Heartwishes by Jude Deveraux

I was disappointed in this book by Deveraux.  They are usually a bit better.  The plot line wasn't just predictable, which is common for books with a romance in them.  It was also unexciting and lacking in interest.  Deveraux usually does a better job.

This is another Edilean novel.  It tells the story of a history PhD candidate who gets a job in Edilean doing research to write the Frasier family history.  She finds information regarding a legend about a "heartwishes" stone that grants the wishes of Fraiser family members.  Of course, she also finds romance and love.  Deveraux can usually make her supernatural aspects feel realistic in the story, but in this book the mystery isn't believable and the solving of it is anticlimactic.

There are a couple inappropriate scenes involving descriptions of physical intimacy that are easily skipped over.

This book isn't worth the time.  Try a different book by Deveraux if you're looking for a romantic mystery with a supernatural aspect.
