The perfect ending to this gut-wrenching and highly addicting serial!! From the moment I first met Willow, she had a special place in my heart with all of her twisted logic and unstoppable devotion, and the wait for her to get her man was a painful and treacherous road.  In this final session, Willow and Ebon are tested at every step of the way, and it forces them to not only face their demons, but tackle them head-on.  Whether or not they would find themselves together on the other end of the battlefield was the ultimate question, and Paige James makes us wonder long and hard before we know the answer!As fans will know from the end of the last session, Willow has to face a tenacious adversary this time around, and Ebon’s mother turned out to be one grade-A sinister bitch. The lengths that this woman goes to in order to get what she wants were unthinkable; it was like a sadistic version of what Willow was willing to do to have Ebon!  My stomach was in knots as Willow found herself slipping farther and farther into the spider’s web, and the wait for Ebon to follow the clues was excruciating!!  But at the same time, watching him come to the realization that Willow meant the world to him was just priceless.When I say that Willow and Ebon were tested, I mean in every sense of the word. Not only does Willow face the danger of her usefulness for Ebon’s mother, but she also faces her own family.  They are an admittedly infuriating bunch, doubting Willow at ever step and never giving her the benefit of the doubt.  But I loved that Willow grows beyond their opinions in this installment, grabbing the reigns and proving that she’s stronger than any of them assume.  Of course, having a guy like Ebon to fight for makes it a pretty easy decision!!As for the steaminess factor, things are different this time around but not in a bad way.  With so many plot twists and fate keeping them apart, there was bound to be a whole lot less of the pulse-racing sexy that we’ve been gifted with each session.  But with a little creativity and characters that are just THAT hot, readers still get plenty of all that has made Ebon a delicious treat to curl up to!  Things wrap up just how they should in my opinion, and I couldn’t be happier to have taken this journey with these awesome characters!Quotes:“That was smart.  You thought you’d fixed all your problems, didn’t you?  Changing your name, moving away…”“Evidently I did not.” My mother laughs, a satisfied sound that grates on my nerves.  “However, I won’t be so nave this time.” ~Loc 164To keep from sinking down into a dark place from which there is no return, I write.  But, mostly, because nothing seems to matter quite as much as losing Willow, I write. And I write a lot. ~Loc 515I push away from him, turning to walk a few feet away before I spin to face him.  There’s an urgency trilling along my nerve ends.  It’s now or never. Right this minute.  He has to know. ~Loc 1467
