Characters well done.  Personal issues good.  There was not a lot of sex, if that matters.  The sex scenes were brief.The story had the formulaic fight/separation.  I wish that were not so ubiquitous.  As I’m reading in the middle I’m thinking “Oh there’s probably going to be a fight.  I hope there is no fight.”  Then a little thing happens and I think “I bet that’s going to be the source of a fight.”  Sure enough a little later it happens.  That’s the main thing that bothered me.  I don’t want to fault the author because I know 99% of romance novels have this.  I just wish more authors would write without it or do something different.  As fights go this was well done.  There was no stupidity.  The inaccurate assumption was reasonable.The ending was happy but very quick.  I would have liked more at the end.  But maybe that is a compliment.A secondary story was about Angie and her love life.  She had something going on with two guys.  At the end of the book that was a big mystery.  Questions floated.  I assume that was a hook to get us to buy the next book.  It took away from the completeness of this story.I received an complimentary copy (ARC) from Carina Press.
