![]() ![]() I have expectations a mile high when it comes to Lisa Kleypas’s historicals and I can be a bit more critical because I’ve fallen in love with a lot of her books. While the first 60% of the story was a solid 5 stars read, I had minor disappointments with the last 40%.įor example, I wasn’t thrilled with Gabriel telling Pandora about his former lover, a married woman able to satisfy his “dark desire” that turns out to be some very light bondage. Pandora’s board game invention and business plan is based on a real historical figure, a woman that invented the precursor to Monoply in 1903. I love her humorous writing and the way she adds important historical events and discoveries woven into her stories. So yes…in my opinion this is not the best novel she has written so far but I enjoyed it all the same. In historical novels I enjoy things I often hate in other genres and Lisa Kleypas is one of the very VERY few authors capable of that “magic”.Įven the sudden conspiracy at ~80% into the book didn’t steer me far from giving this book a high rating. ![]() Thus begins their journey packed with witty dialogues, memorable characters and a dangerous conspiracy that will keep you entertained all the way through! Vincent, knows how to avoid marital traps but… what is a gentleman supposed to do when he finds a Lady trapped upside-down on a piece of furniture? Lady Pandora Ravenel has an ambitious business plan and no interest in marriage whatsoever until a settee “accident” leads a certain Lord on her path. ![]()
