Horrible. The main character, Dianna Trowl, got exactly what she wanted just because she wore a dress that was different from the other debutantes. Boring! She never once had any complications because she married someone she just met. Just seemed too unrealistic for my taste and I read fantasy novels, but at least I feel like those can possibly happen. Good thing this was a free book that I acquired.

This mostly felt like an outline and not like a short story. The writing style is great though.

I loved this short story! I give it a 4.5
Kristin did a great job!
I just wish that there had been more about their love story or even a glimpse of their wedding. They were a great couple. Dianna was the perfect mix of witty, stubborn, and tempting. I could totally picture her with her ear pressed against the grate listening to her father talk with Cambridge. I would've done the same thing :)
Aside from parts I wish would've been there this short story was GREAT! Kristin had me laughing out loud and visualizing everything that happened! I can't wait for What the Duke Wants and to see if Dianna is in it and what kind of role she will play! I see her being the stubborn, nosey mother, which is exciting to me :)
Thanks for a lovely read Kristin!

Not so much a novella as a short story.
A young debutante decides to defy her mother and wear a colour other than the staple peach worn by all the other debutantes. She goes to a ball, sees a man, gets caught in a compromising position and they marry. The epilogue is set a long time in the future (like talking about their children).
It was ok but I'd feel short-changed if it was in an anthology!
Seriously half the book is adverts for other stories.

Not bad. I very much enjoyed the setting and honestly wish it was a longer tale.
