Review: Short but good!

Very short (less than 68pgs) but sweet & it didn’t feel rushed or incomplete with a wonderful writing style.The rake who protects his heart falls for the proper lady (a widow) after an affair which lasts a week she calls it off knowing that she has fallen for him. In their ensuing separation, he realizes how much he misses & needs her.I like that even though the story was short, you get a sense that their love develops through a kindred spirit, that Cale genuinely appreciates Elizabeth as an intelligent, caring woman & not just for her beauty whereas Cale speaks to Elizabeth as someone who values her opinion and who makes her smile.& of course how could one not adore a hero who owns a lending library & bookshop? Who gifts the heroine with a book after their 1st meeting?A beautiful quote at the end of the story:I only let you go to protect myself, but staying away was far worse. These three months have beenhell. I can’t,” he drew in a breath, “I can’t live without my heart.”
