Review: ends abruptly without a sense of completion
Rating: 3 out of 5

A very short read, just when it seems to be getting interesting, it ends. There is no romance here, Bernard's dad is losing patience with his son not finding a woman to marry, when low & behold he see's JoAnna, who is already married - to a very abusive husband. They have brief encounters, since JoAnna is fear stricken that her husband will see her talking to another man, and for no real reason he falls in love with her. Not a lot of character development, so your not sure she feels the same way, but he gives her hope to get away from her abusive husband.There's no "relations" in the book, but there is a lot brutality from JoAnna's husband Ralf beating her. Things take forever to get moving, but the action scenes are great. Just as the husband is out of the way & JoAnna & Bernard can be together the book ends, leaving you wanting to know more ... like how she can so easily accept his love after being married to an abuser for a year? That would have been an interesting story, her learning to trust and accept him. You want to see them fall in love, etc. but it just ends!
