Historical Romance Review: Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas

Posted on December 16, 2021November 11, 2022 by jdiazsweetsavageflame

Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas features one of her most beloved characters, Derek Craven. Derek was previously seen in Then Came You, whose reserved hero, Alex Raiford, was more to my liking. This is a wonderful romance by the talented Kleypas where two people from contrasting social classes come together in love. 4 stars

Historical Romance Review: Then Came You by Lisa Kleypas

Posted on July 11, 2021November 10, 2022 by IntrovertReader

The heroine of Lisa Kleypas’ Then Came You was, at the time of the book’s initial release, a unique female protagonist. Today, Romancelandia is replete with hoydenish, unmarried non-virgins who thumb their nose at society’s rules. Back in 1993, the wild Lily Lawson was, for the most part, unusual for a historical romance heroine. 5 stars
