Spoiler Alert!!!  Just finished the 3rd book - what a disappointment. Wanted to place my review at the beginning to save others from wasting money on this.  First, it's not even a trilogy, not even remotely.  Each book is literally chopped off at the end and the characters are never heard from again. We never see Tess again after this book, the second book is a snooze fest.  STILL, I kept reading, figuring the story would come together, it didn't.  In the third book, the descendants of these characters are pitiful.  One is a paranoid, friendless backstabbing loner, one is left with a paraplegic father, and the third has had his life long dream stolen twice. We never get answers to the most basic questions, like who is Colin and what is his real story? Amanda and Laura's descendants marry and the fact that they were friends is never mentioned?The love relationships are lame. In each book, the characters fall into each other's arms without any kind of interaction. Tess is paid to sleep with Aaron who then falls in love with her immediately. Laura falls in love with Clive, a guy that sceeved her out when she first met him and distrusted him, Geoff falls in love with Amanda, a woman he thought spoiled and shallow(she is and had a total personality change), and Quinta fell in love with Alan after meeting him once as a teen and not seeing him again for years.At the end, we're left with a story about a wannabe America's Cup contender with a psycho wife, sleeping with a heartless woman, who falls in love immediately with a woman barely out of her teens.I really did not need to waste the time or money to get to a book 3 with such a stupid plot. Ms. Stockbridge has written many books that I've enjoyed. This series is not one of them - it's awful and I'm feeling like a fool for spending money on this garbage.With so many reviews, I'm sure mine will be at the bottom, but if you are still reading, please stay away from this series and look elsewhere so that you don't end up as frustrated as I am!
