Review: 3.5 good, but fizzled out by the end

This is a great writer and a great story. I always love the enemies- to-lovers trope, and throw in some hot cowboys, and I'm in. This is NOT a light read. This deals with a lot of sexual and physical abuse, which got to be extremely excessive at times. The denouement (when the climax of book occurs) is very hard to read because of the graphic content. It makes it very powerful and meaningful, but it just kind of was too much for me. Also, the book should have ended shortly after this climactic moment. But it doesn't. It keeps going .. and going. Just when I thought things had reached a satisfactory HEA, the author throws in another speedbump when one of the main characters runs off and a whole host of unnecessary secondary characters start appearing. It just didn't make sense, when everything had been wrapped up fairly conclusively after the big climax.
