My thoughts:

I read the first two of the Grand Tour series and I'm sad to say I just didn't get into the second and third like I did the first. There is a lot in this book: action, drama (lots of drama), suspense, romance (the part I dislike), smarts, cunning, etc. 

I found I didn't actually like the main characters much by the third book. I did feel they were fairly realistic in their actions and the thoughts they had, which we were privy to thanks to Lisa. I just didn't care for any of them. Also, in this third book I didn't get as into the 'tour' as much as the first book. I felt like I was actually there in the first, not so much in the second and very little in the third. 

Bottom line: I didn't really like this book. Of course, many others have so if you are in the market for a romance with drama and 'smarts', with bits of history tossed in, you might enjoy this.
