I did manage to read the whole of the series but a bit disappointed

As a whole it doesn't feel as though the series was properly brought to a conclusion.

Also each time a caracter was reintroduced into the story there was a potted history for them. I found this very annoying and in my opinion unnecessary (ended up skipping these parts )

Dreadful. I always try to read any book I start but this one has been a real challenge. There were moments of intrigue but these were short lived and eventually disappointing. The characters were parodies. I am not tempted to read any more by this author. Not my cup of tea.

The story dragged on a bit but the ending was a lot more exciting

Love this series of books

All the books are gripping and exciting. Could not out this book down. Looking forward to the final book but sad that the story of the Lovedays will end

[Karen Norton]

Another gripping episode

Yet another gripping episode in the Loveday Saga! Can't wait for the next installment in the lives of this family.

Overall this saga isn’t very good. And if this is the final book then it reads as if the author got as bored as I am with the whole sorry lot.

For his historical drama that continues the book series by Kate Tremayne , I have found this to dull to be honest

This is the final book in the Loveday series (book 11). What a fab series, I have thoroughly enjoyed each book from start to finish.
