Blog Tour: Her Loving Husband's Curse by Meredith Allard

Author: Meredith Allard

Publisher: Copperfield Press

Date of publication: April 2012

Finally, after many long and lonely years, James Wentworth’s life is falling into place. Together with his wife, Sarah, the only woman he has ever loved, he has found the meaning behind her nightmares about the Salem Witch Trials and now they are rebuilding the life they began together so long ago.

But the past is never far behind for the Wentworths. While Sarah is haunted by new visions, now about the baby she carried over three hundred years before, James is confronted with painful memories from his time with the Cherokee on the Trail of Tears.

Through it all, the persistent reporter Kenneth Hempel reappears, still determined to prove that the undead walk the earth. If Hempel succeeds in his quest, James and Sarah will suffer. Will the curse of the vampire prevent James and Sarah from living their happily ever after?

Her Loving Husband's Curse is the sequel to Her Dear and Loving Husband . It continues the story of Sarah and James from the first book. In this one, they are married and trying to build a life together. But exposure of James' true nature threatens to crumble their happiness. I was happy to see that they were able to expand their family with the addition of little Grace.

While I really enjoyed the first one, I found this one harder to get into and it was a bit slow. I felt like the couple was in a good place when the first book ended and this one just added more strife and pain to the story. I found the historical parts about the Trail of Tears to be interesting though and it added a lot to the book . The book ends with things unresolved and since I'm not a big fan of cliffhangers, I wasn't satisfied with it this time around. I often find that the second book in a trilogy leaves me unsatisfied because I want to see the end. I just have to trust in the author that this couple gets their ultimate HEA in the final book, Her Loving Husband's Return.
