Never Marry a Cowboy Book

It's pretty common for each book in a series to slowly dip down in quality as things progress, and the rogues series is apparently no exception. These characters were... Well, nothing extraordinary. Ashton totters dangerously close to Mary Sue territory, Kit is the stereotypically tortured hunk with a dark secret, and the two of them never did much for me. The story was plodding and anticlimactic, and Ashton's "illness" not only made little sense, it made little appearance, which left me unable to sympathize because no one bothered to get a second or third opinion regarding her prognosis when she not only doesn't get worse, but actually seems to get better. Any man who loves his wife would take her to a doctor or two to see if there's anything more to be done. Kit talks to a doctor, but he doesn't take Ashton along until the end. Then there's Kit's constant attempts to meet death. His maudlin moping fits are enough to drive a monk to drink. Just... Ugh.
