Review: A Short but Satisfying Read

This is a very short story (I'd say more short story than novella) and the first work that I've ever read from Karen Tabke. It was a great introduction to this author because it gave me a sense of her writing style (and, as I'm sure it was intended to do, made me curious enough about the Blood Sword Legacy that I'll be checking out books in that series). The story is well-paced given it's length. The characters aren't especially well-developed, but that's to be expected in a short story. She does give good enough descriptions, though, and her characters are likable. I liked the hero and heroine, and their story is one that I think works as a short because anything longer would have just required a lot of filler that I think would have just dragged on. As it is, this is a short, sweet, and simple tale, a great read if you just want something to tide you over between longer works or as a bedtime read.
