Review: A Hint of Romance

I normally would have enjoyed such a story where the hero and heroine have a history together. A couple of things stopped me from enjoying this story. I found the action slow moving and we were treated to the characters' thoughts than actual dialogue. Where there was dialogue, it was oftentimes cryptic. No wonder there was so much misunderstanding because the characters insisted on being ambiguous or stop short from having any meaningful discourse. I found the love scenes frustrating. I wished that Lily had told Arthur about her fears, then maybe we would see some of the feelings develop. Why did Arthur stay away so much? How or why did his letters go missing? It would've been nice if his letters did get through to Lily. That would've been so much more romantic. Oh and the idea that Arthur had some feelings for Lily's mother, albeit some sort of "puppy love", didn't sit quite well with me.
