Rating: 4 out of 5

I didn't leave a review the first time I read this book.  Like other readers I remember feeing frustrated with the 22 year long secret.  I'm not sure why these two characters had to be left in limbo for over two decades.  Half that amount of time would have been tragic enough and would have allowed for the back story to develop.Some reviewers were unhappy that the `problem`wasn`t resolved years ago with a couple of questions.  Since secrets or misunderstandings make up many storylines,I`m not sure that is a fair complaint.  f you were betrayed by the love of your life, a man who was beloved by your family and had already lived through tragedy, maybe keeping quiet is reasonable.  Given the size of the town they lived in and how well known Feb and Colt were, getting out of Dodge for years also makes sense.That being said, there is a good story here full of interesting characters and no shortage of action.The only reason I came back to this book (unlike my favorite K.A.'s which I have reread multiple times) was because of Ms. Ashley's latest book, Jagged.  Jagged picks up the story of Graham Reece, a minor and rather tragic character.  If you have just read For You, I would recommend that you go straight to Jagged.  If it has been a while since you have read For You, go back and reread it before Jagged.Being emotionally unavailable for many years is a common theme is a number of K.A. books -- The Will, Mystery Man, and For You.  There is definitely a poignancy to the romance, along with a sense of frustration when this happens.
