The Blessing was disappointing when compared to Ms. Devereaux previous works. I actually had to put it down halfway into it, I was so disappointed. A couple weeks later I finished it out of sheer obligation. It wasn't horrible, it was just not what I was expecting. I understand that there are always a couple of books that don't mesh well with a reader and that was mine. I will continue to read her books though because usually they are 5 stars. :o)
