A review by gitanita
Blue-Eyed Devil by Lisa Kleypas

5.0

Just like the whole Travis trilogy, with all the romance, love and the inevitable and really well-written juicy stuff, there is a serious theme going on in the story. This one addresses the issues of narcissistic personality disorder and abusive relationships. It is obvious that Ms. Kleypas did an extensive research on the subject (both sides - the abuser and the victim) and her writing is so gripping that I felt anxious reading the scenes with abuse. But the romance part manages to lighten up the atmosphere of the story and you find yourself believing in a possiblity of a happy ending for people who went through some kind of hardship. There is a quote in the book that sums up the whole situation perfectly:
"I have come to realize you can never be truly happy unless you've known some sorrow."
I do believe this to be entirely true. :)
