Romancing the Book on 5/14/2012, said: Original review by Danielle can be read at Romancing the Book. Back in Your Arms is a moderately enjoyable historical romance set in the regency era. The plot of Back in Your Arms had a lot of potential; however it just wasn’t developed enough for it to reach this potential. This caused it to become overly predictable as there weren’t any surprising developments or shocking revelations that weren’t completely obvious from the start of the novella; the plot just sort of plodded along to the inevitable conclusion. The main characters are likable enough, but without the proper development they came across as overly genetic. There were, however, some extremely interesting secondary characters, such as William and Dash, who outshined both the main characters in interest factor. In fact, the inclusion of these two characters was the best component of the novella. It probably would have been worthwhile to delve into their lives a bit more, since they had the potential to invigorate the novella. It was because of all this potential that it was so disappointing that the novella felt like just one among many regency novellas without anything to make it stand out from the numerous written works set in that era, when if done right it could have been superb. However, despite its faults, fans of regency era romances should still like the novella. Was this comment helpful? yes no   (0 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not) Showing comments 1-1 of 1
