Review: I confess I was intrigued by this Modern Masters of Their Castle series by Susan Carlisle. I made the mistake of getting book three first instead of book one, and while it can be perfectly read as a stand alone, I have to say was a bit disappointed. 

The idea behind the story is good and had potential, but it deserved better editing. Some sentences are repeated almost word for word in different pages, there are typos here and there and a few plot glitches too.

Not bad, but not all that great either. I am curious about the previous books, though, so I will give them a try and post reviews as soon as I finish them.

Happy readings otherwise!
