A Question of Lust Questions for a Highlander Volume 3 Angeline Fortin 9781499399714 Books

After mourning her dead first love for five years, Moira sees her friends' happy marriages and decides to move on. She is already twenty-seven and feels her biological clock ticking away. Her current suitor, Lord Aylesbury, would be a perfect husband, and she has almost decided to accept him when. . . her first love returns, alive but tortured by memories of many years of captivity.

She is overjoyed at first, but then recalls that although she has always loved HIM, HE never loved HER back. Her first reaction is to rush her marriage to Lord Aylesbury so that she won't have to suffer through the pangs of having her hopes dashed once again. Her good friends Eve, Kitty, and Abby convince her not to make any rash decisions, but to give Vincent another chance to fall in love with her.

Vincent, however, carries a heavy load of PTSD and undeserved guilt, and Moira is nothing more than his friend, the sister of his best friend. He does, however, notice her beauty and appeal and finds himself constantly lusting for her whenever she is around, which also causes him to feel guilty. For a good part of the book, Moira and Aylesbury are constantly together and Vin believes them married. He is relieved to discover that she is unmarried, but not because he wants to marry her himself--oh no, marriage is not for him, especially not to his friend Jason's sister--but because he selfishly cannot stand the idea of someone else having her.

Okay, this is the part that bothers me about the hero. She tells him she's not in love with Aylesbury because she has been in love with someone else who doesn't return her feelings. . . and Vin is GLAD that she cannot find happiness with Aylesbury or the mysterious man who doesn't appreciate her! He takes her virginity with no intention of marriage (think friends with benefits here), thinks about how they will still be friends when he tires of her sexually (sorry, but no hero should EVER be allowed to think this way in a romance novel), and STILL discourages her from looking for the husband she wants! But the absolute worst is when he refuses to marry her after they are caught in flagrante delicto, knowing that she will either have to marry him or Aylesbury in order to avoid complete and total social ruin.

Apparently Ms. Fortin intends to write sequels for each of the 11 siblings here, so here's to hoping that she will take her time with them and try to avoid making the same errors over and over. I read a lot of historical romance novels and I am an expert on what I do and do not like, and reluctant heroes are a big no-no. Perhaps this one is not quite as bad as Jack in the second book, but it's a big turn-off for me when the women have to go chasing after the men. Another turn-off: when the hero continues to have unprotected sex with the unmarried woman without a single care that she might become pregnant. NOT romantic AT ALL! And frankly, Vin's refusal to allow himself to love Moira goes on way too long. . . so much so that it's not very convincing when--at the very end--he gives in and says the words.

Why do I feel that so many of these ebooks are being put up for sale before the requisite editing that we used to expect? Yes, a certain amount of typos can be ignored, but it after awhile, they stick out like a sore thumb and detract from my enjoyment of the story. It's almost like these authors are putting their rough drafts up for sale. The biggest one here--that had me flipping back pages to see if I had missed something--is when the author slips up and has Vin thinking in his thoughts that Moira is the only unmarried woman in the house when at the time he is supposed to still think she is married to Aylesbury. This is just unacceptable in a book you are asking people to pay for! (All you have to do is get someone else--not your good friend who will skim through it and tell you how wonderful it is--to read through it first and tell you what needs to be corrected.)

This book shares the same problems with anachronistic behavior and dialogue, proper usage of British titles, etc. as the previous two, and these will keep this author from winning awards for her writing unless she (1) does her due research, or (2) moves on to another genre, perhaps contemporaries. Although I'm sure there are plenty of uneducated readers who won't notice such things as the use of mad for angry, and scared for afraid, which will always provide a nasty jolt to those readers who are more familiar with the time period.

Please understand that I say all of this because I believe Ms. Fortin has talent and could be a decent writer of historicals. Unfortunately, too many reviewers don't take the time to give critical and hopefully helpful advice. In spite of the flaws, I did enjoy the book, found myself in tears at the end (due to the story, not the errors), and am still wondering if I will purchase future installments with the hope that the heroes will not be so reluctant and the errors fewer.

A Question of Lust Questions for a Highlander Volume 3 Angeline Fortin 9781499399714 Books Reviews

But really dragged at times and the story may have suffered for all the reflection the hero and heroine went through.
Moira has a chance to make her dream a reality. She's loved Vin all her life and thought he had died in a far away land with her brother. Instead he came home with guilt that was ruining his life. Moira decides to help Vincent regain his life and and hopes to be a part of that life.

Moira's story is a part of a whole circle of four girls who banded together in boarding school. Their friendship affects all their lives and keeps them closer than sisters. Their lives intertwine and becomes a source of hope and strength for all the women as well as the men in their lives. A great story; but start with with the prequel because you'll want to be in on all four of their lives.
This book in a captivating series let me down a little. I still had no problem devouring it but how much, " he loves me. He doesn't love me can one book hold, I ask you? No, it was not my favorite. It also had a rampant amount of spelling and grammatical errors. I was forever having to correct them in my head. Who edits these things? I still gave it a four because I love all of these characters she comes up with.
Wow,I was so let down by Moira and Vin's story, it was nowhere near as good the first 2 in the series and I felt so let down!

I felt there was an attraction between Vin and Moira yes, but not nearly what it should have been, it had the makings of a great love story but just fell so flat! I felt like even the times they were loving eachother it was so one sided and somewhat forced. I actually found myself loving Harry more than I did Vin and felt he was filled with much more passion to say the least! I just hope that If Harry and Fiona get their story it will be up to par with the first 2 in the series and nothing like this one.
This series has been wonderful to read. I highly recommend reading them all and in sequence. I know there are still more books to come and that has me happy and looking forward to the next book. I would have given this book five stars, but aside from the many mistakes in words, there were some blatant mistakes that were not consistent with with things written before and after. One example is after Vin said over and over that he was convinced Moira was already married. Then he asks himself why he was so attracted to her and puts it down to the fact that Moira and Fiona were the only women that were not married. Then goes back to saying Moira was married. I am still glad I read this book, because I think it was the best in this series.

I didn't read the first two books in this series, and even though I'm sure I missed some of the other family members love stories, it didn't seem to take away from this story. I really love a good tortured hero love story, so when I read the plot line here I had to read this book. Besides that, I have read a couple of other Angeline Fortin novels and enjoyed them immensely. So I was all set to love this book....and I did really like it, but there were some issues that stopped me from actually loving it. First of all, there were some editing issues, misspelled and omitted words here and there. Then I just felt as though the hero didn't connect the dots for way too long. It dragged on a bit at that point. I felt an emotional connection to the characters...very strongly in the first half of the book but it began to wane as the tale continued. By the end, I just wanted to see it finished. However, I do still recommend this novel. It had enough good things going for it that kept me entertained and involved. My heart went out to Vin and what he suffered as a prisoner of war and I also felt Moira's pain of unrequited love. The erotic scenes were scorching hot, a good thing in my opinion. Some editing could take this from a good story to a great one.
After mourning her dead first love for five years, Moira sees her friends' happy marriages and decides to move on. She is already twenty-seven and feels her biological clock ticking away.
