Let me start off by saying that it took me a minute to really get into the book. The beginning started off in a way to suck you in and then somehow I felt like I had been blown out again. It being a short story kept me going for the next few pages to get to a faster pace for the story. There were also a surprising number of characters and I wonder what happened or will happen to a lot of them. Leaves lots of potential for follow up series involving the other characters - even if I didn't like them; redemption stories can still be enjoyable.
My biggest pet peeve is that there were paragraphs that head hopped from one person's point of view to another...while it wasn't noticeable enough to distract from the story I def picked up on it so it really is a personal preference as to whether this will annoy you or not. Though like I said, it doesn't happen often and because in these scenes there are really only two characters it is still very easy to pick up on who is saying/thinking what in each part of the conversation.
I will also say that the personalities of some of the characters made you really wonder why they were the way they were. While in a novel length story this would annoy more, I gave some leeway because this is obviously a short story focused on two characters. If she was to ever spread this out novel length though I def. want to know the background on some of these people - like her best friend Lucinda...
I was going to give this four stars but decided on the five after getting to the ending. The main character starts off as a mousy little pushover (for lack of a better term) and I found it hard to feel any sympathy for her. The author did a great job in having the character grow and change in such a limited number of pages which can be quite an accomplishment for shorter stories. Thank goodness she changed for the best. Endings can really make or break a story as far as I am concerned and since I liked this one it gets the extra star!
This is a very clean romance with a few kisses here and there. No profanity or nudity.
