This was my first read by this author. I was a little taken aback by how cruel the hero was to her at first. Of course she had hardened herself a bit to deal with that. But once I could tell that he did still care it sweetened the story. I just really couldn't believe that it took 10 years for these two to resolve their issues. And even though he loved her so much, he moved across the globe to be away from her. And I definitely did not like how after all of the difficulty the relationship had that the last few pages tidied up the ending so neatly. All in all, it was a very good story and I will read more from this author.
