Review: Great emotional read, but not 5 stars...

My favorite stories are the really emotionally heart-wrenching ones, and this was one of them. I have read some of Jolie Skye's other books, but not all. So I was somewhat familiar with Trey, Gabriel, Kingley, and some of the other characters, but I was not completely familiar with the timeline. Even so, I didn't think it was necessary to read all the other books first.I can't give it five stars, because I felt like the characters stayed apart a little *too* long. The author had to stick with the timeline that was already created, so there was no other choice - these characters *must* spend years apart. Therefore, they ended up with hardly any relationship at all. I've read other books with long seperations which actually can make a good emotional story, but this book never made up for the long absence. It just sort of ends once we know they will have the HEA, but we never get to see them in HEA mode. I wanted to spend more time with them as main characters having HEA within their own story, to make up for all the time they were forced to be apart. Oh well.
