Though Beware: there are several deaths mixed into the pot. All is resolved and ends happily for most after much trial and tribulation. We have illicit affairs resulting in pregnancies, adultery, tragic love affairs, boy next door happy love affairs, revenge, forgiveness, betrayal, blackmail, bankruptcy, corporate shenanigans, and 2 cases of grown up children discovering their Mommys and/or Daddys are not who they think they are. Each of the four parts of this mini-series has some closure while setting up the next episode with some unresolved plot points. Although fear not! She does come about in the last episode. Poor Alexa of September really got the short end of the stick! If you liked her happy ending of September pretend this one never happened. In Shades of Love he is back to Nasty Noel of the first novel. For those who have read Pilcher's beloved "The Shell Seekers" and "September", it is interesting to note the whiplash inducing turns in the Noel Keeling character. It is not based on a Rosamunde Pilcher novel, but takes her characters from September and projects what may have become of them about 10 years in the future. It has an entirely different cast from the miniseries based on the book which debuted 14 years earlier. By way of introduction, it is important to know that Shades of Love is a sequel to Rosamunde Pilcher's "September".
