It is such a pleasure and a relief when an author decides to give one of her secondary characters a second chance at love. In this short and definitely sweet and sensual novella, Valerie Bowman does just that. She revisits Amelia Templeton, a nave girl of only eighteen that was engaged to the hero of her début novel `Secrets of a Wedding Night'. I, for one, was very happy she did because despite her behavior in that novel, I liked her.We finally get a better picture as to Amy's character and that of the environment in which she grew up in and many things become revealed that make this story much enjoyable.Ms. Bowman couldn't have picked a better hero for her than Thaddeus. Thad was a rake of the best kind, one who only needed the right girl to see him as he really is and not what the gossips and tabloids make of him.I adored this short story. It must have been such a pleasure to write it because I had a pleasure of reading it.Even though it's short, Ms. Bowman did a fantastic character development, made sure to pace it just right and the tension in those sensual scenes makes your heart pump just a bit faster.This really was worth every [$1.99] penny and then some! Highly recommend as a quick but delightful short novella.Melanie for b2b*Book bought from Amazon.
