Ok, the story was good, the characters interesting, but the ending...I'm not thrilled. Why? This first book was like a prologue for the next book. Girl meets boy. Girl falls in love. Boy fights the attraction, and his supposed love, for girl and dictates there will be no relationship due to difficult circumstances. The end.BEGIN RANT AND SPOILERS!Boom. Ten years later, second book. (You get to read the first few chapters of the second book). Both characters are fighting the attraction, again. Both supposedly loved each other the last ten years but have had relationships and slept with others. I married as a teen. My husband is military. You can always work something out or at least try too. But the "hero" DID NOT EVEN try to work out the difficult circumstances. He did what he thought was "best" for both of them. So, do you think I want to read a second book where the girl falls for the boy again? Where both parties are jealous of who the other person has been with in the last ten years? Where the boy, now a 30 year old man, regrets he did not try harder the first time!? Yum, heck no! If he didn't respect you enough then, when you told him you loved him, and supposedly being in love with you, he still flat out rejected you, do you think it will be better now? No. For me, that's still placing her second, third, and how ever many people he's slept with in the last ten years. (I do not include her because she fought, numerous times, in the first book for him and admitted her love. He threw it back in her face. He was a jerk. She choose to move on because he didn't want her. He choose to want her but throw her away.)I'm sorry, I want a romance. Boy loves girl. Girl loves boy. They have issues that they must overcome to be together and they FIGHT to do it!So frustrated...could have been a really great book and series. Oh, well...
