Whoa! Excuse me while I finish fanning myself, it's still a bit hot in here. 5 stars!S.E. Hall is on my list of "I will read anything she writes" authors and I have definitely enjoyed Angela's books before as well. However, novellas make me nervous because I'm not always a fan. You don't get the same character or story development which means an author doesn't have much time to hook you, keep your interest and then satisfy you with the ending.I am very happy to give this novella 5 stars. I was immediately drawn in by the storyline...a shy and somewhat lonely administrative assistant starts receiving letters at work from a mysterious stranger. The longer they go on, the steamier they get.Amelia alternates between being turned on and being creeped out by her 'stalker' but as he gets more bold, she can't deny the sparks that fly when they finally meet. The problem: she still doesn't know who he is. He's determined to keep his identity a secret and after a few super steamy encounters, Amelia feels used and unwanted.Of course there is always another side to the story so her stranger gets a chance to make amends and come clean on his identity. Amelia then has to decide whether she can forgive his behavior and trust him enough to build a relationship.As with all novellas, we don't even know a ton about Amelia or the man in question but we get enough to enjoy them and their story. The writing style is great and in my opinion better than the last novella from Angela and S.E. The dialogue and thoughts are peppered with witty comments. The sex is hot and while there is quite a bit of it, there is a storyline here as well.Packaged is a good length for a novella and an excellent light read. I believe we meet the guy who will star in 'Handled', the upcoming release from these two authors and if I'm right, we're in for another fun ride. The characters from Stirred Up even make a brief appearance here though the stories are completely unrelated. *You do not have to read Stirred Up before Packaged.Highly recommended!
