I received a copy of Three from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Three is the third book in Jane Blythe's Count to Ten series, I absolutely loved One and Two so was very exciting and optimistic to finally read Three. It had however been about a year since I read One and Two, so I was essentially reading this without any prior knowledge. As I read, major plot points and characters did come back to me, which was quite a nice experience.

The frequent use of ‘cupcake’ as a term of endearment made me cringe every single time. There was something about a fully-grown man calling his girlfriend ‘cupcake’ just smacked of insincerity. It also made me wonder about the age difference between the police officer and woman in both couples.

I must admit, I was getting a little bored during the first half of the novel but the plot really kicked in about half way through and I sped through the second half. The plots from One and Two fit together so well and this merging provided a lot of possibilities for the rest of the series.

Again, I am worried about whether Jane Blythe is going to keep this up for another seven full length novels, but I am so excited to find out!
