Review: Skip this one in the Montbryce Series

I really didn't enjoy this book and was irritated from start to finish. I blame 'Hearts and Crowns' for my recent mission to go back and read the rest of the books in the Montbryce series. I actually really didn't like that book but some of the others weren't bad. This is in the same category as 'Hearts and Crowns' i.e. not worth reading. Basically the h is the spoilt daughter of Ram the original main H of the series. She is allowed to marry for love and hasn't found anyone she likes. She meets the H after he has been badly tortured and maimed and has just lost his wife and unborn child to same people who tortured him. The h is instantly besotted and so begins this 'tortuous' story. She chases after the h at every turn and does everything in her power to follow him virtually to the ends of the earth. The poor guy never stood a chance. He wasn't even given much time to grieve, the poor soul. Some of the situations are totally unrealistic.+++Spoilers+++The thing that really put the nail in the coffin for me was the suggestion that the H's mother was a selkie and so seals are always popping up at various points during the story to do something or other.Don't say you weren't warned.
