development was lackluster.I received this book for free from Author in exchange for an honest review This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Here s the thing about this novella I wanted to like itthan I did And I wanted to like it not only because it s Courtney Milan, one of my favorite historical romance authors, but because it brings some much needed diversity to the romance genre Not only is this a f f romance, t both characters are over 65 However, as much as I will alwa I received this book for free from Author in exchange for an honest review This does
