Review

This was a charming and quick read! I read it in about two sittings. As it is a novella, it is on the shorter side, however I still felt the story was not rushed and everything wrapped up nicely. I always love when the heroine and hero are childhood friends. I loved reading about the antics and pranks Rowena got into with Evan as her accomplice. I do wish we had learned more about Evan's sister and her condition but maybe there will be another story about her and her journey to better health. The characters developed nicely and the ending was wonderful!
