This was good. I enjoyed it. But, I didn't devour it like I did the first two. Partly because I had to work. :) But, partly because there was a lot of guilt and regret between the hero and heroine. It was kind of stressful. There was a lot of pining without obvious caring actions, I guess. It was 80% before Bear got his head out of his @ss and the end with actual happy times seemed to come way too fast. Also, I didn't care for Bear calling Stella "buddy" as a term of endearment. :(
