Summary: Only In Your Arms
Review: One of my favorites by Lisa Kleypas. Although I didn't like Max at the beginning, his dark, smoldering character got me at the end. The book is, as usual, full of passionate scenes and emotional twists.I liked Lysette from the beginning, and I found her very endearing and a bit too head-strong at times. Max and Lysette's relationship started as a means to avenge a scandalous past, but it turned into a loving and equal in power at the end. A must read! The back cover reads: "Ravishing and desperate Lysette Kersaint flees and impending marriage to a man she hates to seek sanctuary with a man she fears. For rumors abound throughout New Orleans concerning her handsome, brooding protector, Maximilien Vallerand--whispers of his cruelty, his rages, his dark, mysterious past. Forced by circumstance, Lysette consents to wed the dangerous rake, becoming the unwitting instrument of his sworn vengeance. But the flame-haired beauty's innocent heart will awaken within him a soul of passion and poetry...and spawn a love magnificent, wild, and true." To read about Justin Vellarand, don't miss ONLY WITH YOUR LOVE, which isn't as great as ONLY IN YOUR ARMS, but good, nevertheless. S.

Summary: AMAZING!
Review: This is the third Lisa Kleypas book I have read. I have also read Stranger In My Arms and Because You're Mine and although both of those are excellent books Only In Your Arms is my favorite. I'm not going to go into great detail because I don't want to ruin the story for anyone else so I'll just say that I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone that is a fan of romance novels.

Summary: Steamy Locale.
Review: This novel's location is creative, romantic, and virtually swirling in a mysterious mist. Using great skill, Ms. Kleypas maneuvers her reader into the exotic district of New Orleans in 1805. The writer's uncanny ability toward detail and her grand use of delicate French phrases are stimulating. Maximilien Vallerand married a jezebel. Corrine Vallerand can destroy men. Beautiful beyond words, this woman manipulates the men around her. She grows to hate her popular husband and tentatively sets out to destroy an already tense relationship with his childhood friend. Even from the grave, Corrine continues to strike out, managing to crush the fragile love between Maximilien and his brother. Yet what is so pleasing with this story. The author doesn't lend a heavy hand to Corrine's malice -- the evil remains on the outside fringe. In true Kleypas fashion, the writer has written a romance novel. A solid story, a page turner, unfortunately it is commonplace. Lisa Kleypas has gone on to write some absolutely phenomenal books. This was only satisfactory. Note: I understand Lisa Kleypas rewrote this book and gave it a new title, "When Strangers Marry". I have found a copy of this revised story, and I am anticipating the read -- to compare.

Summary: Hard to put down
Review: This was the second Lisa Kleypas book that I have read and I really enjoyed it. The characters were all interesting as was the story line. I also appreciated that the two admitted their love for each other early in the book, not 3/4 of the way through like so many others. I will keep this book to read again and I will look for more of Ms Kleypas' books.
