Review: Jo Beverley is on of my TOP authors but something was "off" with this novella!

I love all of Jo Beverley's books never read one I didn't like but this one makes me feel like I'm missing something.Why would you have a scheming heroine in a novella where you can't develop her into one that wins you over to her side? Why have a hero that falls for a woman, learns she's lied to him and isn't even upset and sort of ho-hum about being lied to by his bride-to-be?This would be great in a novel where they could grow and change but in this book I never bought into that she loved him and I just think this did not seem up to what I'd expect from Jo Beverley.  I loved the children and the reception by the servants all rang true but the main characters deserved and needed a full-length book in my opinion.I do love the fact that any book I read by Jo Beverley has no mental "blips" (English grammar problems) and no modern sayings using in a period of at least one hundred years too soon!  I'm really sorry and feel bad to say I didn't really feel satisfied with this book but I must.
