REVIEW: Again the Magic by Lisa Kleypas

KatiA- Reviewsforbidden-love / Historical / Needs a Rec! / Old Favorites / star-crossed lovers20 Comments

Dear Ms. Kleypas: I’ve told this story before, but I’ll mention it again here because it might be the reason why I adore Again the Magic so much. About ten years ago, over Thanksgiving Day dinner, my Dad calmly announced that he’d be having triple bypass surgery the next week. My sister ... more >

REVIEW: Crystal Cove by Lisa Kleypas

JaneB ReviewsContemporary / soul mates / witch25 Comments

Dear Ms. Kleypas: The biggest thing missing in this book was why/how the two fell in love but it’s one of the most romantic stories I’ve read and the caretaker alpha character archetype is taken to a new level of sensuality.  Yes, this is the Kleypas’ bondage book, Japanese style. ... more >

Dear Ms. Kleypas: It’s no secret that I am a fan of your writing so perhaps its impractical for the Dear Author readership that I am the one writing this review but when I received the ARC, I admit to hoarding it. Sorry other DA reviewers, but the good news ... more >

REVIEW: Blue-Eyed Devil by Lisa Kleypas

JanetB Reviews CategoryContemporary / First-Person / Texas41 Comments

Dear Ms. Kleypas: I may be in the minority of readers in this, but I really prefer your contemporary books to your historicals. I find your contemporary voice more confident, fluent, and engaging, and, more specifically, I find Travis series books reliable comfort reads. Since we already had reviews of ... more >

REVIEW: Love in the Afternoon by Lisa Kleypas

JaneB Reviews19th century / Historical Romances / Lisa-Kleypas / PTSD / St.-Martins-Press / war14 Comments

Dear Ms. Kleypas: I’ve never fully understood the phrase “two sides of the same coin”, but my feelings toward Love in the Afternoon perhaps gives new meaning to the saying. This is two books in one which could be a boon except I liked the first book (the first half) ... more >
