Review: Just as you get to the good part it abruptly ends leaving so much annoyingly unresolved

Jeff is an architect from a small town.  He went off to college without considering taking his lover Ash with him and Ash just disappears out of his life for fifteen years.  Neither of them got over the loss.  Invited back for the reading of a Will Jeff finds Ash has returned and the fascination remains for both.  They inherit a house if  they can work together and complete a few specified tasks - and they are drawn back into their intuitive and loving relationship.I did like the book, it took a while to get going. Ash seemed to wholeheartedly welcome Jeff back into his life, his home and his bed.  I would have thought, after having felt abandoned by Jeff all those years ago, he would have been more reticent. Jeff left a lover who cheated on him, stole his blueprints and passed them off as his own and then accused him of stealing them.  His licence to practice is in jeopardy - he was going to give in and Ash urged him to fight for what he wanted (both in his career and personally).  And there is a huge question mark over Jeff's longevity that isn't resolved.  Then the book ends, just ends!  Where is the comeuppance?  How can the author just leave this big thing unresolved?  I want to see the cheating, conniving, lying, manipulating piece of squish be, well squished.  I want revenge with my coffee and I was left unsatisfied, there was no completion.  Humph.  I am not happy with that.  I was going to take off a star but didn't...this book ends just as you are getting ready to wrap your lips around your dessert after having a nice meal that doesn't quite fill you up.  This serving of dessert will stop you feeling hungry...but then the plate is thrown to the floor and it is lost.  That is like the end of this book - no sweet ending, just an ending.
