I really enjoyed the first two (in fact I love the uneasy relationship that has sprung up between the ex wife and Sam) but like in any relationship, the gloss is wearing off and we need something else to keep us interested. I've read the next full length Rick/Sam book and it follows the same pattern and even though there does seem to be some type of emotional breakthrough, its a bit too little too late for me.

I was actually pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the historical because I haven't yet liked any of Enoch's historicals - though I really like the Sam/Rick books. In fact, wallpaper aside, I think I liked the first half of this one better then the Sam/Rick half for the very reasons you stated. Their patterns are becoming too repetitive and I came away thinking the next one better not have someone from Sam's past appearing once again to endanger her. I like the dynamic of Rick not being altogether sure of Sam and Sam thinking that she may not fit in Rick's life, but it's been going on too long. Though I will concede the fact that they've only been together 8 mos. Will I read the next Sam/Rick book? Probably. But she may lose me if the pattern repeats.
