My Thoughts
I loved this novella! I originally got it simply because it was free for Amazon kindle and the plot sounded kinda cute. Then I discovered that it was connected to her novel that I had received for review. So being the crazy must-read-books-in-order person that I am, I decided to quickly read A Gentleman of Her Dreams fiirst. And I was so glad I did! The story is filled with humor that had me laughing out loud several times and is written in a fresh entertaining way. I loved the characters and the love story, and pretty much everything about this book! I love the fact that the dinner party, during which the last scene of this story is set, is where the novel, A Change of Fortune, begins. And we also got to meet the main characters of that book! I highly encourage you to go grab Gentleman of Her Dreams (it's still free!) and enjoy and quick fun read and then, if you like that be sure to read A Change of Fortune! I can't wait to start it!
