Is there any chance of bringing back her out of print books for all of us to read. I think I would enjoy these more than any of her new contemporary books.

While the plot thickening details are a bit genre predictable, the descriptive writing, especially in the beginning was rather lyrical and well done, overall, a charming book. never having read any of her other books and being a romance sceptic at best, I picked this up as light reading chick lit and was pleasantly surprised.

I'm not big on first person but as a major Kleypas fan, I'll still give it a chance. If I don't like it, then I may just stick to her historicals.

Sometimes when an author crosses a barrier it works very well. I adored the two Heath contemporaries and would love to see her write more. So although I'm up in the air on this one, I'm certainly open to try any future contemps Lisa Kleypas writes. And I didn't think I'd like first person books that much either but then I read Linda Howard's and loved, loved loved them.

To be completely honest, I'd buy this book no matter what, simply to support the continuation of Kleypas's willingness to try something new. Granted, I hate that she left historical Romance, but since she plans to return, I DON'T want her to be one of those talented writers without a contract someday. Hers is one of the few voices that I enjoy even when it's overly familiar.
