Do You like book Three Little Secrets (2006)?
I have never read this author before, and I guess I read the series out of order. But I owned this book and decided to give it a go. I was surprised at how good it was. I guess I've gotten spoiled with Amanda Quick books. It was a little long, and perhaps a little could have been cut, but not much. It flowed very nicely and I liked the story. I also liked the characters. I would definitely recommend this book to historical romance lovers. A small bit of this book takes place in Scotland and the hero is from there; but a large part takes place in London.

I think Liz Carlyle is a fabulous writer and this story was really entertaining. I cried at their sorrow, I rejoiced at their coming together. Merrick was one of the darkest souls I met in book one, seeing him finally reunite with Maddie was lovely. They both had been through so much. It just annoyed me that an error at the start of the book had the maid called Eliza. Thus I went through the book expecting her present maid Eliza to be the villain when it was just a mistake and the name should have been Flora. I really liked the son, and seeing him find peace with his great-grand-mother who also had the sight was nicely done.

4.5 StarsThis is definately my favourite in the Sins, Lies & Secrets trilogy, although the other two were good, espcially One Little Sin, I have been most drawn to Merrick MacLachlan from the beginning and looked forward to finding out about his secrets and past.This was basically a book about a massive misunderstanding that has kept the two lovers apart from 13 years. I don't normally like books that are based on such things, but I found myself really enjoying reading this and sympathy on both sides for all that they had been through. As with Liz Carlyle's other books in this trilogy the writing is really good, engaging and intelligent and she manages to make the dialogue just right, formal enough that you know they are from a different time period but not s bogged down that it takes you ages to decipher a sentence. I really liked this series and I will be seeking other works by Liz Carlyle in the future.
