Review: Sad that MORE than half of the download is excerpts for other books
Rating: 3 out of 5

It is advertised as a novella on the cover...I get that. I understand what that means, but on my kindle the book was finished at around 39%! I would have given this another star for the story....because it was actually a romance novel(la) that allowed a romance/relationship to build before they "get it on".**spoilers**My minor gripes with the story is that the heroine is like "deathly" afraid of thunderstorms. When the brother, Morse, reveals something that he shouldn't have....the heroine runs out into a thunderstorm. The Hero then goes searching for her. If she is soooo afraid of thunderstorms, why would she run outside into one? Now...the author used this as her moment for the Hero and heroine to come together and now the heroine had a new memory to associate with thunderstorms...and that's ok, but just read the story. The declarations of love and the "moment" could have been handled in a different way or different place. You'll understand what I mean when you read it. And I feel I have to call foul on the Hero's declaration of love to the heroine. He said that he loved her at first sight. Ummmm, no he didn't. He was a "brute"...his eyes/heart was not open to anything because of his beliefs that he wanted to love before entering marriage. He was being forced into this marriage and therefore was quite closed off from even "looking" at his new wife.I would recommend this story...I actually liked it. I liked the Hero and the heroine...just felt the author shortened her story too quickly. She had a good thing going here...but it does whet my appetite to look into the titles she has. And she has plenty of them included on this download.
