Not So Fairy-Tale But Even Better!

The book is a sequel to Then Came You. The first book doesn't have to be read to understand this book, but you learn some things about Derek from that book. Well, Dreaming of You is about the prim, well-bred lady, Sara Fielding and Derek Craven, the owner of the most exclusive gambling house in London. Sara, a writer, goes to London to do research for her next controversial book. Derek is accosted by two men in a dark alley and is saved by the pistol-wielding woman, Sara. So now he is in her debt and she wants him to grant her permission to use his club as 'research'. He rejects, absolutely refuses to put her in such a dangerous environment, but the little miss can be quite stubborn.

I love Lisa Kleypas's books. This book has become my favorite (close tie with her Wallflower series). I was wondering through a book store and happened to spot a book of hers out of place. I picked it up and it happened to be Dreaming of You. I read the back and had to get the book and finished it that day. I love the fact that the main character, Derek, isn't a haughty aristocrat or an aristocrat's illegitimate child and was able to become rich with self-determination. He was handsome but not disgustingly, perfectly so and very analytical. I just loved Kleypas's writing. Humorous but cynical. And putting the logical, street-toughened man with the expressive, well-bred county girl, Sara, was an exciting match. I loved how Sara was able to keep putting herself into his life and he was forced to acknowledge her when all he wanted was to keep the irresistible minx away! The part where Sara goes to Derek's masquerade a transformed temptress and enticed all the unknowing men including Derek was my favorite part of the book. Sara was adorably innocent when mixed up with the wicked Derek. It was a delightful read. I definitely recommend this book to all romance book lovers.
