In Razor's Edge, Jack is in love with Rachel and has been for years. Unfortunately for him, she's his best friend's widow and he was in love with her before his friend died so he's struggling with guilt over his feelings. Not to mention he has a dangerous job that *he* thinks Rachel can't handle. Rachel was wildly in love with her husband, but the woman she became after he died isn't that same woman anymore. After he died she became a single parent and started her own business. She's more independent and secure in who she is and she knows what she wants: Jack. I love how she made the first move on him because she knew he'd never do it on his own. He's sort of this caveman (her words) type of man in the bedroom but there was complete give and take between these two characters and it was very hot (and romantic). The bedroom scenes were very well done, but more than anything I loved the way their relationship progressed.This is a great example of a fully developed novella. Novellas are so hard to do and I'm usually left feeling as if either there wasn't enough plot or it was too rushed in the relationship department. Not so with this one. Jack and Rachel have been emailing and calling each other for the past two years even though he hasn't been back to see her. He's godfather to her son and he's also stayed in touch with him over the past couple years. The couple had enough history with each other that it worked for this story. I won't say much more without revealing spoilers but this couple had to work for their happy ending and I loved how strong both characters were without overshadowing each other.There is a lot of inner conflict for such a short read and I really enjoyed this. For a bite-sized read when you don't have time to read a full book, I highly recommend this sexy novella.
