I don't normally read novellas, because they always leave me wanting more, but I love Shalvis and the fine folk of Heartbreaker Bay so much, I just had to read it. Shalvis did such a good job planting the seeds for this relationship in the previous book, and I really wanted to get all the details on Rory and Max. This book had all the things that I love: a sort of second chance romance, atonement/forgiveness, sweet, and schmexy. I really enjoyed watching these two work through their past and plan their future.
