WILL YOU MARRY ME?

Could she really ask this man to marry her? Sarah Ann Dempsey approached him. Determined jaw ... wide shoulders ... pure masculinity. Suddenly a glistening drop of moisture trickled from the handsome man's navel and disappeared beneath the low-slung waistband of well-worn jeans. And from the length of his outstretched legs, she knew that Gabe would make the perfect groom....

A follow up to Jewel of Atlantis.

• Very good read.

Because this is the story of Megan Hardaway, the oldest sister, I knew it would involve the return of her missing son. (It says so on the back!)  Her estranged husband, Navy SEAL Noah Carson, also comes back when he hears the news. Now if you love a good suspense book with a stalker and a good fight scene, then this book is for you. But there were so many sub-plots to play out from Book 1 & 2 that needed to be tied up, that I felt the romance level suffered.

Still, I wanted to see how it all turned out and I'm very glad I read the book. It had a very satisfying conclusion to the series.

Amy Hardaway stayed in her hometown instead of moving away like her sisters. She doesn't realize she's nursing an old crush on the man who eventually married and divorced her sister. But now he's back. And his attraction to Amy flares up old feelings. She can't get involved with her sister's ex-husband --- can she?

Jon Costas is beginning to think he married the wrong sister all those years ago. Can he convince his family that getting involved with another Hardaway sister won't leave him brokenhearted - again?

Talk about a dysfunctional family! This trilogy takes the cake but it's a good read!

Heather is good at layering stories. You've got three or four different things going on in the story and you're trying to figure them all out at once. But she does it well, you're not left feeling overwhelmed with information,
