Review: A Quick Read
Rating: 3 out of 5

With most short stories / novellas, finding a balance between too much backstory / exposition and too little is difficult, and ones in the romance genre tend to struggle the most. In this instance, while the pacing was better than others I've read, the pace was still a bit too fast for me if the objective was to build a connection with the characters that went beyond their tryst. Allaire did well showing how the characters related to and felt about each other, which, when combined with her dialogue and ability to avoid the cliché phrases that crop up in books like this, made this story easily as enjoyable as 50 Shades.
