It's like "sighing" at the end of a great story. As a writer, it's one of my most favorite scenes to write. It ties up the HEA.

It makes the HEA more believable if it is months after the meet-cute rather than days after it.Marilyn Barrhttp://www.marilynbarr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015064410387223894.post-34459352581201314302021-01-20T15:30:42.803-05:002021-01-20T15:30:42.803-05:00I like an epilogue "a year later" and sh...I like an epilogue "a year later" and shows that the HEA is happening. I definitely do not like cliff hangers. It's like suckering me (as a reader) into buying the next book to see what happens. But, if it's clearly Book 1 of xxx series, then I know before I buy that there will be more.Diane Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03754105332297068271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015064410387223894.post-83172490131488394502021-01-20T14:57:53.515-05:002021-01-20T14:57:53.515-05:00I don't mind them as long as they're not t...I don't mind them as long as they're not too involved. A snippet is good, an extra chapter is bad, especially if it includes a cliffhanger. I hate cliffhangers. L. A.

But for it's own sake, it can interfere with the satisfying conclusion that could have been wrapped up naturally.Nancy Gideonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07493107610530282642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015064410387223894.post-14828397218272454182021-01-20T13:04:08.014-05:002021-01-20T13:04:08.014-05:00Sometimes.
