Ratings and reviews

As always I have enjoyed your books and am sorry yet another has come to an end. I love the way they all end up related so the next book I look forward to hearing how some of the others are doing. I hope Val will star in a book nice character.

I liked it but the storyline was kinda slow. I wanted more feeling and passion from the characters. I would've liked an epilogue.

Hard to critique this book. We live in a world with the same problems,
