I was so impressed with "Pressure Head" by this author that I bought a few other novellas/ short stories by her as well.  Unfortunately, the author's talent has not been apparent in these other works.There was nothing new in this story.  The plot was one of the original romance tropes.  Sometimes familiar tales can be re-told effectively, but there needs to be some unique spin to keep it from becoming a cliche.  No such luck.  There was also a stock character here that was so incredibly obvious and two dimensional that I was in a state of disbelief.  The relationship advanced at an unbelievable speed.  The tale was so detached from reality that I just could not buy into it.
