Nora Roberts, of all people, should have seen it coming. This is the flaw in the series and in book 3. Love is not always the answer and rejection of abuse, in all forms, must stand. The fact that he destroyed the life of one woman is a shame, but, "The ending always justifies the means, doesn't it?" I say - garbage stinks, no mater how much perfume you apply to it. In book 3, we are asked to put aside an equally abusive man, one who may or may not have had good reasons to destroy the woman who loved him and have pity on the individual, who, after all, was only doing what he had to do. One who forced his wife to fake her own death rather than continue a potentially deadly relationship. In book 1, and a major premise of book 2, we are faced with Evil in the form of an abusive husband.
