Charity's Cross (Charles Towne Belles, Bk 4)

I was really excited about this book because I really liked the first three in the series, but I was disappointed because of two things.
The first is its inconsistency with the first book: In "The Red Siren" (which I highly recommend), it is clearly stated that Charity's father forced her into marriage with an abusive and unfaithful man, while in "Charity's Cross" the story is that he begrudgingly gave his blessing to the union because of Charity's infatuation with the seemingly charming suitor. I feel this creates an entirely different dynamic and completely changes that characterization of the father.
The second disappointment is smaller, but I really hoped to see a return of two characters who were introduced in "The Blue Enchantress." (I had this same disappointment with "The Raven Saint.")
