This story is short but very sweet. Elyse and Simon are childhood friends (through his sister) and they meet up years after last seeing each other. She recognizes him, he can't place her but the sparks ignite into a conflagration. Being a short book (hence, the #0.5 in the title), all the action happens quickly and we move from sizzle to catching fire to the hose putting things out in record time. Robin Kaye is a great writer and, given some time, this plot could have been developed into a full book (hmmm, fan fiction could take it there, this is sometimes how I drift off to sleep).I like Ms. Kaye's writing and this book/novella lives up to her standard. It's short, sweet and worth reading as an intro to the Bad Boys of Red Hook series. It's a little expensive ($2.99, Kindle) when you compare the length to others at that price level but I didn't mind so much given that I like the author.
