This sucker was LONG! Review to come 
 After giving it some thought,,, I had to reduce my rating to 2.5 to 3 stars... Not a lot actually happened in this book, except for a lot of mistrust and second guessing. Plus there were too many threads left hanging and too many missed opportunities to make this a better book. The book was entirely too long, and for no reason. Taryn and Ryan's story could have been written in half the pages that this book took up. It would have helped to have an editor to say, "hey,,, you don't have to give us every mundane minute of Taryn's day." or "You can cut out a good 200 pages here,, this was not paramount to the story." 
 I have to be honest that I am curious about the next installment of Taryn and Ryan's relationship, since it is pretty intense. However, if it is just as long, and drawn out with no hook to the story at this first installment,,, I'm not sure. 
 Some of the recent self pubbed books I have read have suffered similar fates of being too long-winded, but Reber could learn from 
 Jamie McGuire and Liz Reinhardt who are both self-published and know when enough is enough.
