I loved this one! It was a really short novella and it was perfectly done. We had all the misunderstanding that led to being enemies happened in the past before this story takes place. But we get a good long flashback in the 2nd chapter to get us caught up on Marc and Jamie’s history. We don’t quite get the whole details on the actual misunderstanding until the very end, but when it comes, it is just both funny and perfect. I’m using the word perfect a lot in this review I think, lol. But honestly, this is one of the best novellas I think I’ve read in that while yes, I’d love a longer time with these characters, the author gave us everything we needed in the short time to make the story feel complete. I can only hope the rest of the stories in this series live up to this one, although we’ll see since they’re from different authors!
