Based on the description, I expected this novella to be dark and sexy. It wasn’t. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but I do think it’s a good idea to manage expectations going into it. Ultimately, the story ended up being a bit like cotton candy. It was light and fluffy, but didn’t have a lot of substance. The characters are not fleshed out (which is understandable given the length of the book), but they are easy to get to know and are quite likable. The plot (yes, we’ll call it that) is simple and to the point. That being said, cotton candy is a treat, as is this story. It reads a little young, which makes it a good palette cleanser between long books, or ones with heavy content. As an on-going series it can be fun.

The storyline’s not engaging enough. And there’s no chemistry or sexual tension between characters.

This book left me confused. Sorry. I guess it’s not for me.
