I like the way Ms. Kelly writes - but I haven't really liked the books I have read by her - I have always found her work to be hit or miss for me.  In fact, the only reason I got this novella was because it was free and the blurb looked interesting.  I am so glad I took a chance - it was fantastic!I loved Anthony - he was my kinda hero!  He knew what he wanted and was determined to get it - and he wanted Linnet. Linnet was a bit of a puzzle to me, she wanted Anthony - but avoided him like the plague, she wasn't playing hard to get, so I had a hard time understanding why she kept avoiding him.I liked that Anthony didn't give up on her and that she didn't let him totally dominate her - she was bossy and managing and didn't want to change - bit what she doesn't realizeIs that is what he loves about her - he thinks she is perfect the way she is and will be a perfect partner for him. He doesn't want to change her - he wants to take care of her.Linnet comes to Anthony for help when she happens upon one of the royal wards (Dominic) beating up Prince Ernest because of an incident with the Tudors daughter Chloe She knows Anthony will be able to fix everything.They meet again at a house party (Anthony's doing) and things heat up. But again Linnet runs away.Weeks go by and Dominic gets in another scrape so again Linnet runs to Anthony. But this time Anthony is not going to let her get away!  Loved it.This novella, while short packs a punch and sets up the new series beautifully - I enjoyed it so much I have picked up the next book Secrets for Seducing a Royal Bodyguard.
