Review: 3.5 - Julian is worth reading this novella
Rating: 4 out of 5

The hero won me over from his very first proposal to Harry where not only did he lay down the reasons he wanted to marry her but on top of that complimented her on her personality and told her she's the only woman he ever cared for - he wasnt in love but neither was she so now why did hard headed Harry say no? because back in those days marriages were based on love and not on at all business - oh wait yes it was. And what Julian had offer was more than business - he told her he genuinely cared for her and that was apparently not good enough for someone who refuses to go to london because of a bad experience and had no other opportunities to meet someone else. I really cant stand heroines who are their own enemies when it comes to finding happiness. I wish Harry had real issues not to marry him as oppose to making up silly excuses but then we wouldnt have a story now would we? I did think it was refreshing that they only got to see each other once a week - so it really gave them time to miss one another now that a courtship was sort of in the works. I adored Julian near the end when he was so tempted by the trap that Harry (who i wanted to slap at this point for being unfair in her agreement) set and he did not fall for it - and Harry still had the low confidence that it meant nothing about him being in love with her - silly woman! Julian is worth the read and I would have liked Harry better if she wasnt so stubborn and swore she knew what was right for her and him without even giving Julian the benefit of the doubt and talking it through with him. Overall though, I did enjoy it and I thought it was perfect length wise.
