Sigh. I really wanted to like this one more. The FL starts at a point of weakness and blooms under the loving attention of a man who sees her for who she is when no one else can. It was a wonderful, naturally progressing relationship that I enjoyed... right up until it went 'au natural'. But the biggest disappointment on top of that is we never get to hear him propose. Instead, she effectively invites him to be her bed warmer. Commitment is implied, but only implied. There is never any proof or mentions of vows, and that rather spoiled the whole thing for me. Bad enough they jumped in for some BBV (Bed Before Vows- RL statistics show that harmful to long term marriage), but to not even get to KNOW they marry? Sad ending IMO.
