SEALed with a Promise (SEALed #2)

OK, just finished the second story, Sealed with a Promise (Caleb/Do Lord & Emmie's story). Like Kiss, Promise has some tough life issues to deal with. Ms Daughtridge tells a great tale, although I thought this one ended a little too suddenly (view spoiler). However, the writing is still lush and should make word nerds happy (I started highlighting the big words and was thankful for my Kindle's definition function. Looking forward to reading the third story again (Davy's).
For those of you not into $10 words when a nickel one'll do, you may have issues with her use of words like "carapace", "strophe and antistrophe", "anodyne", well, you get my point. Big words don't always work. For me, though, I enjoyed what they added. Even better, Ms Daughtridge tells fables in some ways, with lots of values woven through the story. For example, "...you were so focused on the straight-line solution, you weren't listening to anyone's warnings." In other words, sometimes, the long way around is the smarter way.
