Chasing Cassandra by Lisa Kleypas
4.0
I loved this book! Initially, I thought it would rival with Devil in Spring in my all-time top 10 favorites, but towards the middle I found it lacking a bit in comparison.
I loved the idea of Tom being “incapable” of having emotions, and I liked how we got to see Cassandra’s feelings in comparison to Pandora. In Devil in Spring, it would seem that Cassandra was adored by many because she was “perfect” and here, I enjoyed reading that she found herself dull because Pandora was quirky.
I loved Bazzle. His inclusion in the story was my favorite part, I loved how he became a part of Tom’s life after all.
I wish the problem/conflict here was extended more. I wish it wasn’t as easily resolved, but it’s okay, I can live with it. I didn’t like the dock area scene, it felt out of place and I think the book would’ve still been the same without it.
One thing I’ll say that I think should’ve been in Devil in Spring was how the intimate scenes in this book was written. Since Gabriel was said to have a darker and wild side in matters of the bedroom, it should’ve been similar to how Tom was with Cassandra. In comparison, Gabriel’s intimacy tendencies felt light.
Anyway, I still love this book and I’m glad to have read it. After this, I can’t deny that I’m such a big fan of Lisa Kleypas.
