Review: great story -- ignore the blurb

I first saw the blurb for this novella many months ago -- but it didn't look especially interesting, so I never got around to purchasing it. Boy, am I glad I finally did! The blurb is very misleading about the actual tone and content of the book; please ignore the blurb completely and read the free sample instead, in order to get a good idea of the flavor of the book.There is not a heckuva lot of plot to this book, but plot isn't the point. Romance is about character and emotion and relationships, and this book has those things in SPADES. Witty repartee. Vulnerability and desperate need. Quiet self-sacrifice. Jealous rage. Two people in love behaving like utter idiots. Hopeless suffering. Lustful reconciliation. It's all in there -- and it's all written with skill, intelligence, humor, and heart.If you want convoluted plot or breakneck action, forget it -- you won't find those here. But If you want to laugh a lot and also wipe away a few tears, you're in the right place.
