Château in the Palms

Second good Harlequin in a row. You don't get to know the hero that much for most of the book, but the ending is a bittersweet dream. There's genuine sadness with this one, quite emotional. The children are delights and the heroine a joy. It's not fast paced and I wanted her to reveal the truth already - why, oh why, do they keep up lies that will come and bite them in the face during the finale? Don't they know how much this frustrates me, and how much aggravation it will cause? Either way, this one has an almost gothic touch complete with castle, brooding hero, and sinister companions.
