortune; as if they couldn't be happy without all the money. Still, it was a good book and I enjoyed it very much. ( ) For some reason, this one was a little harder to get into than the first book in the series. I like the characters, I like the story arc, it just took a while to get into. Also, for all that Camille is celebrating her freedom as a single, independent woman, I feel like her casual willingness to go to Joel's rooms is a pretty scandalous choice for the time period. Well, I'm a little concerned. I quite enjoyed the Bedwyn Saga, and then the Simply Quartet a bit less, but still overall quite good. And now I'm two books into this series and haven't really enjoyed either one very much. Usually writers improve as they go and we have a book history together and I like each later series more than the ones before. But this is going in reverse! I hope this is just a two book trend, or at least that it's specific to this particular series and I'll love the next one. I really hate to lose any author I enjoy! I tend to like side characters decently when they're introduced, but then appreciate them more when they later star in their own book, but, though I suppose I do like the heroine more in this book (only because she was absolutely horrid in the first one!), I actually had liked the hero more in his side role as friend in the first book than I did here. This was amazing and what a journey for Camille. I haven’t been reading this series in order so started with the later ones and knew Camille was happy, but when I finally read the first book she seemed pretty irredeemable. I loved reading about her new life and really figuring herself out. Joel had quite a journey too, and I truly adored their HEA. Mary Balogh is going on my faves list right now. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
