Key of Valor by Nora Roberts

4.0

A decent ending to the trilogy, though a slight decline in tension from book 2. As in the first book, the danger quotient slides backwards to allow more time for the emotional journey of the leads. While the scenes with Zoe’s son Simon are sweet, there is also an element of unbelievability in how quickly we believe a grown man would attach to a child that he has known for only a month. All that said, Zoe’s grappling with her upbringing is well done and honest. Brad has little to do but admit he’s in love; we never really establish what drew him home, what’s his Uber wealthy family is like, if they’ll accept Zoe…he’s merely there as her romantic foil. But with characters we like, it’s a well plotted finale with a healthy dose of happy endings for all.
