I tend to prefer shorter relationship arcs in urban fantasy as well, in terms of the early courtship. The review perplexed me a little, in part because (although I haven't read the book yet) it seems to me that although the couple is "settled" in some senses, the tension between their roles and powers is obviously going to be a continuing negotiation. Fortunately, none of the tension was of the "which dude" sort. The review was generally positive and ended with a recommendation, but the amount of attention paid to the HFN seemed disproportionate given the clear genre label.
