I love this book, but the ending felt like a cliffhanger? Did Ice and Soleil have children? I hope that Ice was able resolve some sexual abuse issues with a therapist? /

The end is that they were together, in love and happy. In that respect, it wasn't a cliffhanger at all.
I can't just jump forward with children since that would upset the storyline for the other characters.
As far as resolving sexual abuse issues, that's not likely. I have spoken to more than one therapist and this kind of abuse doesn't get fixed or resolved. It's just not realistic. Ice will always have PTSD. He will always struggle with his demons. He isn't fixed. What he is, is loved. Accepted. Understood. He has a life partner who accepts him and loves him regardless of his issues and knows he will never be "cured" of them. Ice, loves her and wants to be a better man. He wants to do things that show he's worthy. In that way, she's helped him.
Also, how would that therapy session be able to be open and honest when Ice has killed and will likely kill in the future? That would have to be a very unique therapist to overlook that.
