This was definitely well written. I was most impressed by the landscape of the story which I think, must be real place unless it sprung from the figment of the writers imagination. I wouldn't be surprised if it did, considering that the rest of the story is littered with similarly breathtaking descriptions. You can always tell when the writer can actually see the surroundings and the characters. It's even more satisfying when the writer can see it and then paint it so vividly for the rest of us.The connection between the two characters is real and very sweet. The sex scenes are descriptive without ever edging into the vulgarity that is so common in this genre (and if I may say unnecessary). I've read the other reviews and someone complained that there wasn't enough action in the book. I guess if you are looking for an action story, you might be disappointed. I don't think this was the writers purpose in the first place and I don't believe it was advertised as an action book.Now for the bad stuff. Even for fiction, everything about this story is just too convenient. I understand having to neatly tie up the loose ands, but this was knitted so tight it could stop a bullet. Maybe a happy ending is a requirement for a lot of writers, and I'll never be the one to complain about a happily ever after. But, we all know life is messy. Sometimes, even in the worst mess, there is beauty that can't be matched by perfection. This is a nice story and well written but it mostly made me wonder what could be accomplished if the writer took a risk.
