I enjoy novellas. I like the emotional punchiness that yet respects the fact that sometimes I'm stealing reading time from my day.Loretta Hill has a clear, bright, Australian voice. It makes her characters very real.I had two problems with "One Little White Lie".One, the hero's name was Henry. Okay, so this is a very personal and odd response, but I once worked with a Henry. Without going into details, that name is banned from my life as a name for a hero. Ick.Two, can a story be romantic if the hero and heroine lie to one another?As you can see, my first problem was not really a problem. Just a quirk that I got over as this Henry became real to me. The second problem was more of an issue, but ultimately, the way Loretta Hill developed the characters made me understand the lies. I liked Henry and Kate. You'll want them to have their happy-ever-after too.
