Review: A beautiful novella with a slightly rough edge

I generally love Kate Harper's works, and "A Rule For Christmas" is no exception. The writing does have a few typing mistakes and awkward sentences - as far as I know, Harper's books are self-published. But if the reader can look beyond those rough edges, he or she will find a wealth of romantic development squeezed into a standard length novella. The heroine is a strong and sensible woman, and the hero is rather likable when he isn't being arrogant. The  two protagonists form an authentic and enjoyable friendship over a series of conversations, despite their mutually reluctant intentions.  The hero stubbornly plans to court the heroine's younger cousin, yet finds himself spending all of his time with the heroine. A little conflict is created when the hero lashes out in jealousy, but everything is tied up in a satisfying and endearing conclusion.*The novella is a clean read, with only a few kisses at the end.
