+++Spoilers+++I confess to being a little disappointed in this novella, which kicks off a new series by this author. I've enjoyed her previous books but I don't think that she did this one all that well. The characters were likeable but as others have said, there was far more passion in the story of the secondary characters Dominic and Chloe. In this the H is a magistrate who is known to the h but she's always avoided him because she senses something between them but she has too many responsibilities. The H is definitely interested but honestly he's 37 and he's been waiting around for 2 years? It doesn't sound like grand passion or romance to me. I also didn't like the fact that he slept with the h but then doesn't see her for a few weeks. I truly hate this plot line in modern historicals because of the risk of pregnancy etc and it doesn't seem very caring. I think the h was just plain stupid since she knew what had happened with one of the other secondary characters so I can't see her having risked pregnancy herself. I hope the rest of the series is an improvement on this short story.I'm glad that the author has decided to write Dominic and Chloe's story some time next year. As for this H and h, they were a little boring and vanilla.
