If It Ain't Love is one of those rare stories--in every way.  Rare that a captivating, lovely cover has equally captivating, loving writing.  Rare that a pure romance is so much more than just a romance.  Rare that a short story felt like a complete novel.I honestly don't feel like I'm overselling when I say that Tamara Allen crafted a masterpiece.  The level of depth, connection, time, scene, and movement was astounding in such a brief work of art.  She did in less than forty pages what I strive to do in over three hundred.  Both the story and the writing is lovely, a term I've already used, but I think it's rather perfect.  There was no gasp of surprise, I knew where the story would go and end up nearly from the first page.  At times, I find that a sign of poor craftsmanship.  Not so here.  Instead, it created a warm, cozy, comfortable blanket sensation.  It made the story timeless.  Free of gimmick and slight of hand.  It was perfect in its purity.
