I felt the story was complete without one, though I would have been interested to know what happened afterwards.Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-71164527173790835752016-05-19T17:52:58.911+01:002016-05-19T17:52:58.911+01:00Read this twice: once as unpublished and then the ...Read this twice: once as unpublished and then the published edition.

I adore the same things and feel the same heartaches as you mentioned in the review. As for epilogues, JAFF uses them with greater frequency than most romance novels. It's hard to think up a good end scene, and the timing once the story arc is complete is critical. Some continue on with a new plot-line, resulting in an epic. Some drag it out with every grandchild's name. Some rush to the finish line like it's a race, and the reader wonders if they got tired of writing. Some authors haven't even imagined much of what occurs once the story arc is complete, preferring to leave readers an opportunity: imagining the minor characters' fates just the way they want them! Thanks so much, Ceri!Suzan Lauderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770386453085972642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-7870119051140688952016-05-16T21:57:14.218+01:002016-05-16T21:57:14.218+01:00Thank you so much, Carole.
