In sum, although the full length novels in this series are lovely and well-worth the read, this novella is definitely skippable. Moreover, Diana's behavior is exceedingly far removed from the accepted social norms of the time, which makes suspension of disbelief virtually impossible.įinally, the confrontation and revelation at the end may be sweet and emphasize Aaron's swoonworthy qualities, but it is also borderline absurd and ridiculous. Diana and Aaron come across as stereotypical representations of their respective social classes ,and the conflict between them feels clichéd and predictable.
While the story has its charming moments and Aaron and Diana certainly steam up the pages, the lack of character depth and development makes it difficult to become immersed in the romance. Unfortunately, this short epitomizes all that is problematic with novellas. Will they be able to put aside society's dictates and find happiness together? Gathering the courage to act on their desires against all social propriety, Aaron and Diana cherish the stolen moments they share in his forge until scandal threatens to destroy their new found love. Instead she is attracted to the most unsuitable of men, Aaron Dawes, Spindle Cove's strong, silent and sexy blacksmith.
Beautiful and elegant, Miss Diana Highwood is destined to marry a wealthy, well-placed nobleman. Despite her mother's claims that she is destined to marry a wealthy and titled lord, Diana Highwood has never had such aspirations herself. Take a trip to Spindle Cove in New York Times bestselling author Tessa Dare's gorgeous and sexy Regency romance.
