At only four pages of actual text, Just a Number is even shorter than most free e-book quickies I've read. In spite of its brevity, I found it to be a cute, upbeat story of Karen, a hairdresser, and Sam, her client, who discover through a discussion at her salon one day, that age is really just a number. I liked that the hero and heroine were both mature, something of a rarity in romance. I enjoyed the couple and their conversation enough that I would have liked to see where things went afterward. The story is told in first-person from Karen's perspective. I had never read anything by Jocelyn Saint James before, but her writing style seemed solid and left me with an interest in possibly trying some of her other works.

Note: I acquired Just a Number as a free e-book from The Wild Rose Press, but it appears that they are no longer offering it for download, nor is the author or any other site that I can locate at this time. ( )
