Okay, to start I am a huge fan of the author. I love her Unfinished Hero,Chaos and Colorado Mountain series. However I hate this book. The quality of writing is the same, but they story line broke my heart. After a life filled with so much pain I hoped she would get the happiest HEA possible. Instead, I feel like she was cheated in the end. The man she loves walks away from her without a fight, leaving her to a life full of even more pain. Years later, when they come back together and work through issues of the past she's given a chance of a future with the man she's always loved, but it's bittersweet.Pren, the man who walked away from her, lives a life of nothing but sweet and beautiful while Elle suffers. They meet again after years for a friend's wedding,and he treats her like dirt, which I understand, but it doesn't make it easier to read. When everything is once again sunshine and rainbows for the two I'm hoping for something that makes up for everything Elle endures...something grand that brings the ah-ha moment that finally, everything happened for a reason that made it all worth it. It never happened. Until the very end Elle gives and gives and gives to make everyone happy, but nothing is sacrificed for her. It's all okay that Pren walked away leaving her (spoiler alert) with her abusive father. It's okay that he moved on, feel in love and married another woman, had kids with her and hated Elle. Everything was okay because Elle finally got the man she loved, a man who in my opinion didn't deserve her but whatever.
