Blue-Eyed Devil by Lisa Kleypas

5.0

Ok, yep, I knew going into this book that I was already going to love Hardy Cates, and Kleypas delivered that long, tall-drink of a Texas man to her readers. Not only did I love Hardy, but I loved Haven’s character too. In an “all the content warnings” marriage, Haven’s backstory helps make her connection to Hardy so beautiful, even when it seems all odds as well as the entire Travis family are against their dating. Kleypas is the master of moving two characters towards each other, building tension and passion, and then making you wait, knowing you WILL get that HEa on the other side.
What I personally also loved in reading Blue-Eyed Devil, was what seems to be a genuine connection between the author and Houston. Hailing from the outskirts of the city myself, I felt as if I was falling in love with my hometown all over again. Geography, social circles, the oil industry…all reminded me of why Texans are such a proud people.
I can’t wait to read Jack’s story next. The audio for this series is fantastic.
