This is the best of the Harlequin comics that I've read, mainly because the story here is well paced and doesn't feel rushed. There isn't some big misunderstanding keeping the couple apart; there are real obstacles, which I like.
The weakest part of this was the art. It's manga style, but it's not amazing. The hero is usually drawn well, the heroine less so. It's not awful, just generic, which is a shame, as the story fits the format so well.
Overall, I did enjoy this. It didn't feel rushed like most of these tend to be, and I liked the main characters and their romance.
