Destined to take his place in his family’s bank, Chance is content with the future that’s been mapped out for him, right down to his upcoming engagement to a prim debutante. Full-Speed-Ahead? The forecast is smooth sailing for Oliver Chancellor, one of Galveston’s premier financier. Slow and Steady finds himself on a collision course with Ms. No matter she resolved the storyline in the end, the people involved, should NEVER have made the choices they did in book 3 if the lessons learned in book 1 and 2 were even slightly real to the author. 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.
