The Twelve Days of Seduction. Máire ClaremontReview from Jeannie Zelos Book reviews.I like to dip into a simple historical romance sometimes, so chose this one. Sadly it didn't really work for me. I hadn't realised it was so short at just 79 pages, ( though its priced at a reasonable 1.26) and felt that this didn't really allow me to get to know the characters as I need to for the plot to really develop.  Its well written and edited, and the characters feel real, but I was expecting a little more spice, and more emotion. A deeper story rather than the light and fluffy one this is, its sweet rather than solid, happy without very much sad to balance. I needed those extras.Its a good basis for a story, all the elements are there, good characters, realistic plot, and potential for the jealous/sad parts I need, but without being greatly expanded for me it just didn't come off. I think mainly its because of the length constraint and that’s my fault for not realising it was so short. Still, I’m just one person and others want the shorter novels, ones that can be read easily and fitted into everyday life. I know I’ve friends who need books like that, bust people with little free time who want a book that they can pick up and put down without losing the thread of the story. For them this would be a perfect read.  I’m sure for many readers this story will be exactly what they need, just not for me.Stars: two and a half. Its a good book, but just not one that I enjoy.ARC supplied by Netgalley
