I love reading and this collection has been outstanding. The ones you can not wait to see what happens next.....then sad when you reach the end. I can not remember when a series has kept me so interested..... Thank you. MS Oakley......
All the characters were fine, but the plot was very slow, the descriptions of various scenes were vague, except for the sexual scenes. Many times I almost just quit reading, but kept hoping for the plot to improve. Not every book just weighs in on the sexual aspects.
Three stories which describe the plight of women during Victorian times. Each one of these women was challenged by life, yet, each one prevailed - with the corresponding amount of steamyness. Quite enjoyablr.
Needs a careful proofread. Multiple word-choice or autocorrect errors, a few misplaced commas. Not enough to interrupt reading flow, but still noticeable.
A great collection, first three books in the Hearts in Hiding series. A mix of romance, scandal and suspense with a good array of interesting characters.
