Summary: I'm sad to see this series end!
Review: This is the final book in the "Men of the Double C" series. Tristan, who was the fifth and youngest Clay comes home to Weaver for his Father's wedding. He meets up with sheltered schoolmarm Hope Leoni, who has always had a crush on him. Something about her draws the famous, wealthy confirmed batchelor who has been linked with beautiful fashion models. More than one gossip and news crew in Weaver are wondering what is going on between them and come up with a few ideas. Even though they have never shared one kiss, Tristan decides to marry her to save her reputation. Hope has a lot of work ahead of her to convince Tristan he is capable of giving her more than his name. This will probably always be one of my favorite mini-series. However, I must admit I was a little dissapointed,(hence the 4 stars) that it didn't have the same passion and feeling of the other books. The first 3 books in the series were so full of passion and other characters. They always referred back to brothers from the previous story so you felt like their stories carried on. In this book, the beloved Double C, is hardly mentioned and you barely here anything from the other brothers. With all this said, I must admit that was all I found lacking. The story, while not as captivating as the others, was still a good read. The last pages were beautifully written and did finally mention the rest of the family and the ranch. As Squire Clay stands back and surveys the family and the land around him, you can't help but feel you are saying bye to an old friend.
