It's my fault. I keep thinking novellas can be actually decent....

The perfect quick read. Brooke is thinking love just really isn’t for her, until one night she meets Grayson and her thoughts begin to shift. She isn’t sure if he’s the real deal or not but she decides to se where it leads her.

Sure Thing was short, sweet, and served as the perfect palate cleanser. Insta-love is usually one of my least favorite tropes, so I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this short story because it really worked here. Reading about these two reminded me of the butterflies you get when you meet someone new, and I loved the nostalgic feel.

Although Brooke is a bit jaded and has been burned by love in the past, she can’t help but be drawn to Grayson, whose sweetness was a refreshing change from the overdone alpha males readers (myself included) tend to favor. Seriously, kudos to the author for writing a hero who is an actual good guy.

Read this if you like short stories with low angst, lots of sweetness, and a touch of spice.
