    <body><![CDATA[I would give this 4.5 starts if GR would let me! It was a great way to tie up the series, although I think she has left the door open to write further books in the series.

    <body><![CDATA[LOVED this book and could not put it down.  A very dramatic conclusion to the on-going Luxe saga.  There were so many twists that kept me second guessing and curious to the very end....which makes for a very fun and exciting read.<br/><br/>Thoughts on character plots and endings:<br/><br/>Elizab...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66250770">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I so loved this entire series!! Especially Diana and Henry. I was dissapointed with the ending.  Although it mostly left us with complete answers, I feel like their should be more books to fill in the gaps.
