I read the first in this series and enjoyed it so naturally, I went to the next one expecting just as good a book.  Not so much!  First off, it takes a really experienced and accomplished writer to write a short story.  Why?  Because you have a limited number of pages to set your stage (develope characters, set plot, etc), produce a conflict, reach a climax and have an ending.  Most writers can simply take as many pages as they want to do this, while short stories are limited.  This author's first book was not a short story.  I think the book failed because it was a short story.  Secondly, I really did not like the hero AT ALL and the heroine only slightly more.  The conflict developed by this author was by way of the H & H being mean and cruel to each other while supposedly being madly in love.  Simply put me off.  I am befuddled at the strong reviews of this short story.  Frankly, I have to think they only enjoyed the love scenes sprinkled throughout, because that's the only thing that stood out in this book.
