Tedious. That's the word that can best describe how I feel about this novella. It was peppered with too many inane statements that don't really push the story towards a goal.
There was also the lack of chemistry between the main characters. Yes, it was described how they were attracted to each other but none of that "frisson" or "zing" or overwhelming desire.
It's funny, now that I think about it, the guy in the story had trouble putting emotion into his story. This novella is the same. Quite flat, not convincing enough.
There were some parts that were confusing too, or rather, it made me go "What the..?". I mean, the heroine says "We shouldn't do this" and then after a line or so she goes "Why are you holding back, what makes you afraid". The hero is only a little more decent.
Ah well, I'm certainly not going to read this again.
