challenging emotional hopeful tense

4.0

After I read Full Measures, I wrote in my review that I didn't trust Josh to be completely faithful to Ember if there were to be a future story of closure to the (annoying) happy-for-now ending. Little did I know that in Hallowed Ground, the military would be Josh's mistress, taking priority over his relationship with Ember.

In this second story of Ember and Josh, their relationship is still centered around sex, and they act like addicts whose sole focus is to get that next hit.

Josh is portrayed as incredibly selfish, making decisions without consideration of the consequences to anyone else. Josh does whatever Josh wants. Infuriating!

And yet...

...I couldn't put this or Full Measures down. 

Why is that?
