Books like Carter and Demi: A Sensual Affair make me feel justified when I give novellas lower ratings for poor character development or subpar storytelling. ML Bash is proof that your novella can be a full story. Thank you!!! Carter is chef's kiss for me. I thoroughly enjoyed Demi's character and I appreciate that Bash made her question falling for Carter and his true intentions because it was in alignment with her backstory and profession. This is my first time reading a story like this, so it was very unique. ML Bash set a high bar and I will definitely be exploring more of her catalog.
