Book Review: Devil's Daughter by Lisa Kleypas

Devil's Daughter by Lisa Kleypas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh lord, this book...this book make me have so many feels...I even cried at the end, that's how good it was. BUT once again, my husband and loml Sebastian was in it and thus, my feels were all over the place. But once again, before I go on about the love of my life and favorite heroes of all time, let's get through the book review first...

So Phoebe is the single mother of two boys after her husband died, and was promised marriage to a loser (to me he is) named Edward Larson, who's her late husband's cousin. But during Gabriel's and Phoebe's wedding, she runs into no other than West Ravenel, a man that has teased her husband when they were in boarding school. At first, she hated him because of what he did to Henry, but then she forgave him, and was actually shocked that her children liked being around him.

But that dinner scene between them was so cute and I loved it so much (including the recipe at the end of the book). Also, there was a scene where West saved Justin from the bull that nearly hurt him. I honestly gasped when it happened, because I started to worry about him, but was glad that he got better. Then came him coming to the house to help her and hot damn, that's when they're romance blossomed (actually, it blossomed when they kissed).

When West came to the house to help her with the ledgers, that's when it got really romantic. West was staying at the small cottage back in the house I believe, and holy moly the secret meetings at night (and they were passionate good lord) but my favorite scene was when she shaved his beard, thus giving me a kink I didn't even know I liked-I like it when men get shaved. I don't know why, but it was sexy as hell...

ANYWHOO...

West then had to leave for the both of them because of stupid ol' Edward coming back and also because he had a mistress behind Phoebe's back, and also he was taking money from Justin's inheritance to buy a house and all the luxurious things he needed for his mistress and his son. He even had the gall to ask Phoebe to marry him when she didn't feel not one damned thing for him anymore, and she said that she was going to remove him as trustee and put her father as the main trustee now.

Then West went back to drinking for a couple of days because he couldn't get Phoebe out of his head, and his friend Tom Severin took him to Jenner's, where he was nearly killed by Edward because he thought he could just try and convince my husband that he was the right one for Phoebe, and also because he thought he filled her mind with so many things about him, but Sebastian stopped him. Then the ending when Phoebe asks him to marry him and he said yes was just perfect.

BUT HOLD ON, WAIT A MINUTE, LET'S TALK ABOUT MY HUSBAND IN A COUPLE CHAPTERS, SHALL WE?

That one chapter with him in the tub when Evie went to go find him to talk to him was soo good. Even when he was counting down for her to take off her dress, only for her to be like, "go ahead"...and then the conversation they had afterward I CAN'T...I just CAN'T....and the train scene OMGGG was so cute...even when Evie played Patti-Cake with Stephen....

I loved this book so much and now I want to read more of her books.

Book Review:Devil in Spring by Lisa Kleypas

Devil in Spring by Lisa Kleypas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Devil in Spring...holy crap this book though...I had feels throughout this whole entire book and I loved every single minute of it. I loved how Pandora and Gabriel fell in love, and how Gabriel was very protective over Pandora because she was sheltered all her life, and also she's deaf in one ear. She wants to become a businesswoman and make her own games, and doesn't even want to marry.

BUT.

CAN. WE. TALK. ABOUT. THE. PROLOGUE. Y'ALL.

*pulls out a list of one thousand six hundred things I love about my husband Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent*

My favorite hero and loml (right next to Dante, of course) Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent and Evie appears in it and I CAN'T with it. I just can't with it. It was so cute and adorable and it makes me want to read the book over again because it was SO GOOD.

I'm going to debauch you for the ten thousandth time, Evie-and for once, I want you to pay attention."

Me: Hi yes, hello husband how are you OH PLEASE DEBAUCH ME ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT I DON'T CARE I LOVE YOU.

Buttt back to the book review and enough about my love for Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent-who's now a duke, y'all. HE'S A DUKE...

Now his son has the title of St. Vincent and at first, Pandora doesn't want to marry him. But in the week at Heron Point, they fell in love and got married, and it was really cute how when they went on their honeymoon and since she never went to a hotel she wanted to take a tour, but when Gabriel ended it and took her to their suite, they made love for the first time, and afterward Pandora told him that "Your lovemaking is a gift."

BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS JEALOUS MISTRESS THOUGH? Like she wanted to make Pandora cry at the show, but Pandora stood her ground..before she got stabbed by the warehouse owner I believe and had to be taken to a hospital, where she was taken care of by Dr. Griffth. Gabriel didn't want her to operate on her, but then relented and let her do it.

Close to the ending of the book made me cry because I got worried for Pandora for a moment, then I learned (before Pandora got hurt) that terr ah GABRIEL'S A FREAK IN THE BED. Like he tied her up and they made love and my mouth dropped and I couldn't even.

Then the doctor's note for the both of them was funny and it made me laugh, and the threat that Pandora would got up and down the stairs and sing a children's song if he didn't make love to her. And the bombs that was planted in the hall when the Prince of Wales came through...that part made me cry the most, but I'm glad that they survived, and also the ending, when she came into Winterborne's and saw that her game was sold out. And the kiss at the end OMG I couldn't.

I would give this book ten out of ten stars if I could because it was SO GOOD.

Book Review: Someone to Watch Over Me by Lisa Kleypas

Someone to Watch Over Me by Lisa Kleypas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I haven't read a romance novel in a long time, and I wanted something different to read while I'm reading the other books I'm currently reading at the moment, and Someone to Watch Over Me came at the right time and I loved every single moment of it. I honestly cheered for Grant and Vivien/Victoria, because he stupidly thought she was Vivien the courtesan, which turned out to be her twin sister-trust me, I was shocked myself when I read that part-and then reading how they slowly but surely fall in love...

But the mystery behind Vivien/Victoria was...well, how can I put it....the mystery behind who wanted Vivien dead was a really stupid one. I mean, to hire a Bow Street Runner to do it? Really? Like...I thought the Lord Lane would hire someone from the street to do it...but to actually get a Bow Street Runner to do it? I was actually appalled by it, because it seemed to me that he didn't want to kill Vivien himself after what she did to his son and grandson, so he hired someone else to do it-and it was someone Grant knew....

At the end I loved the book and would really recommend it to anyone.

Book Review: Scandal in Spring (Wallflowers, #4) by Lisa Kleypas

Scandal in Spring by Lisa Kleypas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So this is the fourth book of the Wallflowers and OMG I'm in love with this. And it turns out....me and Daisy have a lot in common like....she loves to read, I love to read. I make wishes sometimes, she makes wishes sometimes....she dreams of the perfect man (and she got it), I'm....single but I'll be okay-I know someone's out there waiting on me.

And who is the man of Daisy's dreams?

Mr. Matthew Swift, the man Daisy and Lillian hates more than ever. He's the total opposite of what Daisy wants-but he'd been in love with her ever since he'd met her-and I was shocked. He even kept a button and a lock of Daisy's hair, which was weird, but honestly? I found it cute.

Also, on the Lillian and Marcus front, they had a baby-little Merritt-and she's so cute!!!

BUT back on Daisy and Matthew...

In one part of the book, Daisy was trying to make Matthew jealous (and honestly...it worked) because in that one week...he wanted to actually kill someone. Even though during the process Lord Llandrion fell for Daisy and kissed her, she didn't feel a thing.

And then that night Matthew and Daisy kissed...and did it (though they talked through it).

The most shocking thing in the book was when this man from Boston came and exposed Matthew from what he truly was-the son of a Irish Drunk who was hired to be his son's friend or something like that. Whatever bad thing the son did, Matthew was blamed for it. Homie even went to college and passed and the son didn't. Matthew even told the truth about his feelings for Daisy, even when she was trying to unlock his handcuffs. And as soon Matthew and Mr. Whatchimacallit was gone out the door with the po po in tow, Marcus and Thomas Bowman went behind them.

Then Matthew got into a accident and Daisy got worried about him to the point that she was in the Marsden room, seperating books before she started thinking about what'll happen if she didn't see him again, all the what ifs dancing in her mind until he came back, and she asked if he was a ghost. He said no, and they did it in the Marden room before he took her to their room.

And while the trial was going on, Daisy went to find a big home in Bristol where all her friends can visit, and she had a book for every room as well. And then finally, they got married, which signaled the end of this book and this series (to me, anyway).

Book Review: Devil in Winter (Wallflowers, #3) by Lisa Kleypas

Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

HOLY CRAP. THIS BOOK THO. This book....had me crying and gasping till the end. And....I am in love with Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent....DANG NABBIT. I swore it wasn't supposed to happen, but as the book progressed and that he started to change...I fell for him. Badly. Dang it.

BUT before we can get into many reasons why I like Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent, let's get into the book review.

The book began with Evie coming to him with a proposition: marry her. Sebastian looked at her like she was crazy at first, but then he decided to do it. But there is a second proposition: they can't make love after the wedding night. At first, he didn't like the idea, but the more he hung around her, even when he took over her father's club, he slowly but surely fell in love with her. After the (tiring) wedding they had at Gretna Green and they made love the day after, they went back to England, Evie wanted to go see her father, who was on his deathbed, at a club named Jenners. Sebastian agreed, and while Evie took care of her father till he passed, she did see her family members again-well, her uncle Peregrine, who pretended to be her friend Annabelle Hunt, thanks to the stupid Joss Bullard, and Sebastian saved her.

The one scene that had me crying all night was when Sebastian was telling Evie about her father's condition, and she didn't believe him one bit, and he yelled at her while moving his hands. Evie thought he was gonna hit her and he noticed....and he swore to her, ya'll-swore to her that he'll never lay a hand on her. Then he asked about who hit her in the past. Evie told him that it was her family that used to hit her, and automatically he said he'll tear him from limb from limb. I have never cried that night when I read that part-and the kiss after it tho....

Then my darling St. Vincent got shot (got dammit) and he was in bed, close to dying, but Marcus (yay!) and Cam Rohan saved him by using four o'clock plant and other things they used I can't remember, and his fever broke. And after that, he became a horrible little patient who rang that little sliver bell for everything (I would've broken it), but it did make Evie break their little bet-for three months he couldn't make love to her, but he can kiss her whenever and where ever he wanted.

At the end, Joss Bullard came back and tried to kill Evie, but Cam shot him dead when he was SUPPOSED to be dead, but in the end, Sebastian and Evie got together, and he became my bae....but now in a good way.

Book Review: It Happened One Autumn (Wallflowers, #2) by Lisa Kleypas

It Happened One Autumn by Lisa Kleypas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book didn't take me long-it was a quick read for me (which is oddly weird) but I digress, let's get one to the review....

Like the first novel, I didn't ship Lillian and Marcus, Lord Westcliff. I really didn't-Lillian's american, stubborn, and fiery-won't let a man control her one bit. And Marcus is a calm gentleman who's the same a little bit-stubborn, full of pride, and don't smile at all because of his father making sure he didn't smile or care for anyone...until he met Lillian.

At first, Lillian didn't like him one bit (if you read the first book, you know why) but then as they got closer (and the aphrodisiac she got from the aproctoary...which I believe it's perfume...or the Regency Era's version of Chanel No. 5), even though she didn't listen to him when she took that one jump on the Jumping course that could've broken her neck, and he forbade her to ride any horses while she was there at his home, then the little lessons by Marcus's mother, the Countess of Westcliff, whom I was reminded of by a certain Dowager Countess of a certain show called Downton Abbey...

But after Lillian got drunk in Marcus's library, they made love and Marcus asked her to marry her. She refused at first, but then as she thought about it...she loved him more than ever, and even though Lord St. Vincent was a good friend to her, she wanted to marry him first, just to make Marcus jealous, but then she didn't want to marry Lord St. Vincent at all.

When Marcus told his mother that he was going to marry Lillian, all hell broke loose. The Countess devised a little plan that made Lillian get kidnapped-by Lord St. Vincent, then lie that Lillian told her that she and St. Vincent were eloping. Marcus didn't believe her one damned bit once he got the truth out of her, and raced to the Inn where Lord St. Vincent had her, and beat his sorry ass all over the tavern (after Simon Hunt let him do it before he was killed.)

But in the end, Marcus and Lillian got married at Gertna Green, and Lillian was now the Countess of Westcliff....and then Evie visited the Lord St. Vincent just to see him....to make a deal?!

Say wha??

But that will come in another book review another time....

Book Review: Secrets of a Summer Night (Wallflowers, #1) by Lisa Kleypas

Secrets of a Summer Night by Lisa Kleypas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

So...this book made me have feels. Feels I didn't expect while reading this book.

To start off this review, I honestly didn't ship Annabelle and Simon. The way she kept rejecting him from his offers of dancing, to trying to get Lord Kendall, and how the sass was very real every time they're together, I kept saying up and down, "I do not ship, I do not ship, I do not ship....." But then as I read on....I WENT DOWN WITH THIS SHIP.

I went down with this ship the moment Annabelle felt sick and Simon told her (after a round of Rounders-in-Knickers with the other Wallflowers) that she had an Adders bite from a snake (well, he told her once he took off her shoes and her stockings from the hem of her dress and she wanted to kill him, but she was too weak to do it) from her walk with Lord Kendall and the others (Simon was there too...darn it). She was out of action for a while, in which Simon kept her company by teaching her how to play chess (no wonder why Ciel Phantomhive likes that game), and talked about trains with her-which was really, really cute! Then Lord Hodgeham came up to bother Annabelle, saying that he wanted her (in a really, DISGUSTING way, mind you) and almost had her...but Simon saved the day (awe!)

But as the book went on, I was happy when they finally got married (yay!) and then it went downwards because of the way people was talking about them-like "oh, they only got an invite to this party because of Lord Westcliff" and "I can't believe she married down." I went 'Bruh, really?' but then again, this was back in the day, not in this time period because if I was Annabelle, I would've gone Nene Leakes on them, but in all honesty I would've ignored them completely (in which she did).

This book had me going through so many feels from one scene to the next, and I cannot wait to read this book.
