I was pleasantly surprised by the book. I did not realize it was a novella until right before I started reading it. Usually novella's feel rushed to me because it's hard to get a good plot line and character development squished into about 100 pages. I think His allure, her passion is a great novella. It is well written & I never felt that it was rushed. Perfect romance to read when you are looking for something that is relatively short & doesn't have much angst.This book has one of my favorite plot lines, Hero & Heroine make a 'deal'. They each get something they want or need. Its suppose to be easy, emotionless, and a win-win, but emotions always pop up. In His Allure, Her Passion, playboy Derek needs to appear to have a steady girlfriend in order to get to his Dad's Valentine's Ball  and  model Hayley needs her big break. They make a deal: Hayley will get all the publicity she needs by dating the famous Derek & he gets the steady girlfriend he needs.  Will they both end up with their part of the bargain or something more?This was a quick read and it kept me entertained the whole time. I never knew what was going to happen between the characters next. I really liked that during the times that Derek & Hayley weren't together for weeks at a time, instead of dragging it out and being inside the characters head, we got to skip ahead. This made the book move at a brisk pace; keeping me thoroughly engaged but not rushing it.I recommend this to anyone looking for a quick romantic read & loves the friends to lovers theme!
