Review: EXCELLENT - until the END - HFN
Rating: 2 out of 5

MILD SPOILERS!Well, I'm left really angry at this book.First off, let me just say that I was totally IN LOVE with this book up until the end.I mean, it was definitely a five star read.The battles that these two people had to face, individually, were tragic. The way their undeniable attraction and eventual love was helping them to heal their wounds - beautiful - and totally sexy too. Just two fragile people....constantly on the edge....just waiting to fall - but proving they were their to catch each other - AWESOME.BUT the way the author had these two at the end? AWFUL! I felt fooled! I felt like they didn't have what they spent the whole book building and making me believe.The whole book was building up to something - I knew it, but I also just totally felt these two characters would get through it - and - while they DID (sort of) - I felt totally betrayed! How could our H just ABANDON her in HER time of need - when before - he stood by her through and through in the beginning. THEN to have the author just do a HFN with the impending doom I know is going to come from book 2 (as the teaser stated book two was about how the couple would deal with the H's rising fame - yep, you know that means faithfulness tests). I don't feel like the H will succeed at all with staying true to our h. I don't even wanna read book two because I feel like they are going to be put through too much. I mean, reading about two people's tragedies and then rooting for them, only for them to be hit again and again with angst is just too much - it's just depressing.I hate the way these two ended up and I just don't even wanna know what's gonna happen. I'm just going to pretend this book ended at about 80% and forget anything else.Sadly, I don't know to who I would recommend this book - that would enjoy it. The H is OTT possessive, and totally in love, but well, "it's" just too much for him.I just don't see him or her being strong enough for much more. Their both so fragile as it is ... Who knows? Maybe book 2 will be awesome-sauce and totally 180 everything I feel - but I don't think I'll ever know.I just think the author should have moved what happened in the last 90% to maybe 75% so that the HFN didn't feel so dooming to their relationship. There wasn't a lot done to restore them enough by the end.
