Review: Good Plot!

I was at first captured with the plot but unfortunately it began to fizzle out too soon.  The story began with the  intensity with which Rebecca and Genevieve, the main characters in this story, came together.  I was impressed how the author made Genevieve bold and strong.  She saw Rebecca and with one look into her eyes knew what she wanted.  She didn't question whether it was appropriate or not.  It was, after all "love at first sight"!They were together for four years and remained very much in love until one day tragedy struck.  I will explain my problem with the story -- when two people love each other and have been together as long as Rebecca and Genevieve had, it was unexpected that Rebecca would just fold like a house of cards at the first test to their commitment and journey through life together.  I realize this is the author's prerogative to make her characters any which way she wants but give us readers a little credit.  Stories need to have credibility, substance and character.  I read this story because I had just finished reading "Guilty Hearts".  I reviewed that book and saw "143" and  based on the five star reviews, I decided to read it.  I believe Ms. Winters has all the elements of a great writer.  She obviously gives her characters substance and makes them endeared to her reader until the middle of the story and then Ms. Winters switches her style and makes it appear as though she has become bored with her creation and just rushes to the finish.  I have mentioned this rush to end a story on my prior reviews of this author's work and I irritate again, give us, the reader, a little better glimpse into the main characters connection from beginning to end.
