Review: The best part is the cover....that should tell you something

I have read some really great short stories / novellas lately.  This, unfortunately, is not one of them.There is potential, and the author's writing is technically correct, but it could've been so much better.  This is a story that deserved to be told with depth, not as a quick drive-by.  The characters, a powerful knight, scarred both on the inside and the out as a youth by an evil uncle, and a lost gypsy looking for her "family" troup, are likeable.  The premise of her dislike for him is quite a stretch, however.  There needed to be more too it.  The "night of passion....with the knight" wasn't enough to carry this story on its own.The ending is also very abrupt and leaves you thinking that the author hit her word limit.  Not the worst I've read, but not nearly good enough, either.
