I adore the gritty tenderness of Cara McKenna's love stories.  They are an amazing mix of fantasy and realism that you can reach out trace with your fingertips.  They dwell in the realm of fantasy still because the realty of a "cute meet" in prison would be more complex than these pages allow but the truth of the romance blooms from her finely drawn characters.  You will wish only the best for them.I do long for a bit more than the Happy for Now ending that I got in this read and in the equally tremendous After Hours. I want to see 10 years down the line and roll around in that long term love  especially when this first flush of the relationship captured here has been so hard fought.However, this is my thing I am putting on the book which is complete and excellent as is.The letters, class conflicts, dirty talk, family tensions, gender explorations, kindness, and falling in love of this book engaged me utterly.I was a little hesitant to read this book but I trust McKenna as a writer so I did despite the fact that my father worked in the prison system and female (or male) staff getting involved romantically with an inmate rarely ends well.But this book is about these two characters and that is what I like so much about it.
