Is this a review or a good-bye to a group of characters I've come to know, sometimes loving them, sometimes not!  I do know that Deanna Kinney can write and has proved it once again with her final book in the Charity Series, a great collection of short stories that bring closure to the question: "What happened to....?"  Raven's Rose brought everyone back, at least for a cameo appearance and in the end, a Happily Ever After for ALL that felt right!The first story, highlighting "bad vamp gone good," Raven and his love for Sophia -  Emotional and sigh-worthy for sure!  Next, Eli, Levi's brother, often a bit of a pain, finds love in Shae, a girl with mismatched eyes, who mesmerizes him instantly.  Their back and forth dialogue is cute, funny and love is in the air, for sure our Eli is a goner!  And then something happens that rips Eli to the core, and ends his hopes for a future together.  (Yep, shock time, pain time grab a hankie time, for sure!)  Will he ever find someone?  Is he destined to be alone?  All he wants is to see those beautiful eyes one more time.  Last, Wesley is alone, still showing his temper, still hiding his soft and gooey side and currently the official babysitter for the daughter of Sargeant Mason, an equally hot-headed and determined young woman.  Has he met his match?  Will they irritate the heck out of each other or will their tempers fuel the flames of love?Deanna Kinney sent me a recommendation for Raven's Rose, then, a few minutes later sent me a note offering me a review copy, and I swear, I had already purchased my own in the time between her notes!  That said, I honestly, honestly will miss this series!
