The Trader's Dream: The Traders, Book 3

Interesting story line, when finished one of the books in the series, went straight onto next book ...

Like the first two books in this series The Trader's Dream was very engaging and engrossing. This one had a bit more history tied in with the opening of the Suez Canal. I loved reading about the development of relationships, between Maura and the children, then Maura and Hugh and of course, once they reached Australia the relationship between Bram and his newly arrived family members. It was also interesting to see Rory again, and seeing he has a good side to him and isn't as bad a person as he was in the last book. The book felt like an ending to the series, I think it was supposed to be only three books, but I am happy that it will carry on for two more stories because I am not ready to let this characters go just yet.

I just loved this book Maura was a wonderful family member to have taken care of the children and taken them to Bram in Australia and meeting such a lovely man Hugh and his daughter Adele to help her along the way.I felt quite sad for Dougal he was very lonely I'm hoping thing's will change for him at some later time.I hope we will know more in the next book.

The third book in the Traders series focuses on Bram's aunt, Maura, a spinster who finds herself having to take in her nieces and nephew after a fever sweeps through their village, killing the rest of their family. She decides to take them to Bram in Australia, but something which starts out as a chore soon turns into love and she is left with a difficult decision.I really enjoyed this book, although most of it was about their journey on the ship, but the author has a way of making even the most mundane day-to-day things seem interesting! Another must read and am looking forward to reading the last two books in the series.

Roger is always extremely helpful, professional and courteous. He always goes the extra mile to ensure that he can deliver on your order. He is a lovely gentleman who takes his work seriously. Can't say enough good things about this supplier.

Anna Jacobs is the best storyteller bar none!I have read all of her books and eagerly await each new release as I know she will have me gripped from the first page.The Trader Series was no exception. I like the way she keeps the original characters alive through each of the books while concentrating on new additions each time, she leaves a thread through each book which is linked to the previous one. You can read them individually but it is so much nicer to read all 3 in order,todiscover what happens to your "old friends" from the previous novel. Highly recommended.

Yet another brilliant read from Anna Jacobs. As is the norm with Anna's books I was hooked from Page 1 and really wished I could have sat and read it in one go. This is another great series full of interesting characters....and what a lovely man Bram Deagan is! It also gives you a great insight into the kind of lives the early Australian inhabitants had. I am already impatient for the next in the series, but also sad because it will be the last one. Don't miss reading this series of books.

I chose it because I had read the other two books before it and enjoyed them. It is worrying at times but not too much so you are not feeling tense and miserable when you have read parts of it, which for me is usually just before bedtime. It has a great story and you know the characters because of the clever way Anna Jacobs creates them. I would recommend it to anyone of all ages. I am now looking for another saga about the same people by Anna.
