Despite this being a novella, Ms. Quinn developed an intriguing plot about trust and commitment and well rounded characters with depth and believability.  I'm always a little cautious when I read a novella, as with the length, many authors I have found have issue developing a plot that isn't simple and understated and characters that do not really do anything.Not so in this book.  Raven and Finn captured my interest right away and the feelings, thoughts, and layers that made them up were demonstrated through their actions with each other and other people, specifically Finn with his parents and coworkers.  I always appreciate an author that has the ability to show characters through actions and interactions rather than stating, he was a handsome young man who due to previous experiences had trust issues.  I find being shown makes the characters and story stronger.I liked Raven's fears, I liked how they were demonstrated, even if predictable and I liked Finn's reactions to them.  He wasn't a pushover who opened his heart and was content to sit and wait for Raven to get her life and mind in order with what she wanted.  And Raven, after a time and shown Finn's true feelings, didn't simper or beg, but fought and offered herself to Finn, asking him to accept her as she was, faults and all with the understanding that she wanted to work at being more as he had become from knowing and being with her.It was a short, but very delightful read.  I am looking forward to the next book in this series.
