This final installment confirms that we have all been robbed. Not only was it shorter than any of the others, there were typos, lots of summarizing and "telling" to move the story along without actually "showing" the story unfold, and it ended with a wholly unconvincing, somewhat insulting-to-the-reader about-face by the Ian character who apparently (***spolier***) loved Francesca all along - heck before he even met her! (yah, right) I think Beth Kery ought not to have listened to her publishers when she agreed to serialize this book. It was a cheap way to garner interest and one that I admittedly fell for, but if you're going to do it, for heaven's sake, deliver the goods!Not to mention that if the premise is that you have to read ALL installments to understand the story, it made no sense whatsoever to preview 'Wicked Burn' in SEVEN of the installments. Presumably, we would have read it in at least one of the previous installments. That was just another way to increase the page length of the installment and mislead us into thinking we were getting more of Because You Are Mine than we actually got.Finally, the quality of the writing declined with each installment, and it was clear to me at least that by the end Ms Kery was just trying to get rid of these characters and move on to something else. I've decided to follow her lead and move on to someone else as well. Maybe in about six months or so I'll be over this and buy something else of hers.
