This installment deals with Sam and Nick's wedding. Yes, it's happening! Nothing can postpone or interrupt this big event.Although this novella was rather short, it wasn't too short to let the reader participate in this big and very moving celebration. Ok, there were some moments that were completely exaggerated (e.g. the singer) but I just don't have the heart to punish the author for this extremely positive aura. However, the borderline between "kitschy" and "charged with emotions" are so close that I can understand that the writer got carried away in the heat of the marriage.Except for the wedding, there were some very realistic emotional issues Sam had to deal with. If you read the previous book you know that she went through a very disappointing medical situation (how else could I say this without giving too much away?).  In this sequel she tries to find a temporary solution that would buy her some time before taking again the risk. Although the issue involves Nick as well, Sam deals in a very controversial but comprehensible way with the situation.On the other hand, Nick has taken measures to protect Sam from her ex-husband, which I personally would also consider controversial, especially because there could be professional consequences for her. In any case, his decision is also comprehensible and of course the motive behind all this is his absolute love for her.How the two main characters resolve these two matters (and of course other issues as well) stress again  that the "Fatal Series" tries to be character driven and realistic and not a simplistic Suspense Romance that are so typical for the genre.If you've read the previous books, this novella is an absolute must - others might feel a bit "disconnected".
