review 1: I love Grace Burrowes, and even in the novella form, she doesn't disappoint.Morgan and Archer were barely secondary characters in other Burrowes stories...they're sort of third string. Which makes this short even more fun, and shows off Burrowes' skill at character development as she connects all the dots and fleshes them out.Together Morgan and Archer are a great couple. She's concerned about how her disability affects her ability to be a mother. Archer has distanced himself from family, and is reluctant to become too attached to Morgan. As in her other work, the importance of family is a central theme of this story as well. The treasonous plot that Archer's working to solve isn't all that deadly, but provides some suspense and action.It's a strong and entertaining read. ... moreOnly three stars, because it's just too short!
review 2: Grace Burrowes is an auto-buy author for me and once I have her latest in hand, all other activity ceases. I always love to see old characters pop up again in this universe that she has created. I haven't seen heroines with disabilities very often in romance, yet Burrowes handles Morgan's hearing issues with sensitivity and dignity. I felt a great deal of respect for Morgan. She was not a helpless, waif-like creature and in fact she had a hand in helping her hero, Archer, solve the mystery that'd had him at a loss for quite some time. And while Morgan's condition caused her to face certain harsh realities about human nature, it was clear that she was not an object of pity. She didn't bemoan her past and she tried to make every moment count in the present. However once she met Archer, you could feel her sadness as she felt that her hearing issues would truly be a limiting factor in terms of her having a love of her own and a family. Watching the meddling "Duke" up to his usual machinations and overprotective, stand-in big brother, Valentine Windham, definitely brought a light-hearted feel to this novella. And Archer, at turns slick and mischievous as his job demands and loving, tender, hanging on to Morgan's every word, was a wonderful hero and match for Morgan. Since this was a novella, things happen between Archer and Morgan rather quickly. As I love Burrowes' writing so much, of course I wanted it stretched out a great deal longer. But, it was a satisfying quick read - fine as a stand-alone but much richer after you've been introduced to all of the wonderful Windhams. less
