This book is a beautiful love story. Derek Craven is a self-made man who is not interested in love, and certainly not with a sheltered provincial spinster like Sara. But when he falls for her, he falls hard. The beauty of this story is how deeply Derek comes to love Sara. Some of the things he says to her, and the way he shows his love move d me intensely when I read it, and still do, though it has been years since I read this book. And Sara is worthy of his love. She might be rather plain and c...more

I read this book at least once a year, and have been doing so for the past 5 years. There really are not enough words for this love story. Each time I read it, I think that I've romanticized it in my mind, and each time I am left with the same amazed, giddy, and warm-fuzzies that I experienced that last time I read it. If you are a romance fan...this is an absolute MUST READ. DEREK CRAVEN is a name that you'll take with you to the grave!

There are many trials and ups and downs Derek and Sara face throught the book; it is non-stop action from the very beginning. They have got the sweetest relationship.

In repayment for saving his life he lets the spinsterish but adventurous Miss Fielding into his club for her research; however, the little “mouse” seems to be getting under...more

Okay, I'd like to start off this review by saying that if Lily were alive in this day and age, this would be her fave T-shirt:
She invades this book with her sexist bitchiness, always blabbing on about how men are "useless creatures" and "easy to manage" etc... It's a wonder she actually decided to marry a man, what with the way she loathes them.
Moving on from Lily.

Still today, a full ★★★★★!!!
A GoodReads friend, Amanda, just asked me if Kleypas’ Gamblers series was as good as the Wallflowers series. All I could do was answer with a rhetorical question: Is any series as good as the Wallflowers? However, this book is the best in this series, IMHO, though some people will surely disagree. And they are almost right, as the first in the series, Then Came You, is a close second. Dreaming of You’s Derek Craven has his own fan club in W♥LK group’s Hero Threads...more

I don't even know how to being to describe how much I liked this book. So, far every book I have read by this author(and there hasn't been too many since I just started reading LK), I've just loved. Besides It Happened One Autumn, Dreaming Of You is my favorite LK book. Our hero Derek Craven is just addicting, and intriguing - even when he's being an ass. I had a hard time putting this one down.

Fantastic! I would give this book more than 5 stars if I could. Has everything I love about the historical romance genre. I just adore both Sara and Derek. I thought I loved Alex and Lily from the first book but not as much as these two. Just wonderful.
I am very new to Lisa Kleypas and am absolutely ecstatic to say I found a new favourite author and one who I already have a lot of her backlist. Yippee!

Just as I was expecting Dreaming of You was an excellent read. I mean, it’s a Lisa Kleypas book, so what were the odds of the contrary? That’s right, negative 1.
Like all the other books by the author, Dreaming of You is smart, intense, funny, sexy, and I just wanted to jump into the heroine’s skin and live the story myself.

I had heard that Derek was Lisa Klepas's most tortured hero and I was not dissappointed. He was tormented and complex. I absolutely loved him. I daresay he was a lot better than St.Vincent.
I also liked how the story was over a few months and does not take place within a week.Sara was a strong heroine worthy of having derek.
