It really pains me to give a two-star rating to any author, especially to one I so admire. First, let me say how stunning the cover art is. I love the colors and wish it was a painting on my wall. Second, if you read my reviews for the other two books in this trilogy, you'll understand this rating. I enjoyed the coziness surrounding Branna's home and work, but I was disappointed. There was too much dialogue and most of it was repeated by every character in nearly the same fashion. That and the predictability are my biggest complaints. I wish Nora Roberts had written about a couple of things she glossed over and made the final battle (which was exciting) a little longer. I still am in awe of her, though, and I don't think that'll ever change!
