While it may be annoying to some, I enjoyed how hard and long Alex had to work to get Lily to trust him. Lily has also been damaged in her past and finds it impossible to ever trust a man again. He is so stoic on the outside but such a cinnamon roll on the inside, especially when it comes to his brother. I loved Alex's character and how he fell so hard for Lily. The more time the two spend together, though, the more antics they engage in and the closer they become.

The moment Alex and Lily meet, Alex wants nothing to do with Lily and thinks she is wild and inappropriate. Alex is an earl who lost his fiancé to a riding accident and he is now engaged to Penelope, Lily's sister. Now, she's back in order to protect her sister from a marriage she knows won't suit her. Lily is ostracized from her family for being too eccentric. I loved this book so much and was all in for the enemies to lovers situation happening. I just finished reading her second book of the series Dreaming of You and it was absolutely fantastic! One of my favorites!

It brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart.Įven though my first taste of Lisa Kleypas was not quite as satisfying as I had hoped, I was wise to continue giving her a try. Fortunately, the ending more than made up for all my frustration throughout much of this story. Her strong and willful nature started grating on my nerves, and her unwillingness to communicate or confide her heartbreaking secret to the hero until the last few chapters of the book frustrated me to no end. I started the book very much loving her vivacious, witty, and incorrigible behavior however, by the end of the story my love affair with her had waned. While I adored and fell head-over-heels in love with the hero, Alex, I can't say the same for the heroine, Lily. Unfortunately, this book didn't work for me like I had hoped. I can see why most of my Goodreads friends love and consider her one of their all-time favorite romance novelists. This is my first Lisa Kleypas book and there is not doubt that she is one INCREDIBLE writer.
