I was just not able to find much of anything positive in this book.  It DRAGGED on and on and on and on and on....  So many descriptions were repetitive it was ridiculous.  The language used was so modern--except for any church related parts, and even then it wasn't totally consistent.  I'm not sure why a minister would have talked so differently from the "common folk," especially when the point was made that the brothers were brought up to be "gentlemen."The idea of the story was good--brothers in England leave their power-hungry step-brother after their parents die, find a new home and "father" in Virginia, one gets married and loses his wife, their "father" dies, and they marry identical twins.I laughed when at the end the author stated she "fell in love with Jamestown and the Colonial Williamsburg area..."  Well, I've been there, and those people, while in character, did not talk like the characters in the book--and Colonial Williamsburg came after the setting in this book.I will not be buying the next two books in this trilogy.
