4.5 stars because the ending pissed me off. While I enjoyed this book, the god awful cliffhanger at the end makes me want to hurt someone. :) I hate cliffhangers with an unbridled passion. That said, this book had everything I love. Damaged characters working through their issues as abuse survivors to find their way to each other. I loved the steady progression of Callie and Kayden and how they grew to trust each other. My only real complaint as I've said was the ending. It wasn't really an ending at all, but like I was reading and all of a sudden it was cut off in the middle of a climatic scene. Which is exactly what happened. It wasn't really an ending to a book. More like a chapter and you expect there to be a resolution to begin on the next page, only there isn't. It just ends. *throws hands up in the air* Now I have to wait god knows how long to see what happens. Not cool. ;)
