I absolutely loved the first book 'The Magic of Highland Dragons' and was disappointed with the second. I put off reading this the 3rd and final book in the series because of the reviews.+++Minor Spoilers+++I have to say that I'm glad I read it and I do think the author had some great ideas with this series. I still wonder how she let her standards drop because the first book was just so good. Perhaps it was due to deadline pressures. Anyway this book was about the wild and womanising third brother who now finds his mate. It was quite a thing to try and get us, the readers, to believe in his commitment to only one woman. I don't think the author did a bad job of getting us to believe it.What I didn't enjoy:I know that this H was a womanising, man wh*re but it truly became irritating once again (like in the second book) to read of all his sexual thoughts continuously. Honestly I could have lived without hearing how hard he was every time he saw, thought, dreamt about the h. This is the big difference between the first book and this one. I wish the author had spent more time developing the storyline, which is really quite good and interesting. Although I didn't mind the brevity of the final scenes with the villain, perhaps it would've been better to devote more attention to that and less time to the H's private parts.Another minor irritation is the the author's skewed sense of time. We know from the second book that the H in this book was already out looking for the charm (and therefore finds his h too) in this book. Yet a few short weeks later he returns to his home with the h and his nephews have already been born. It's these small details that make the difference between an average and a really good book.
