After re-reading, this is still as magnificent as it was the first time. This cast of characters is so wonderful and I loved the way their stories are woven together.

AMAZING. I was so excited to read Cam’s book (if he had one) after reading Evie and Sebastian’s book and wow this did not disappoint. 

This Kleypas had a lot of what I usually find missing in other Kleypas books: a good connecting flow between the romance and the action. I’ve sometimes felt a pause in romance then some action and then play on romance and then action during some Kleypas books and it sort of agitates me. I don’t hate it but it does bother me when it happens.

Cam was hot and I love it when there’s a hard working mc and then the other mc is like “I’m gonna take care of you because you take care of everyone else” and so when they’re with each other is the one place the caretaker is being taken care of, it’s adorable.

I can’t wait for Leo’s book and Win and Merripen AND Beatrix/Beatrice OMG I HOPE THERE’S A SCENE WITH HER ANIMALS CAUSING A MEET-CUTE!!!

Minus .25 because WHERE THE F IS MY EPILOGUE!!!
