Magnificent is just an understatement.... P.E.R.F.E.C.T.I.O.N!!!
Since i first read Mine till Midnight i was captivated by Winn and Kev story. Lisa has delivered another sensational story that will make you smile even when you are far done with the book. I got to say that Kleypas is one of my favorties authors, not to say the # 1!!! she has this way of writing so real and believable that there comes a time that you are so trapped into the story that you don't ...

Beautiful romance
This is one of the loveliest historical romances I've ever read. Sebastian is a darling. Indolent, witty and an amoral rake, he constantly surprises himself by his feelings for Evie and his efforts on her behalf. From the beginning he protects and takes care of her. He never mocks her stutters or social clumsiness. The scene where he asks her what it will take for him to get back into her bed is ...

A Must Read Book About Surviving Abuse (A+ Grade)
There are not many books that can effect you so much that you can hardly bare to start reading a new one. Or you just simply sit and stare into space because you are trying to hold back tears and figure out why such a book has affected you the way that it did.
Lisa Kleypas has reached her zenith with Blue Eyed Devil and is my number one top read of 2008, and will go down in my top 20 of all ...

Being half Irish and half Gypsy he doesn't feel like he belongs anywhere, but he finds himself wanting to belong to Amelia Hathaway.

It Happened One Autumn (The Wallflowers, Book 2)100 reviews
Lisa Kleypas
Avon, 2005
Funny, touching and sexy, what more do you want?
Lillian is my favorite kind of heroine, spunky and wild. She's the perfect disruption to Marcus's stoic facade. I re-read the book last night after reading it about 6 months ago and it was just as good the second time around. I actually laughed out loud in some parts of the book. This is how a romance novel should be.

Secrets of a Summer Night (The Wallflowers, Book 1)115 reviews
Lisa Kleypas
Avon, 2006
I do not agree with most reviewers. A hit!
If I were a writer, this would have been a book I would have enjoyed writing. I suspect Ms. Kleypas smiled wholeheartedly after writing endearing scenes such as "rounders in knickers", "checkmate" or "champagne from slippers". And these are only three such scenes when there are so many I could mention. Overall the story was creative and novel in that it included funny, sad, tragic, loving and ...

Not the best by Lisa Kleypas...
...but still above average.
I adore Lisa Kleypas. She is one of my favorite Romance writers - I like her style, I like that most of her heroes are members of the working class and not only Lords of the Ton, I like the fact that she is able to take a much used plot and turn it something unique due exclusively to her amazing storytelling abilities.
I also adore her because she has given me my ...

A Delightful Early Christmas Gift
I was anticipating this book and was a little nervous because of the length of the book, etc. To say the least, I absolutely loved this book. It was delightful.
Funny thing is, I had wanted it so see what happened to the Wallflowers, kind of a "What's next?" What I didn't expect was to fall in love with the lead characters, Rafe and Hannah. Rafe Bowman is a brash American rake and Hannah the ...

One of the best
I absolutely love this book. I read it when it was first issued and have re-read it many times over the years.
I have never encountered and heroine like Lily or a hero quite like Alex. The humanity of the great romantic pairing is unmatched by any other romance novel I have read. I like the sillines, the darkness, the desperation and the angst. It all works and works well.

Beautiful
Sigh. I just finished reading this love story and am so inspired by the characters it has me itching to write my own story. This is probably one of the best, if not THE best, historical romance novel I've had the pleasure to read. I really am sad that it has ended. I've read so many romance novels in search of something great that would take my breath away and I think I just finished reading it. ...

Magic for Kleypas
This was the first book by Lisa Kleypas that I read and I have to say that I was thoroughly impressed. Her characters were so real and her plot so unique that I had a difficult time putting this book down! This story solidified Kleypas as a favorite author of mine.

Avon, 2003
Absolutely Wonderful!!!
All three stories were amazingly fantastic, which is not very common for anthology books. However, my all-time favorite out of the three stories was by Kinley MacGregor with "Midsummers Knight" with the hero Simon. Just this short story itself is worth purchasing the book. I can't believe how it just made me cry so unexpectedly, it's truly a work of art that Kinley MacGregor delievers, and I ...

This Series Just Gets Better
My favorite of this series, and I have loved the previous two! The description is handled by other reviewers, I will only add that I think the characters are well drawn and have been carried extremely well from book to book. Lisa Kleypas has a number of really well done series in historical romance. She has that special "it" that keeps readers coming back. Nick is one of those characters who ...

Initially fought purchasing this book - ultimately came to love it
I read the back cover and wasn't all that interested in the storyline. It isn't my usual cup of tea, though I love a lot of Lisa Kleypas, so I figured what the heck.
Boy am I glad I purchased it. Usually I like my heros to come from good backgrounds - perhaps abused mentally, but overall wealthy and mannered (what can I say, this is fantasy right??) I also like heroines who are strong but ...

Lovin' Me Some Cowboys!
Liberty Jones is a woman born and raised on the wrong side of the tracks. We are informed by Liberty personally that although she and her momma were poor and lived in a trailer park they most certainly were not "white trash" but were better known as "white poor". This is an important distinction for while Texans detest "white trash" they pity the God-fearin' "white poor" class.
It is at the ...
