Disclosure first of all: the author is a friend of mine, and I'm involved in the event.

Having said that, Susan Beck has a style of her own. No-holds-barred, down-and-dirty and unashamedly Aussie in both slang and syntax. And this story is no different. I love her style. It's a refreshing change from some of the cookie-cutter books that you find at times in this genre.

While I would have liked to have had a longer and complete story, I appreciate it not being rushed or have a happy ending tacked on for the sake of a HEA. I'd rather wait and be able to fully immerse myself in their story and read a full length story. ( )

Sheer peevishness about the "TO BE CONTINUED" comment made me want to drop my rating substantially... but I just couldn't do it; the story is just too good! And YES, I'm looking forward to the continuation! ( )
