I like Beverly Kendall. I have quite a few of her books. This was a novella and is supposed to be between stories. It was short. Thankfully.  It was all building up to and then sex. The "hero" was an arrogant jerk just after getting the "heroine  in bed. The "heroine" was totally unbelievable and contradictory.  She was supposed to be a prim and proper lady but she lets the guy just kiss and grope her upon their first meeting? She supposedly had a crush on him years ago when his brother courted then ruined her sister.And she's not even going to talk to him, get to know him, find out if he's anything like the slimeball of a brother he has before kissing him? She's not much better than he is. She's so blinded by her attraction to his good looks she doesn't seem to care what kind of person he is at all. The writing was fine as Beverly is well versed in grammer,  the flow of the story is fine for what it is. I expected a romance from a romance novel. This wasn't one. There was no romance- it was all lust and sex. No love except at the end when they claimed to love each other. Beverly is a good writer she just missed on this one. Try one of her others instead.
