Book Description

May 1 1994
She stood at peril's threshold --
then love beckoned her in…

A prim, well-bred gentlewoman, Sara Fielding is a writer who puts pen to paper to create dreams. But now curiosity is luring her from the shelter of her country cottage into the dangerous world of Derek Craven -- handsome, tough, and tenacious -- and the most exciting man Sara has ever met.

Derek rose from poverty to become the wealthy lord of London's most exclusive gambling house. And now duty demands that he allow Sara Fielding to enter his perilous realm of ever-shifting fortunes -- with her impeccable manners and her infuriating innocence. But there is a hidden strength and sensuality to the lady that captivates him beyond his better judgment. And in this world, where danger lurks behind every shadow, even a proper “mouse” can be transformed into a breathtaking enchantress -- and a cynical gambler can be shaken to his core by the power of passion and the promise of love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Emotional, Enthralling, Just Plain Wonderful Jun 20 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is my all-time favorite Lisa Kleypas book with Where Dreams Begin coming a close second. Where most regency romances focus on the English Aristocracy, Kleypas focuses on characters who are not of noble blood. The hero, Derek, is a self made man who was raised in poverty. He struggles fiercely to succeed, and his struggles pay off. He is a successful owner of a gaming hall and very wealthy. The heroine, Sara, is a country girl who has made a success of herself as a writer.

I just loved these two characters. Derek is a hard man, but when he loves, he loves completely and fiercely. He is not the typical "hardened" hero. He has done some very dehumanizing things while struggling to get out of the gutter where he was born, and he doesn't think he is good enough for Sara. Sara is not the typical fiesty heroine but the girl has a backbone and she will not give up. When she decides she wants Derek, the man doesn't stand a chance. I loved reading about these two coming to love each other, and the ending made me cry. Kleypas captures emotion so well, and she makes her characters seem like real people. If you like Lisa Kleypas, Dreaming of You is a must read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Romance at its best! Sep 1 2011
By Dolly
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I had read this book at 16 and now almost at 30, it is still a book I hold close to my heart. I fall in love everytime I read it. There's something about an intense, troubled man that just moves me. Opposites attract at its finest.
