This novella did what it was supposed to do---made me want to read the author's upcoming debut,Bride for Keeps, A (Unexpected Brides Book #1): A novel. Even though this was a novella, it didn't feel incomplete, rushed, or a waste of time. The two main characters, Rachel and Dex, have insecurities that they don't want to reveal to the other person. Dex is ashamed that he can't read (due to a learning disability), Rachel wants to be a wife/mother but others think she's only an intellectual spinster-in-training (She solves math problems for fun...for fun!). I like good novellas, like this one, because the situation gets resolved quickly and you don't have to wait for the HEA. This novella contained an excerpt from A Bride for Keeps, which picks up 18 years later. We get to see Rachel, Dex, and their 4 kids but the book is about their friend Everett who Rachel's sister dumped!
