Anyone who can describe characters making out while wearing layers upon layers of clothes sound sensual is a good writer in my opinion.

3.5 stars. For such a short story it really drew me into the characters.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? N/A
- Flaws of characters a main focus? N/A

Cute but super short (approx 40 pages) so no room for much character development. Not even sure I’d call this a novella, more like a short story.

Now that she is finally out of mourning, Diana Waverly, Viscountess Merrowstone, is being encouraged to live her life again, starting with the new piano tutor for her stepdaughter. Nicholas Jameson, the tutor, brings her back to life, but at what cost?
An interesting tale that had too abrupt an ending, even if it was expected. This would've been better suited as a longer story. 3.5 out of 5.

The Viscountess Merrowstone, Lady Diana Waverly is just coming out of mourning when her stepdaughter’s piano tutor, Mr. Bent, is called away and a new tutor, Mr. Nicholas Jameson, is recommended to her. Much younger and quite a bit more handsome than Mr. Bent he makes Diana’s heart flutter like it has never done before. In addition, he plays like a dream and her stepdaughter Samantha likes him. So, even though he makes her think of things no lady should think of she hires him as the piano tutor for her Samantha and even considers taking lessons herself. But the looks he’s giving her added to her own naughty thoughts have her believing he might teach her more than the piano. She’s always been so proper. Dare she risk making her desire known to him?
Very well-written this short story is a wonderful quick snack. Diana is a lovely character and Nicholas nearly sets the pages on fire. Well, this is an ebook, but if I had pages they’d be red hot. He’s so yummy! I like the twist at the end, too. Lawson is a new-to-me author, but I’ll be looking into more of her books.

Diana, a recent widow caring for her twelve year old stepdaughter, becomes infatuated with the new piano tutor her best friend recommends. But is there more to this man than his very talented fingers? I think I would have liked this better if it had been longer. As it was everything felt so rushed and condensed--they meet, they make innuendo, they get scandalous, misunderstanding, revelation...end of story. It would have been better served, and maybe more believable, if there was more than a day's worth of interaction between the two leads.
