Well, I was looking for a good novella, but this missed the mark. I just finished it and I don’t even remember some of the character’s names! Polly is a virtual assistant and trying to grow her business. She accepts a job where she has to show up to the site to inspect business records to decide if investing in that company is worth it. She winds up staying at a bed and breakfast and becoming friendly with the family that owns the business, especially Will. But after this job, she’s due to leave and go home.
So the characters felt very stunted, especially Polly. The other characters seem to have a bit of a range of emotions, especially Will, but Polly felt so monotone. She was too proper, I couldn’t tell if she had emotions at all. I was tired of her.
I also felt NOTHING between her and Will. I didn’t get how this was a sweet summer romance. I was bored almost the entire time. Honestly, there were some scenes where there was misconduct at the boatyard and that was more interesting than the romance.
This just missed the mark for me. I’m kind of sorry I paid to read this, even if it was just $1.00.
If you’re at all interested, you can find it here.
