Her Heart's Secret Wish is the debut novella from author Juliana Haygert, short, gritty, and totally engaging!  While loosely a "holiday" read, the holiday theme was an aside to the rest of the story.  With such a sweet cover, I thought I was going to be reading a sweet holiday story.  Don't get me wrong... it was.  It just wasn't sugar sweet and neatly tied with a bright red Christmas bow.  And that is exactly what I liked about it!  There was no sugar coating Natasha and making her be some pure, little angel.  Instead, she was raw, gritty, and self-admittedly a bit on the trampy side.  But, trampy or not, she was a girl with a heart and that is what made her character so likable.  The added bit of taboo with the relationship with her professor added a little more spice to the story, too!  It's a sexy story, but not one that is all sex and no story.  It is definitely the story first and a fun story to read, complete with a bit of angst and humor and spice and everything nice!An aside... I loved that there was a World of Warcraft reference in there, being a WoW girl myself!  I can't wait to read more by this promising author!
