I was offered an ARC in exchange for an honest review.I generally shy away from novellas since their minimal length often does not allow for enough character development and plot to satisfy me.  Author Jenny Lyn has officially changed that opinion.  "Heart Trouble" is a wonderful story that packs a one-two punch that rivals novels twice its length.ER Doctor, Erin Taylor loses a bet to her best friend, Tess, and ends up in the trendy nightclub Blue in a dress and heals that reveals far more than her preferred scrubs and sneakers.  That's the first part of the bet.  The second part is to have a drink and ten minutes of conversation with a guy.  Determined to get her friend out of her dating dry-spell, Tess picks the dark-haired, green-eyed gorgeous hunk of man standing at the bar.  Sean Rembert is supposed to be on duty, but when his eyes meet Erin's, he quickly forgets all about the fact that he's looking for leads to help crack a serial rapist case.The instant spark between Sean and Erin is palpable.  While it may not be "love at first site," "lust at first site" certainly hits the nail on the head.  So, when Sean realizes that Erin fits the serial rapist's target profile, he's determined not to let her out of his site until the man is caught.  He's never had a stake-out assignment this important or this "satisfying."  Author Jenny Lyn has created characters that I genuinely found myself pulling for.  The passion between them is steamy, and sexy.  I wanted Sean and Erin to be more than merely the protector and the protected.Erin is a driven, single-minded woman.  She's passionate about her job - one that is so demanding she's convinced there's no time for anything (or anyone) in her life.  Sean is equally focused and dedicated to his job, and he's accepted a long time ago that with a job like his, there's no room for a relationship.  But being forced to be together 24/7 while waiting for the rapist to make his next move, Sean and Erin both start to wonder if there is more to life than just work."Heart Trouble" kept me turning pages from the first chapter.  It had the drama and danger element that had me holding my breath, sexy scenes that had my heart beating just a little faster, and romance that left me exhaling a gentle sigh at the tenderness between Sean and Erin.  There's no cliffhanger, but the only thing missing from this novella is another 100 pages.  I want more of Sean and Erin.
