I got this one as an Amazon freebie. It was a very short novella set in New Orleans in I would say probably the mid-to-late 19th century.This one didn't work for me for a couple of reasons:1. An overabundance of adjectives and adverbs. Not very many of the nouns didn't include a modifier of some sort! This meant the sentences were very heavy, often convoluted, and went around in circles.2. The whole story took place in the span of an evening. One evening and they go from not knowing each other to being head over heels for each other.3. The interactions between the characters weren't always believable - especially for that time period - and their reasons for their actions werent always well developed.4. Her father revealing himself just after they consumated their relationship? Not romantic. And not a little on the disconcerting side.Though it didn't work for me, I have no doubts that the story will appeal to fans of the romance genre.
