Helpful Score: 1

Very exciting characters and situation, more on the periphery of "the ton" and a level of sensuality and wildness that you can always count on from Lisa Kleypas. We can't help but fall in love with feisty heroine and hero, but more importantly, we meet Derek Craven whom we will see in his own book. This is such a great series, I wish there were more. Kleypas is so detailed and her writing is so fluid and beautiful. She builds a convincing romance and establishes other interesting characters whom we look forward to reading about in future books.

Update: just re-read this book. Unlike most Kleypas books, it doesn't hold up as well on second reading. I thought the hero seemed a bully, and I wasn't enamored of Lilly's situation and secrets. Even Derek Craven came off as insensitive and boorish.
