Review: charming, quick read, if a little raw around the edges

Novellas are tough: they have to be fleshed out in a very short space, and often come off rushed.  This writer is an old pro, so she has few problems peopling her tale and bringing it forward to conclusion.  But the characters, including the hero and heroine, come off a bit two-dimensional.The major redeeming factor is the plot twist: this is a boy meets girl, girl rescues boy and decides to keep him sort of romance, and you root for the characgters because they must act out of character.  Originally this was a collection of two tales of best friends' weddings.  The seque into the follow up story sounds interesting enough to make me want to get it as well.  Nordin seems to be a formula writer, but she enjoys creating lively characters, and can produce these stories with one hand tied behind her back.
