I consider myself a Nora Roberts fan and I wouldn't have missed reading this because the trilogy needed closure. However, while I felt like the descriptions of community and the action scenes against the bad guy were great, there just wasn't that much romance. The copyright page has it classified as "domestic fiction" rather than romance, so maybe my expectations were off base. You know going in that the leads love each other, and it was never very clear to me exactly why his mark meant that they couldn't be together (it might be bad for their kids?). They each spend time wishing they could be together, then they are together, and there doesn't ever seem to be a negative consequence. The whole romance paradigm of overcoming something (his reluctance, her reluctance, class, age, etc) is just sort of missing.
