Review: Best of the three
Rating: 4 out of 5

Gorgeous covers, engaging characters, well paced story telling, creative dialog, attention to detail,  plus darling secondary characters with villains that are really rotten earn these books Precious Space on my Keeper's List.I love books with more than one story in them, especially romances, best when it's not some novella that is a glorified epilogue.  That the main characters are not titled, in positions of power, wealth or former villains is like a hot fudge Sunday on a summer evening, perfect.  This is a full length novel with complete, entwined stories.  I love it best of the three and will never read the epilogue again.The entwined lives with the coming and going of Important Folks made this a Keeper for me.  The Villain is surprising and chilling, the characters consistent, the ending bittersweet and yes, I sniveled.  I've already re-read the book and expect to do so again.  Ms. Harrison surprised me.  She so thoroughly mastered the balance of amusing friendship and loving commitment with humor and a bit of tomfoolery plus the action packed moments that this book caught me off guard.  Exploring the characters that were "ordinary people" in times that seem extraordinary to us; she held me as firmly as her lighter prose.Alas, I must agree with others that there are some editing errors that cost these books a star each. But even so, I recommend all three of these books, separately, in order or out of order.  I think you'll enjoy the Traditional Feel as well as the Rational Differences.Read my complete review of all three books at pagetraveler dot blogspot dot com/2014/06/inconvenient-trilogy-by-audrey-harrison.html
