I was so glad to see you post today, because I did this as a "scheduled post," and so I had just about decided that something had gone wrong and this must not have shown up on anyone's friends page! Heh.
(Though much fun to be had reading the reviews on Goodreads and counting the number of Disgusting! comments.)
! I can imagine...
The age gap still didn't bother me, but the fact that Fawn had fibbed (for perfectly understandable reasons), and that both of them are amused by it and then move on, did a little.
Agreed. It makes sense that Fawn would have made herself out to be older than she was at first, setting off for her new life with her child. But it might have been a good thing for her to come clean with Dag once things were getting serious there. On the other hand, as a plot device, finding out that Fawn was younger than we/Dag thought did help mitigate her shock at learning his age -- I liked that shared-laugh moment, too.
I felt as if she'd come to realize that there were two books (or even four) to be told here
My copy of Beguilement actually says on it, "First part of a two-part series," or somesuch. So maybe only the first two books were planned at first? But in some ways, it seems that Beguilement and Legacy should have been in the same volume.
I loved the West Blue scenes, too -- I just think they might have made more sense as the middle of a book, rather than an ending. ;)
