Tempted by Her Innocent Kiss by Maya Banks

4.0

I really liked the heroine and I thought everyone acted well in character. There were no misunderstandings, there were just MAJOR fuck ups (mostly on the part of the hero). I get so tired of the "Tragic Misunderstanding" particularly when coupled with the noble idiot trope, so this story was a relief. Maya Banks is fast becoming a favourite of mine because she creates characters that I believe I could meet walking on the street.
The bonus story by Brenda Jackson at the end was great. It was short, but she presented things in such a manner that the quickness of everything totally made sense within the context of the story. I love it when I read a short story and I'm not thinking "Well, THAT needed twenty more pages!". The length, pace and everything of this short story was spot-on.
