Freedom's Belle (Reardon Brothers #3)

Rating:
Summary: For the Seeker of Adventure and Freedom in all of us!
Review: Drew Reardon defines the word "wanderlust." Although he has declared a life of roaming and freedom, but struggles when an unusual situation puts a single young woman in his path. Although Crysta desires the freedom to make her own choices, she finds fulfillment in teaching, a job which requires roots. The batter between two tenacious, obstinate individuals (who both believe a future with the other is totally unattainable) is amazing and amusing. If you enjoy historical Christian fiction, you must add this to your collection.

Summary: Weak ending
Review: While I enjoyed the first two books in the Reardon Brothers Triology and looked forward to this last book, I am sad to say that disappointment in the last three chapters of the book abound. While it was predictable to a point, the ending did not meet my expectations. The ending of the book was quite far-fetched to say the least. Any of us who read the first two books and remember the portrayal of Drew, the youngest of the Reardon brothers will find that Freedom's Belle did not follow the same path. The entire book up until the end was exactly what we had pictured and contained the detail we love from Dianna Crawford, however, the ending unfortunately overshadowed the great beginning. You would be better off not reading the third book of this triology and keep Dianna's first two as memories of a great story.
