Review: Good story - ending falls short

I enjoyed the storyline overall but felt like ti fell apart towards the end. There is a scene where bad Marla calls good Elise a nitwit and I couldn't agree more. It's just hard to imagine any woman mated to an Alpha as so stupid, dense and gullible. At one point her life is threatened, she meets a rogue stranger and wonders if she should finger comb her hair and straighten her jacket - oh yeah at the time she has a broken leg, can't walk and a homicidal maniac coming after her at any minute. And her thoughts are on finger combing her hair. There are a lot of threads in this story and Ms. Charles tried to wrap them up at the end but it fell short. And what was it with Elise coming on to Ryne while thinking about Kane, and when he responds its Ryne's fault? There was a weird chemistry between Ryne and Elise at the end that left one wondering about Elise, and I don't think that was the intention. Well, I think this is Ms. Charles first book in this series so some slack can be cut. I still think a writer can have plot, mystery, love, and tension without the main character being a dimwit.
