Devil in Winter question

I've made it a rule (I violate it only rarely) not to read two or more books by the same author in a row. I find that many authors tend to write the same book over and over and, if I love the theme, it's okay as long as I have breathing space (reading something very different) in between.

You won't find that with "Again The Magic" nothing tragic happens with McKenna. He was kicked off the plantation/property but that's about it.

Please stay with LK. She is one of the best writers of historical romance. I have all her books, and re-read every year. I so love her her books that I couldn't pick a favourite.

I've read ALL of her books.... her historical romances are wonderful. She started with a contemporary romance series, 'Sugar Daddy', a rags to riches story...that was an awesome series too. But then she wrote the 'Friday Harbor' series and to be honest, I just don't like that series. I love Lisa, but this last series....not so much.

I agree with Paula in that something happens to every hero. Even though they all get hurt i would not really say that the story-line is repetitive. But the Wallflower series is one of my favorites. I loved Devil in Winter but maybe her writing does not interest you but honestly a lot of romance story have someone getting hurt in them. I would recommend switching authors for a bit. I recommend Kathryn Caskie(The Dukes Night of Sin), Liz Carlyle (Never Romance a Rake)or Eloisa James(When Beauty Tamed the Beast).

I've read the Wallflower series except by the time I got to Scandal in the Spring, I didn't want to read anymore. It just wasn't as interesting with the baby sister to read her story.

It may be that you just happened to read the ones that did have that trope in them. Lisa has written many, many books, and not all of then have that plot point in them. But some do, and it seems that you have come across those ones.

LK wallflower series is one of my best historical romances book. Eloisa James fairies tells series is also a very good one when beauty tamed the beast is one of them.

This generally happens when you read a series from any author. Basically all the heroes or heroines have something that is common throughout all the stories but you would only notice this when you read them back to back. This is not common to her other books

Honestly I think the Hathaway series is better, that really pulled in characters from all walks of life. The wallflowers is all about catching a nobleman (though the woman are very unconvential which adds to the spice), so if that's what your looking for it's a great series.

If not... then I'd try another series. Both are worth reading, what sets Kleypas apart is I think her pacing and humor, she's great at it... you never feel a story sag in the middle like you do many authors. A few named above have this "issue" in some of their novels. Even some of my favorite authors, have misses. Kleypas has been a sure fire bet so far, I've read about 75% of her historicals.

Other authors you might want to try is Julie Garwood, she has a handful that are regency historical that are great reads (Crown Spies). Celeste Bradley "The Pretender" Liar's club series is another excellent one. And try Lorraine Heath's series - Scoundral's of St. James, excellent, excellent series... Oliver Twist type theme all grown up.

I loved only two of the Wallflowers, just loved Marcus Westcliff and loved St. Vincent. Loved all of the Hathaway series more. Loved those gypsies!!
