Jean Hart Stewart continues these remarkably human tales of the Druids. It seems like the men in the family all have something in common. They're handsome, stubborn and macho to a fault until they meet their mate. Even then in these well written stories, their pride is almost their downfall. In this tale I have to shake my head at times. If I were Jamie's mother I think I would have taken him over my knee even at the ripe age of thirty-three for his refusal to grow up. The character of Mama V, the family matriarch, is a much kinder soul than I might be under the circumstances!

Aiden Thomas' story, that of a young artist whose family wants him to work, giving them half his money instead of following his heart and talent, adds a lot to the book. It helps show what lengths the Druids and their friends will go to in helping others. The mystery throughout builds my curiosity and has a welcome ending as the bad guys get what they deserve.

I continue to enjoy each of these stories immensely. Ms. Hart Stewart builds excellent tales of contrast between human beings at their best and their worst. Jamie is both a cocky, egotistical, self centered man and a warm, caring, loving human being. I'm glad the author continues to show that love can win out no matter what frailties of character come with human nature!
