Review: Did I like it?  I think so...

I'm a little torn on whether or not I liked this novella.I think that the main thing I didn't like was how Blackthorne fell in love without ever talking to Honey, turned into a mostly terrible person (with a soft spot for women being forced into marriage / in bad marriages) supposedly "because" of her, and then stayed that way for years and years.  Seriously?  He NEVER TALKED TO HER.But if you can get past that little tidbit of ridiculousness, the novella is fairly enjoyable.  Honey is a little sickeningly sweet, Blackthorne is the epitome of "misunderstood rake," Honey's sister Nellie is just downright a PITA that you want to smack across the face, but overall the storyline trips along fairly smoothly and it's nice when everyone gets a happy ending.  Honestly, I think this story might have been better if it had been longer, with more time for all the plot lines to develop and Blackthorne and Honey to get to know each other better.  But if you want a quick, cheap read, with a bit of angst and a HEA, it's not a bad novella to pick up.
