Review: Short and almost too sweet
Rating: 3 out of 5

As a stand-alone story, this book is a wonderful read.  Short, but sweet.  If you're a reader of The Brotherhood of the Scottish Templars, you'll be slightly disappointed, though, with this 3rd installment.The first two books in the series are action packed and feature Indiana-Jones-like quests.  This one?  Ehhhh.......nothing.  After reading the others, I expected this one to be more of the same so I was left feeling like something was drastically missing.If I hadn't had these expectations, though, I would've probably enjoyed it.  Lucius is a man fresh from the battlefield who now must fight his inner wars.  Elizabeth is a woman left alone in the world.  Their story is warm and fuzzy---but it feels like we missed the best parts.Where was the struggle?  Even the villian in the book is sorely underdeveloped.  Everything is just rushed through.  So while I gave her other two of the series 5 stars, this one only gets 3.
