Review: Not This Author's Best

Most of Kate Harper's Regency novellas are quite charming, but this one fell a little flat in plot and lacked the witty verbal repartee that engages me in many of Ms. Harper's other works. It was an "almost" sweet, easy read in which most of the interaction between the hero and heroine takes place within the span of a week. Much of that time the hero is anti-social and avoids the teen-aged heroine, so I felt the heroine's feelings were more like those of a girl in the throes of her first real crush. As for the hero, his change of heart was rather too abrupt to be believable. I can't say I disliked this story, but it didn't sparkle in comparison to other work by this author.
