3.0

This book was fun to read.  I love Henry and Cindy.  I forgot it was fade to black but that wasn't a huge deal for me personally.  I was disappointed by the ending.  I feel like I wanted more closure maybe.  An epilogue probably would have made it so that I was more satisfied.  Where the book ends, it was technically a happy ending but it just felt unfinished for me.  And this book is on the shorter side from the other romances I've read recently so I think there was room for it without feeling like the story was dragging.
