Review: Interesting Story But Needed to Be Longer

Let me start off by stating that I love Vanessa Kelly’s writing and Lost in a Royal Kiss is no exception. The writing talent was there but something felt missing. While I liked Lost in a Royal Kiss, I did not love it. I think the biggest problem was the length of the novella; I found it to be short which made the overall story feel rushed. I loved Sir Anthony and Linnet, and I was fascinated by the young Dominic (whose story will be told in a future book). Lost in a Royal kiss is an introductory novella that introduces readers to The Renegade Royals, Kelly’s new series. Without a doubt Sir Anthony and Linnet had sparks but I felt that the bulk of the novella was spent focused on life at court and conflict between the hero and heroine. There are a couple of steamy love scenes which felt thrown into the mix.  I think that this novella would have made a much better full length book that said the courtship was sweet and all in all it was good short story. I am looking forward to reading the follow up books in this series.
