This was a good story about two beat up souls who fought each other tooth and nail, rather than risk being broken by love. I liked the blunt writing style of this book and the quick dialogue. The backstory for these two characters was well developed and pretty compelling. Sam and Walker were dirt poor and desperate, living on the fringe of acceptable society. I loved the setting for this one - the hopeless and desolate climate was conveyed wonderfully.Unfortunately I didn't think the ending was as thought out as the rest of the story. The last quarter of this book felt rushed and almost hokey. After all the angst and tension between Sam and Walker, their love story was wrapped up prettily in a bow. These characters had major issues, and they were all resolved in the epilogue. For a book that's pretty lengthy, I wouldn't have minded a few more chapters for a more developed ending.
