This felt like such a different time than the rest of the books. There were no characters in common. Unless I missed it by skipping #2. 1 and 3 had some common people. It was still a good book, but very weird that it didn't didn't feel like part of the series. The similarities between this and parts of the Velvet series by Jude Deveraux were uncanny in my head, maybe because I've read the Velvet books so many times. Strong willed wife, comes and takes over the household responsibilities, knows what she's talking about, husband gets upset that she's changing everything. However, he handled it much better than Gavin. Even down to an angry person and kidnapping? Weird, looking back at it after reading really reminds me of how many similarities there were.
