If
you've never had the pleasure of reading a Turano novel, this one is a good place to start. It is a free prequel to a new series and is a
good example of Turano's entertaining writing style.
I
usually find that romance novellas have feelings that develop too
quickly. Turano has solved that problem by designing the plot as a
reunion. Wilhelmina and Edgar had grown up the best of friends.
Because of an embarrassing situation at her coming out ball, they
haven't seen each other for years. When she sees him unexpectedly,
she knows she has never stopped loving him. But does he still love her?
While
restoring the romance is an enjoyable aspect of this novella, my
favorite aspect of all of Turano's work is her humor. There are laugh
out loud parts in this novella. In addition, the characters are well
drawn and the dialog is snappy. There are a couple of moral lessons
included too. All in all, an enjoyable read, setting us up for the
full length novel soon to come.
My
rating: 4/5 stars.
