I started and finished
yesterday. Stayed up late to finish it.It has been a while since I read a satisfying PNR book and truly enjoyed this one. I thought the characters were quite sensible. The hero was hot, the heroine feisty...and though they have challenges in their relationship...i'm so pleased to meet characters who don't do stupid stuff....5 stars

How the hell did I forget that new historical romance by Lisa Kleypas is out??? Thank you for reminding me! I'm in for
.
A Christmas Kiss is free on Amazon right now.I will probably read that one. I am on the waiting list for the new Kleypas, but may not get it in time.
Random Book List Challenge #262I finished reading My Life as a White Trash Zombie by Diana Rowland and loved it! It was really funny, but I love the main character. She's so flawed and those types of characters are so interesting. Reminds me of Unholy Ghosts which is really good too.
Finished
on the 4th. 3.5 starsI'm a big LK fan and was over the moon when I hear there is another historical romance by her. My expectations were very high. 'Cold-Hearted Rake' was nice, but I have read better novel by her. Still there is a promise of a good romance series. The side characters were more quirky and intriguing than main couple and I can't wait for their stories.

It gets better after about 20-30% when Devon's brother and cousins get bigger roles in the story.

I guess getting into new narrator can be tough. I could not tell, I can't concentrate on audiobooks at all. :(
BTW Did you give it another chance? How did it go?

I felt the same way. It felt like someone tried to copy/merge her 'Devil in Winter' and The Hathaways with mediocre success.
Well I am so sad so I have to read another LK book to wash my mind of this taste. My two current audio choices for reading palate cleanse:
or
. Any thoughts on which?
I've read 'Somewhere I'll Find You' and didn't like it. It was 3 years ago and I don't remember anything now. (except GR rating).Sorry I was not of more help.

Alright. I just read
I read
today, Nov. 17th. For a short story it packed a lot of emotion. I really enjoyed this little freebie. I was rooting for Stephen and Amelia from the first page. 4*
I read both
and
for this list.I enjoyed the Kleypas book although I have to admit I am more interested in the secondary characters. 4 stars
A Christmas Kiss was a pleasant short read. 3 stars
I too read Cold-Hearted Rake and I'm feeling slightly underwhelmed. Like others said, I am more interested in the secondary characters.
