Becket's Last Stand (A Beckets of Romney Marsh Novel, Book Seven): Kasey Michaels

"The Beckets of Romney Marsh saga continues...

“For years Courtland Becket had denied himself the only woman who stirred his blood, yet he could no longer pretend to ignore the lovely Cassandra. For gone was the girl he had once teased — replaced by a fully grown woman, adamant that they act on their long-denied feelings. It was time for the self-appointed protector of all things Becket to allow himself a taste of the forbidden.

“But passion's price might very well prove too high when an age-old enemy returns to wreak revenge against the entire Becket clan, leaving Courtland torn between his newfound love ... and his duty to the family that means more to him than life itself.”

I HAVE FINALLY FINISHED THE BECKETS OF ROMNEY MARSH SERIES!!! *Input fireworks and cheering children.* This book was probably one of the better ones of the series and it truly was nice to finally get to know Courtland. What was interesting was that the readers get to know Cassandra from her childhood in book one and watch her grow up into a woman with needs and desires. At times, it’s even hard for the reader to consider her grown up because she has been the baby of the family for so long.

Again, there were the editing errors that disappointed me. I would be reading and the story would be going excellently, and then…what…? Is that a typo or am I just not getting this…? It bothered me, there’s really nothing I can do about it.

All-in-all, the final chapters of the book were amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed them. They really brought every one of the Beckets together and it put them all in the places they belonged. Even the epilogue was cute—but I won’t give anything away!

I’m happy to be done with this series—yes, I know I complained a lot—but I think I will actually miss the Beckets and, looking back on it; I liked reading about their adventures a lot. That’s why now—whereas I probably wouldn’t have before—I will tentatively recommend this series. It does have its downfalls with typos, is a little difficult to understand, and there are broken, incomplete, or overly complex sentences, but it was a decent read.
