This is the first contemporary I have read by Kleypas and it has all the great markings of a kleypas romance.
They beginning was very dark. But tension throughout was incredible. Love stories with these big dynastic families.
Also it has been said before. But no one does a talisman like Lisa Kleypas.I am specifically referring to the charm bracelet. It plays such an important symbol in how Haven sees herself, who she wants to be and her acceptance into her family. The symbolism of Nick holding it hostage after the divorce is like she can’t move on yet not just from her trauma from nick but childhood as well. I think Kleypas is a genius.
There are some non-politically correct throw away lines in this book that were a little jarring, but most of these characters are stated as been “non-politically correct Texans” and for 2008 it feels pretty tame in context.
