Review: Just did not work for me

It is time to face the truth, short stories are not my thing. Simply because, well, they are too short and everything always feels rushed.Now I very much liked the characters, mostly Serena really. It's not often a librarian is able to catch the eye of a British Earl, but it seems miracles are happening on Sanctuary Islands.There were other parts that were a bit too farfetched. Leo's secret is very much possible, though considering he is thirty-something that makes it impossible to have kept it a secret for so long. I mean, it really makes me wonder what he does all day.If we skip that whole explanation and Leo's reasoning, we luckily still have the romance between our two lovebirds. I liked how Serena didn't let herself get too impressed with our billionaire and treated him like every other person, except for the fact that she wants to rip his clothes off.Like I said everything felt rushed, which happens very often with novellas and short stories. This all makes it less believable. Don't get me wrong. The Fireside Inn is very well written, the story just didn't really work for me.I do like the author's other works as Louisa Edwards (love those foodie books). So I think I will give the Sanctuary Islands another chance with the full length novel Sanctuary Island.*I received a copy through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*
