Well then. That was my first Courtney Milan and I daresay it will NOT be my last. Everyone talks about her books, but sometimes hype falls flat for me. Yep. The hype is deserved. It was a short story, but Evan and Elaine resonate. Mz Milan knows how to rip your guts out and gives just enough detail in off subjects--in this case, mountaineering and astronomy--that you are interested, but not bored.
The characters were delightful and the love grew between the characters organically, even in a short story setting. (and being an author myself, I applaud that feat. One, I'm still attempting to figure out.)
This was a great introduction to Mz. Milan and I've been told to read Unraveled next. Now, all I have to do is dig out from Christmas so I can have my book budget back...

Read Unraveled next. It's four times better, and I loved Unlocked!

I loaned mine out, but if you want I'd be happy to loan this to you when it comes back. Milan encourages it.
