Good but wtf was wrong with winterbourne?

Also I wish I could have felt Devon change like we saw in West. But I love the family and the Hamlet subplot made me smile. I'm nervous for Helen in this next book but my girl will learn to stand up for herself I know it.

I think this is the first Lisa Kleypas I haven't really liked.

This was…not good. Kathleen was so annoying and unlikeable, I couldn’t figure out what kept bringing Devon back to her. I actually enjoyed Devon’s character a lot, and found myself hoping he’d end up with literally anyone else (even though I knew that obviously wouldn’t happen). Boy deserved so much better.

I would have rated this much lower if it weren’t for every other character in the book though, because they were all fantastic. I loved the glimpse we got of Helen and Rhys, and am excited to jump right into book 2!

at the beginning i liked kathleen and devon together, then i was bored with them and now, as i finished this book, i really dislike them. the best parts of this book were with winterborne and helen, so im hoping the next book will be better.
