I loved this book a lot, that is right up until the very end. The story was very believable as were all the characters. And the story flowed so effortlessly, too. My biggest disappointment, though, was the way that it ended. I know some would say that they got their HEA, but for me I thought the ending was a little too abrupt. There were just too many loose ends, for me. I know that the author left it up to our imaginations, but I like author's who tie the endings up in a neat little bundle.WARNING- THERE MAY BE SPOILER ALERTS!!!!!Okay, for instance...did Annabelle and Lily ever end up patching things up between the two of them?Did Annabelle finish writing her novel?Does Annabelle stay on after the new company takes over?Did she sell her share and move over to Paris with Etienne?Did the authorities ever catch up with Jeremy, and if so ....was he arrested and sent to jail?Why did Jeremy think Annabelle could help him get out of the hot water he'd found himself in, anyway?Does Simon and Paige ever get married?Does Etienne and Annabelle get married?This was such a great story up until that point. So my question is... why didn't the author take a few extra minutes to throw in a short Epilogue, say maybe even 6 months down the road, in order to clear up these loose ends for the reader's?IMO- that would have been a much better ending than the one we actually got. Other than that one sticking point, this was a very well written book.
