My review got chewed up by GoodReads. The pain is real.The short version: if you can get past the first 100 lackluster pages and lower your expectations, the book isn't too terrible. I hated the hero and the heroine for a good measure of the book. They didn't have an ounce of chemistry for those fir...

It was actually pretty good. It was set in a different theme than what I am used to reading but I enjoyed it!

This is my first Lisa Kleypas, and it won't be my last. Very Heyerish with a bad-tempered rake who needs taming, and a heroine who refuses to be tamed. And a sub-plot that's the same. Quite enjoyable, with lots of historical detail. I like that it takes place when railroads were being introduced to ...

I’m pleased to have found a Regency romance where the feisty female protagonist is neither TSTL nor grossly anachronistic, and her love interest isn’t grossly misogynist to start.

And Lisa Kleypas is back! Lovely virgins who need to be rescued. Experienced rogues with rough edges and knowing ways. One needs money, and the other one has money. Then there's the absent or lapsed chaperone and the private moment that is too private and much more than a moment. I'm sure you get th...

My review contains spoilers and they're mostly my thoughts as I went with the book...Lisa Kleypas is one of those authors who have introduced me to the wonderful world of current day Historical Romances. It’s been quite a few years yet, for me, the appeal to her novels have never faltered. She’s one...
