Beauty and the Spy - Julie Anne Long

I've just discovered Long, who is proving to be quite a delight! I haven't read her latest, PoP (which I see has its own thread here), but I recently read her debut novel The Runaway Duke (which I had mixed feelings about) and Beauty and the Spy. Now, I had a question about the latter. Is there some significance to the epilogue that comes up again in the trilogy? I know the easiest way to figure that out is just to read the other two books, but I was so pleasantly surprised and intrigued by it that I simply must know!

Also, as much as I'm enjoying Long, I haven't completely been able to get into her stories. I felt like (knowing my own reading tastes) I 'should' have liked TRD more than I did. And in this latest, there were certain details that took me out of the story at times. I'll save my specific complaints for the pet peeves thread. Cool

Why not complain now? I don't mind. Laughing

Overall as a whole, I have liked this author. Some have been better than others. While I enjoyed her trilogy, I didn't like it as much as To Love A Thief. I have to be fair in saying I haven't read her latest, to be honest, didn't even know she had one. I've been doing alot of rereads and not so much new. I did, however, find TRD better than the trilogy too. And sorry it's been a very long time and many books later, I don't remember any epilogue. cheri
