Helpful Score: 1
Margaret/Lucinda was a multifaceted heroine, and her stories were equally traumatic, fascinating and entertaining. She was a survivor, but her gutsy attitude wasn't obnoxious. Tait was a true protective-type hero, the kind who loved her from the sidelines. And he was human: sensitive and strong, yet only able to do so much. The story sped along up until a little over half-way when it bogged down as Lucinda met up with Maddie, Edwina, and Pru on the train and then tried to catch up with the previous Runaway Brides novels. However, things picked up again when the villain from Luce's past came into Heartbreak Creek. For me the most poignant scene was when Lucinda was trying to reconcile her early childhood self and Tait told her how to come to peace with that young girl. Beautiful. But my one big gripe was with Pru and Thomas' choppy, half-baked story. Don't they get their very own novel? I was supposed to be satisfied with that sorry excuse of an epilogue? The way it stands, I'm not sure if the series ends now or if Pru and Thomas actually do get to tell their tale. And for that, I drop my rating down to somewhere between 3.5 and four stars.
