This is a short story...a VERY short story that is basically the set-up for the next book in a series.  The entire length of this story is only about 20 pages.  The remainder of the 60 or so pages are given over to a preview of What the Duke Wants.Having read the sample before purchase, I purchased The Only Reason because it seemed to offer some promise of a little deviation from the standard formula for Regency era romances.  However, because of its brevity it quickly devolved into the girl meets boy, instantaneous love ensues model.  Characterizations held largely unfulfilled promise.  The whole thing felt like one tiny bite of an appetizer that tastes good, but leaves you hungry and frustrated.
