I really liked the first movie (Angels Fall) - in fact, I thought it was an exceptionally well-made TV movie.
I liked Blue Smoke too, but I didn't like the way they portrayed Bo. I thought he came across as scary when they first met in the backyard and the relationship was so rushed. (How long had it been since Hugh had died!?) Then when they were at the restaurant and Reena's dad talked about combining their homes into one and having lots of children - his expression looked weird... not necessarily like a guy would look when his girlfriend's dad talks to you like that, but a scary expression like he was going to go insane.
So I thought FOR SURE he was the young son of the guy who set the fire to the restaurant. With a name like Bo Goodnight, sounds like it's made up so I thought he had changed it. And even though he appeared to be "in love at first sight" with Reena at the party, I thought they were just trying to get you to think that he was in love with her, but really he was just happy to find her so he could take his revenge.
Okay, I think I've seen TOO MANY tv movies! They do so many stupid things in them, you never really be sure what to think!
I should also mention that I've never read any of the books, so perhaps that has something to do with my perceptions.
