Renee has so much to uncover and Isaac and his sisters have a lot to explain. The mystery surrounding Renee's parents and why they were sending money to Isaac still needs to be solved. What contract does Isaac have with Renee's parents and does it have anything to do with Renee and Isaac's past. The intrigue in finding out the truth is alive and well. What will happen next and how much will be revealed in book four. Truly a great read.

I've read the first three books and so far not impressed. Story line is interesting and characters are developed nicely. However, the way each book abruptly ends, sometimes in mid conversation between characters is extremely frustrating and seriously detracts from how good the story really is.
