Review

"I am in awe of the exceptional talent Lisa Kleypas has as a storyteller." -- --Rendezvous --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

Book Description

Lady Madeline Matthews would rather shame herself than sacrifice her freedom – which is why, to avoid a marriage to an aging, lecherous lord, she seeks out the company of Logan Scott. A torrid affair with the notorious womanizer would surely condemn her in the eyes of good society. Though a legend in the bedchamber, Logan is, in truth, an intensely private man tormented by past betrayals. Now a forward little minx is disrupting his life with her vibrant charm and unspoiled beauty, a high-spirited enchantress completely at sea in London’s sophisticated whirl. But when what begins with a kiss threatens to blossom into something more rapturous and real, will Logan and Madeline have the courage to drop the masks they hide behind in the name of love?

This review is from: Because You're Mine (Mass Market Paperback)

It would be fair to say that I had developed a taste for brooding, cynical heros who are capable of tenderness and love under the right provacation long before I discovered kleypas. So it is no surprise that I liked this book.

Logan is one of those heroes who just captures your imagination. I first read about logan in kleypas' Somewhere I'll Find You... and I was so into his character that I couldn't wait to finish the book so I could pick up his novel. The heroine is a typical young, idealistic, naive, innocent girl with a bubbly personality... a neat foil for logan's brooding masculinity. It might've seemed a little over-the-top for some, but it didn't bother me much! In fact, I loved it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Varying Views..., May 9 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Because You're Mine (Mass Market Paperback)

It's very interesting to see the differing views of this book from the other reviews. I am a fan of Lisa Kleypas; the other books I've read by her have been outstanding. I didn't particularly care for this one, though, and had to make myself finish it. I found the romance between an extremely innocent and naive 18-year-old and the very sophisticated and cynical Logan to be, well, icky. I usually don't mind that age difference so much, but I've realized that authors usually try to present a younger heroine as being older than her years in some way, and Kleypas didn't bother to do that. The plot was improbable...both her motivation for trying to seduce him and his immediate obsession with this really rather ordinary "heroine." His interest seemed to be based on her looks, freshness and innocence...all qualities that eventually disappear -- not a basis for a lasting relationship.

Not a terrible book but don't buy this as your first Kleypas book. I'd recommend "Someone to Watch Over You" or "Dreaming of You" instead.

4.0 out of 5 stars It had it's flaws, but still a very enjoyable book.
I had seen this book before and never felt compelled to buy it, for some reason I didn't think an actor would make a very good romance novel hero. Read more
