Although I have read and reviewed several books, I usually find it a little more difficult to rate short stories. "His Island Bride" by Author Shadonna Richards is no exception. It is not easy for an author to fully develop a story line in a novella and despite this fact, Shadonna has done a fine job.I enjoyed the main characters, Jessica Mills and James Carrington, in their chance encounter in Jamaica. However, I would have preferred to know more about them and their backgrounds in order to make the plot of this story a little more believable. It seems odd that a beautiful woman and a successful, handsome man, would ever consider the possibility of an arranged marriage but...that's what creative writing is all about isn't it? That being said, I do believe that this short story is very well-written. It is one of the few e-books that I have found with little or no errors. In fact, I don't recall any at the moment. That in itself, along with the romantic theme in this novella, is actually quite refreshing.This is my first read by Author Shadonna Richards and I must say she is a talented author with much potential!
