text: Having been a fan since the beginning of this series,always looking forward to next book, was very disappointed with this book. Great lead ins,not enough follow thru. Seems more of someone else writing as the author I have followed for so many years. Far too much material devoted to language,etc. at end of the book. Would have appreciated as much attention in the story as had been displayed years prior . Where the author had .great story lines and interactions, they have become shortened and far more time added to sexual interactions. Far more erotica than story,which is of course the easier route. No more awaiting so anxiously for next installment as I would rather re-read her her earlier works which had substance.
