Passionate Persuasion by Rosemary Clement-Moore
3.0
This one needed to be longer for me to fully buy into it. "Passionate" Persuasion is right--the story was sexy and not in a gratuitous way, which I appreciated, but ultimately I wanted a bit more talking and a bit less flirting. I was also really disappointed at having been left without resolution on a key point borrowed from Austen's Persuasion (spoilers blocked out for those who haven't read it, but if you know your Austen, you're safe): . Overall, I really wish this had been a full novel. Even with the length requirements imposed on category romances, I think it could've done with the extra fleshing out. I wanted more development of the two leads and less "time passed and this happened." I wanted more honest discussion between Alex and Kiara about the relationship and their potential future plans. I enjoyed the time I spent on this, it was a fun diversion, but the lack of depth stops me from classifying it as more than that.
