The Wayward One Danelle Harmon
5 Star Review
I had waited a long time for the final book in the De Montefortes series and often when this happens it winds up being an utter let down but not this time. I love these siblings and was so happy Lucien played a major role. The biggest opponent he faced was his youngest sister, Nerissa. She proved herself worthy of the Dr Montfortes name and couldn't have been in better hands than with her captor/captain/champion, Ruaidri.
The story spanned from London to Boston and was a beautifully written adventure. I really never had the feeling that Nerissa was spoiled, I could tell her strong spirit from the get go. No one could match her as well as Ruaidri. She needed someone as, if not, more stubborn than her.
I was disappointed that there was not an epilogue but not enough to take away from a 5 star review. I will put in a plug for a complete reunion epilogue though!

Well done Ashlyn Macnamara, you are consistent in the quality of your writing which makes for an easy auto buy! As always the characters are well developed. Their background, hang-ups and reasoning behind their actions are made clear yet concise.
Dysart was a hero through and through and Lizzy was a good fit for him although the only reason this book is rated as a 4 instead of 5 is that she even considered anyone other than him for a moment.

I will preface this review by saying I hate the
instant love/hurry to bed by the first chapter type of romances. This seems to
be an easy way out of building a story. I never develop the need to know more
about the characters when this is the plot line and it was exactly what
happened in this case. Matt and Grace did nothing for me and didn't buy the
angst of the story being the worry over her retaining guardianship of her
siblings. It was a hurried start of a story and I was in as much of a rush to
have it over with.

While this wasn't my favorite book of the series,
Isabella Bradford still did an amazing job with the story of Rivers and Lucia.
I was up all night reading because I can't resist a "My Fair Lady"
story. It differed in that Lucia did not need much help and Rivers quickly
realized what a gem he had. I loved when characters are flawed and River's
botching up so many conversations with Lucia was one of them. Faster than in
most books of this genre, the main characters confessed their love for each
other. This made most of the story heart-wrenching but oh so lovely (hence
staying up all night). The only draw back in this is I wish the epilogue (which
was satisfying) was still a bit longer to counter all that time they didn't
think their relationship could continue on a permanent level. Lovely!

There are too many holes in this story to be able to enjoy it. The pacing is all over the place, the characters change their feelings back and forth in a dime with no explanation of why. Because of all of these flaws I never felt any connection between Bea and Michael. This was a struggle to get through.
