First, I enjoyed this story about two tortured souls, whose friendship, mutual respect and eventual love helped them to begin the healing process, long overdue.  The hero and heroine, Amelia and Benjamin, were so very likeable.  My heart broke reading about all that these two people had endured, yet they still managed to be very decent human beings. I loved the way  Ms. Willows wrote the progression of the the relationship between Amelia and Benjamin---it wasn't fast-paced, nor should it have been, given the emotional and physical pain they each had endured.  I would characterize the developing relationship to be filled with sexual tension---a slow burn that ultimately became down right combustible!!  Overall, this was a real treat.So, why only 3 stars you ask?  Simply put, the ending or should I say the lack thereof.  The ending was so abrupt, I thought my Kindle had skipped ahead--it only takes a very light touch for that to happen.  But, no, the "no ending" ending was it!!!  What a way to ruin a thoroughly good story in which you've become immersed.  Ms Willows is a talented writer based on this book, and she could have penned a chapter or two to wrap-up the story.  The lack of an ending, even if a sequel was/is contemplated,  there is no reason to have ended this beautiful story the way it was done.  Don't understand it---at all.  Additionally, there were some typographical errors (e.g., dropped words, added words, and sentences that didn't make sense because of them).  While I was willing to overlook the typos (Ms. Willows self-edited) because they were not excessive, the typos coupled with the abrupt ending compels me to give this book 3 stars.  I will definitely read another of Ms. Willows books because she is a very talented writer with a great command for the English language.
