The emotional arc for Sebastian seemed a bit quick to me, but besides that I liked his and Jocelyn's story. I think a full length version of this story would have only helped strengthen it. More backstory of Jocelyn's decision to do what she did would have been great as well.

I enjoyed reading this novella. I think the relationship was built up pretty well for how short the story is, and I liked the characters and their passion. Sometimes the book was more violent than I would have liked, though.

I really like Stacy Reid's writing, but her books are sometimes not my cup of tea. Some of what she writes is more towards the erotica side of things than I personally prefer, without the emotional connection that I look for in romance. This novella had the romance that I was looking for though (even if it was short), so I'm happy.

Editing for this wasn't a %100 job. It was a fun little story though.

Alas, I thought this was a full length novel and instead it was a novella. Pretty well paced and fun, but I still am not a fan of the narrative brevity a novella requires.

This was very unrealised. I know it's a novella but far out, everything happened at the speed of light and they have sex once and it's love?

It would have been better as a full length novel. The ending was rushed. I blinked and I was 70% through the story.
