Books one and three each had something about  them that I didn't care for.  In book one, The Countess, it repeated a lot - "you leave, no you leave" it got old.  In book 3, the character of Esmeraude was a spoiled brat.  She did grow on me in the end and the book had an exciting ending as did book 1.  But in book 2, The Beauty, it was perfect!  I loved the storyline, the character's and had more suspense, it kept you guessing until the end.  Some questions in book 3 were never explained, (not going to spoil it), but one was why was the holding given to Esmeraude and not the child of Duncan  (in the beginning of the Bride Quest). Also, I would have liked more explanation of Finlay (won't give it away).  These books can be read separate, but is richer to read as a set, since you have cross over character's. But, if you only want to read one, and not purchase the bundle, buy The Beauty - AWESOME! (ljb)
