Heart of Stone

Far better than I was expecting; a very readable romance. Definitely a slow-burn, but one that the witty dialog easily carries the reader through.

One oddity worth mentioning is the page layout, which presents each paragraph almost in isolation, with only one or two per page. Although this initially seemed an idiosyncratic choice, I actually found that it worked in the book's favour as it gave each paragraph greater emphasis, which in turn gave the dialogues added weight.
