Where Passion Leads, Mar 10 2000
This review is from: Where Passion Leads (Paperback)
Yet another great book by the talented Lisa Kleypas... Rosalie seems a bit too naive in the beginning, but as she blossoms under Randall's protection, she becomes more secure and aware of the world. The book is filled with passionate scenes, but also has a particular scene that touches the heart. As they fight the adversitites to stay together, they also realize that the only thing that matters is each other. The back cover of the book reads: "'Love, be still,' he whispered, and slipped one arm around her back as he wonderingly stroked her yielding flesh, arousing her with the sensitive brush of his fingers. 'You're perfect...' Beautiful young Rosalie Bellau was swept up into an aristocratic world of luxury, license and intricate intrigue when the most notorious and handsome rake in London, Lord Randall Berkeley, abducted her in the belief that she was any man's for the taking. Before he realized his mistake, he had branded her with his desire--and lost his heart to this girl so unlike any he had ever known. Both Rosalie, waking to womanhood, and Sir Randall, learning the power of love, were in the dark about each other--until the flames of passion lit their way through a labyrinth of danger...to the dazzling heights of ecstasy..."

First book by Kleypas... and it shows... (D Grade), Feb 10 2003

From the back:
Beautiful young Rosalie Belleau was swept into an aristocratic world of luxury, license and intricate intrigue when the most notorious and handsome rake in London, Lord Randall Berkeley, abducted her in the belief that she was any man's for the taking. Before he realized his mistake, he had branded her with his desire- and lost his heart to this girl...
I believe this was Kleypas's first book written and it shows how far she has come as a writer. There are many problems with this book, including the hero raping the heroine in the first 70 pages and Rosalie accompaning Rand to France even though he violated her violently. Yet she soon falls in love with him and passion insues between them both. There are one-dimensional villians and a storyline that is boring and tecious along with love scenes that the reader has seen over and over. (yawn)
If you are a fan of Kleypas you will probably be disappointed in this book because her newer ones are exceptionally written. Skip this one. Not one of her best.

OKAY...., Oct 14 2011
By Rebekah Clark "Bekah" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Where Passion Leads (Paperback)
After the main characters first encounter I didn't even want to read this book. I was totally upset and I really didn't want their relationship to progress. As far as Lisa Kleypas books go it was not her best. Writting style wise I thought it was her usual style which I love but I really disliked both of the main characters through most of it.
