Summary: 5th book of the Malory Series
Comment: First off, here is the series in sequence: 1. Love Only Once 2. Tender Rebel 3. Gentle Rogue 4. The Magic of You 5. Say You Love Me 6. The Present: The Malory Holiday Novel
I was really looking forward in reading Derek's story that I took this book with me in a long flight from L.A to Hong Kong. To my dismay, this book made me fall asleep more than I can count. The beginning was quite interesting, then things started to fall apart.... WHY? Here's why: I have notice that all books in this Malory series (except for the first one) contains lots of repetitive informations. There were times I had to skip parts wherein a Malory or two will start discussing the story or happenings of the previous books, sorta like a short summarization for those who have not read it. For readers like me who have read the series in sequence, It's useless info. and i won't lose anything to skip it... At first, this style of writing didn't seem to bother me but when I got to the third book of the series, the summarization of the first two books was getting to me. Imagine my restlessness when i was reading the 4th and the 5th book (which unfortunately happened to be Derek's story)! I skipped more parts in this book cuz I didn't need to read the summary of the 4 previous books which i have already read. All this useless (in my opinion) summarizations, overshadowed Derek and Kelsey's story. Ms. Lindsey should have concentrated on detailing their characters (esp. Kelsey) and building up their relationship with each other. This is the main reason why I rated this book quite low, there was sooo many summarizations of the previous books! No doubt, It was great to read UPDATES of the Malory characters in the previous books, i liked that part but i think there is no need to summarize each couple's story.
Derek and Kelsey's love story have some potentials... Their story was quite sad compared to the other Malory's yet I wasn't convince and drawn to them like I should. I really tried to like this book. In fact, I kept picking it up after putting it down for an hour or two... But even after skipping some parts, it still doesn't peak my interest. Derek's strong profile seemed to fade and Kelsey, being pictured as a strong level headed girl, also seemed weak and often times insecure & confuse. Perhaps it is the situation and the contradictory occurances that made this book so unconvincing or perhaps lack of detailing and building up... or perhaps it's simply the too many summarizations of the previous books that turned me off from this book. It's just too bad cuz Derek was one of my favorite Malory too. Oh well, there is many people who rated this book a 4 and 5 stars so perhaps you might like it more than I have. So pick it up and decide for yourself. PLUS, this book if part of the Malory series. If u started the series, you'll have to read this one too.

Summary: Wonderful! Love those Malorys.
Comment: The entire series seems to just keep getting better and better. Tender Rebel will always be my favorite, but I really liked this one too. I only wish that Kelsey's character had been more developed. She's almost overshadowed by the Malory clan and seems kind of silly at times. In fact, the story didn't really seem to pick up until James and Anthony became involved in the dialog. Even Nicholas Eden did alot to pull the story along. The involvement of all the surrounding characters was actually more interesting than the relationship between Derek Malory and Kelsey Langton, but that didn't bother me overly much because it was still a good story. The ending left me wanting to know more about Jason Malory and Molly. Not about where they might go from here, but about when they first met and were all living at Haverston. I'm also extremely interested in the hinted-at story between Melissa Malory and Thomas Ashton. It sounds like it could be quite a tale. My thanks to Lindsey. She's got quite a gift.

Summary: I juz simiply love the Malory Family!
Comment: This is the very 1st books of Ms Lindsey's novel which I started off. In fact I started to love her Malory novel series. I just simply love the stories how Kelsey and Derek met each other - so romantic... I will definate continue to finish the rest of the other malory's series and currently I'm on my way to finish 'Love Only Once' which consist of stories about how Reggie met Nicky, its quite a comedy!
