Time Period: England 1829

Summary: The mysterious Earl of Glencrae arrives in London to kidnap Angelica Cynster and finds himself a willing accomplice.

Unfortunately, the cover of this book is very deceiving. It promises "three heroes, three rescues, three weddings" but fails to mention that it is the final book in a series of three, and contains only one hero and one rescue. The story itself is decent, with a kidnapping, a chase, and a fight to the death. But our lovely lady is gifted with the ability to "know" her true love when she sees him, which leaves little in the romance department. Overall, I liked this story, but the roll calls became tedious and the tiresome. At times I counted over twenty former characters from this author's other books being named in a single paragraph. Having not read all of her books, I found myself both lost and overwhelmed with all of the extraneous characters and they bogged down a decent tale.

Love it or leave it? Leave it.
