Short and easy
I only played this for 50 minutes, then I went to a walkthrough page to scroll down and see how much game time was left. Looks as though I completed more than 3/4ths of the game so most likely this game would be about 1.5 hours worth of play.
Also one of the easiest hidden object games I've played, although some of the objects are pretty small, so it can sometimes be a bit of a strain on the eyes.
The story seems decent though. Really the graphics could be better, but for some reason games based off of other franchises tend to be sub par.

More Hidden Object And Less Puzzle..
This was just screen after screen of hidden object with very little else going on/not a lot of puzzles between the hidden object scenes. I didn't think it was too short or so easy that it was boring. It is just very relaxing. Cute romantic theme. If you like lots of hidden object scenes then this is the game for you. There are some puzzles but not as many as usual for this kind of game.

Harlequin Presents: Hidden Objects of Desire - A Lovely Romance Story
Graphics: The graphics were nice and clear so you didn't have any trouble. Granted, the graphics aren't the best but they were very simple.
Music: This game had some interesting music but I thought the music really added to the exotic atmosphere of the game.
Puzzles/HOS: The HOS and puzzles were very basic and easy so there isn't much of a challenge here.
Story: An American reporter, Allie, and her photographer/partner, Shaun, are sent on assignment to Aristo to report on the coronation of the prince but things don't go as smoothly as they thought with theft and assassination plots and also the blooming of love.
Overall: This is a nice HOG which is more story based so there isn't much challenge. I would recommend this game if you are looking for a game that you can just sit back and relax. Also one of the benefits of this game is that you get a free book...pretty cool deal.
Happy Gaming :)

Very simple game
This game is very simple and short. I completed it in less than 3 hours. The graphics are nice and some of the HO scenes are fun, but overall it is way too short and easy.

A Decent Diversion into the Realm of Romance for a HOG
This is a title my wife and I picked up in one of the Big Fish sals. While not the most original game out there, it was a decent diversion from the usual plotlines of most hidden object games.
The story, while sometimes predictable, it kept our interest. Some of the items to find where very small and tough to find, but it is sometimes good to have more of a challenge in this genre.
The graphics were OK, but I was not a real fan of the art used for the characters

You will need a microscope for this game!
I could only handle 5 mins of the demo before I had a headache and trashed it. HOLY TINY/BLENDED HOs! I hate it when I have to either use several hints and/or get a headache in just the first HOS! I was really hoping that this game was going to be of good quality, as the storyline sounded so interesting. Too bad. Not a buy for me, and I can't recommend it either!

Story drags, oddball items to find
I found the storyline dragged, especially since this is promoted as a game with a story. The graphics were pretty good, but some of the hidden objects were on the small, impossible-to-see side, and many of them had nothing to do with the story. So you have to wonder: what was the point? I also prefer HO games where the objects in the scene make sense. In these scenes, there was an oddball assortment of items. For example, a fancy hotel hallway contained a car muffler, sea horse, tomahawk, Swiss cheese, bowling pins, and gas mask. Huh? It just felt like the whole game was a mishmash of things thrown together. A book editor would have demanded a rewrite!!
