I am one of Nalini Singh's group of admirers. She writes the type of stories such that when you realize you are reaching the end, you say to yourself, "0h please, please, please don't let her leave me hanging. I must have the rest of the story!!" And, with some touch of magic, she pulls the story to a place where you can at least breath and there IS a happy ending, even if the story goes on or not. Her books are populated with characters you would like to know or be friends with. Her stories are definitely about relationships and how they grow. Perhaps I should change all those "you's" to "I's", as her stories are a special treat for me. If you like well written paranormal stories with happy endings that leave you with warm fuzzies, come join our group of admirers.
