Well, it was described as an HEA by some people. I would see it as more of HFN because not all the questions are answered. (Hence book 2!) But I don't want to pressure you. Go with what you feel is right. My book WILL make you mad, sad, happy, and everything in between. (If other readers reviews are any indicator) And I don't mind bad reviews. I tell people to write what they feel! I do.

That is a good challenge, Wade. Yes, basically it is the prospect of reading something sad. More importantly, all of the Bittersweet Dreams titles are just out for me because, unless I have some sort of assurance of a HFN or a HEA - I know I will not enjoy reading it and I HATE giving bad reviews.
So, you re telling me your book has a HEA? In which case it will be off this shelf in a second. :)
Sorry my book is not-for-you :( Is it the prospect of reading something sad? there is an HAE :p Just curious.
