I was fully prepared to give this at least four stars if not more until I got twenty pages from the end and all the careful character exploration was pretty much ignored to rush it to the conclusion. Salvatore and Nicolette are wonderful leads, and I loved the almost gentle relationship they had from the start. Their feelings are rich and believable, and it's very easy to root for them.
That unfortunately gets spoiled by too-convenient plot turns in the end as well as an entirely unbelievable turnaround on the part of one of the other primary characters. Within the space of two pages (only four pages from the end), I'm expected to change my mind about all the despicable behavior displayed previously in an all tell not show fashion. Um, no, I just can't turn on a dime like that, and ultimately, my disappointment at how that was all handled marred my overall enjoyment.
I really enjoyed it all the way to that point, however. They were a wonderful couple.
