Query: disappointing yet again...

Sad for me to say, but there was a time when a Lansdowne book was a must have. I would run out and buy them as soon as they were released. With the start of her Nightingale series (which I hated), and continuing on, I have been consistently disappointed. Her stories now seem to be a mish-mash of characters, most of whom fall in love immediately but then little time is spent on their romantic development. Her romances are too sweet valley high. No, I am not looking for erotic stories, but the cloying "sweetness" of all her characters, males and females, the ever present animals, crazy relatives, nutty servants, have been overplayed for me. I guess it is time for me to move on...
