I’ll talk about my reservations with Evie in just a moment, but I love me a good Wallflower story. The theme of the quiet/odd girl getting the guy. Also, I found it really fun to learn about the gentlemen’s club and life inside them. I loved the little touches of Victorian culture and society. Now I can’t really comment about whether or not each detail was right, but it sure felt that way. If you have to have a marriage of convenience, he would be a great choice! The fact that it took him so long to say “I love you” made it that much better when he caved in and said it. He had a wry sense of humor that cracked me up and a gallant personality. Sebastian was awesome! I fell in love with him immediately. The slow but steady (not to mention steamy…) journey was great to be a part of. This made it all the more fun and rewarding because you could see that they had undeniable chemistry that would ultimately lead them to each other. It was clear that they cared for each other early on, though they did not realize it. Evie and Sebastian were a good match for each other. Although I think Devil in Winter is imperfect, there were a lot of things I really enjoyed about it and made it a memorable story. This was really enjoyable, and I loved it as my introduction to Lisa Kleypas.
The one I finished yesterday– Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas–was awesome, and I’d like to talk about why it is a four star romance. To accompany me, I have started to read romance novels more often. To combat this, I have relaxed into a routine with tea, melatonin, candles, and plenty of lavender bubble bath.
I have been really stressed out lately with nighttime anxiety. But it’s a big one, and I’m learning my way. It was not until last year, when I read the devastating and delicious Flowers from the Storm by Laura Kinsale that I was taken by the power of the romance genre. I took tentative dives into the romance genre itself over the past few years, first starting out with Kristan Higgins, who is borderline romance-chick lit but certainly not filled with steamy scenes. If you look at my Goodreads shelves, you will see that apart from shelves for designating a year I read a book, the most populated shelf is “ Love Story.” Since I was a little girl, I have dreamed of falling hopelessly in love like the heroines of my favorite novels.
