On July 24 I received a copy of Ardor, from the author Elena Reyes, to read and review.  The synopsis she provided was intriguing and I eagerly dove into the pages of the novella.  At only 106 pages, on the PDF doc, it took just hours for me to read.Immediately the pages left me asking questions. What is the name of his wife/ex-wife's friend, what does Gregory do - other than own a business, why does he say he is a failure at love and what led to his wife's infidelity?  What does Jasmine do to captive him, other than be incredibly beautiful?  I hoped that some of these questions would be answered in the coming pages.Chapter 1 began to answer my questions. Gregory's wife, Cassandra's, friends name was Kurt.  We also learn more about the business Greg runs. It is a store, perhaps a something like a Walmart, that seems to do a fair amount of business.We never do learn what else Greg enjoys, outside work, or exactly what about Jasmine captured him but those things quickly did not matter.  What matters it that, after a very rocky start, that there is a Happily Ever After ending - or the reader is left to assume that there is. What I would love is to see a second novella, or full novel, that shows that things work out.While this started out a bit rocky, with some spelling and grammatical errors in the Prologue, it quickly built up speed and ended very well! Thank you for sharing this with me, Elena!
