I consider myself a tough reviewer and so am surprised by the low reviews.  I really liked this story.  Maybe because of the price and for the length that set a certain level of expectations for others.  I do think it should have been more like a $1.99 - 2.99 based on length, but what was there I liked quite a bit.  I am really impressed by Ms. Anderson's writing; maybe 15% of the time I'm not a fan of her books, but overall, she is very consistent in delivering interesting world building and great romance.
