I think Dallas' and Cordelia's story would hold up the best (most likely) - but my favorite was always the last book, Austin's - which, I know, is totally contrary since I think I'm the ONLY reader alive who feels that way. But I wonder how much of it was me reading the series back-to-back-to-back and by book 3 I was so sucked in that I was extra predisposed to loving it?<br /><br />I'm glad I read this, but it just didn't capture the same magic as the original trilogy (for me) and after 20 years I'm wondering if Heath should have just left well enough alone....Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-81042606249105991792019-02-15T02:07:07.912-08:002019-02-15T02:07:07.912-08:00I loved Dallas and Cordelia's story...

It was my favorite of the trilogy.<br />But although I certainly haven't read the trilogy as long ago as you, I didn't remember Rawley until your post.

We've had 20 years (!!!) to build up Rawley's romance in our heads. <br /><br />I've been thinking about this: Would I have felt the same way about this novella had I just read the trilogy? Or had read it in recent memory? Yes and no. I think my issues would still have been the same, but I might have been a bit more lenient and gone with a B- grade instead.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-993845228119767452019-02-11T19:42:42.030-08:002019-02-11T19:42:42.030-08:00When you mentioned this one in the upcoming unusua...When you mentioned this one in the upcoming unusual historical post earlier, my emotions did basically the same rollercoaster ride as yours: elation (Rawley, finally!), pause (shit, a novella? after a two decades long wait?), hesitation (twenty years is a LONG ASS time between stories, this is not likely to be a good thing after all).<br /><br />(TBH, this reminded me of Nora Roberts going back to the Chesapeake trilogy and writing Seth's story years later, and how much it annoyed me, up to and including the bad guy miraculously showing up however many years later)<br /><br />Sadly, for the sake of nostalgia, I'll pass this one up.aztecladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14857872357667370906noreply@blogger.com
