Review # 1 was written on 2017-09-01 00:00:00 Marthe Gardner I really love D'Alessandro's work, but I am finding that her earlier novels to be a little too wordy for my taste. Her charming characters, low-angst plots, and easy prose are there, but the pace has been too slow for me to consider them favorites. Love and the Single Heiress is the second book in the Regency series and discusses the sister and best friend of the hero from the first book. Both Catherine and Andrew have pasts with enormous hardship and are scared to love again (for entirely different reasons). I love this trope but found that the chemistry was slow building not for delicious tension but because there was too much internal waffling. When they finally do become an item, my interest had waned and I found myself skimming. I kept reading because I enjoyed the interactions between Andrew and Catherine's disabled son, Spencer, and I wanted to know who the villain was. I also liked Catherine's forthright friend, Genevieve. She probably has quite an interesting story (which D'Alessandro did write in a novella)! Overall, there are some sweet family oriented moments in here, but this book could have been shortened by 50-100 pages. There was too much internal thought and less "experience". The writing style is nice and the characters, particularly the hero, are great, but the plot was just too slow for me to love this or recommend it. Try D'Alessandro's newer, shorter works for a snappier story. No worries though--I am still reading everything on this woman's backlist. I will find more favorites :)
