I loved the three previous books in this series and have been eagerly awaiting the release of the "The Reckless Bride". Much to my dismay, I found the book disappointing on many levels. The first three-quarters of the book involve sailing along the river in a boat and stopping for the occasional church-tour which adds up to monotony! Initially, there is very little interaction or discussion about the Black Cobra colt. I found myself skimming paragraphs and flipping ahead looking for more interesting storylines. The heroine in this story is lacking. She is difficult to relate to and her backstory is not particularly compelling. Also, her on-again/off-again/on-again feeling towards the hero border on annoying and contribute to some of the books' monotony. The book improves during the last quarter where we finally see some of the past characters and the Black Cobra storyline come more directly into play, but by the time you get there, this tale feels like a long and boring read. My advice: manage your expectations with this book. Those of you who have read the series will still want to read the book to see how it turns out, but don't expect much.The Reckless Bride
