While Grace does provide the happy ending that I was hoping for, it was kind of a boring journey to get there. I did feel sad for Leah. What she's been through is horrific, but once the legal action started up, I zoned out. The story just felt...too normal? I'm not really a fan of weddings, married people problems, or babies, so I'm sure that hindered my enjoyment of this conclusion. There was still the plot involving the secret society beneath the church, but nothing much new was revealed about it other than just how depraved Father Patrick is. When a random Nazi connection was brought up, I just rolled my eyes. It suits the time of the story, but I didn't feel like it fit the story as a whole.
I absolutely loved the original Under Mr. Nolan's Bed, as well as the newly revised Temptation, but I think I could have gone without the sequels. Sure they're dark and twisted, but they didn't pull at my emotions as much as the first book. They didn't really make me consider that fine line between right and wrong like UMNB/Temptation did. I do have to say that while I enjoyed the series over all, the original is still the one I'd choose to reread. It's certainly the most taboo of them all, so I'm not sure what that says about me...
