Sometimes love happens when you least expect it…

She's loved him for years...

But that plan falls into tatters when his mother sponsors his sister's friend and enlists him to dance with her at Almack's. The beautiful vixen he meets that night bears little resemblance to the shy, gangly girl who used to follow him around. Now, instead of avoiding Charlotte, he finds himself frustrated when she seems to notice everyone but him.

Now, instead of avoiding Charlotte, he finds himself frustrated when she seems to notice everyone but him A charming novella that I read in one sitting, the characters have depth & the story flowed well plus it introduced me to some of the characters in the rest of the series. It sparled my interest enough for me to now read the rest of the series

Although it was only 36 pages NOT 44, I did enjoy it even though the story line has been done to death. This author is good at spinning a yarn but should at least try to write something original.

No backstory to characters and no tormented heroes one would expect from such novels. Charlotte is pretty good but all that is wasted against a much obliging partner.
