![]() The end fell back on more familiar romance territory but it was still well done. Her outrageous confidence and willingness to do anything were very entertaining. ![]() I enjoyed the beginning of the book the most. I enjoyed this one even more than the sequel–even though I can’t keep the titles straight to save my life. Alex has to figure out what he wants and Lily has some secrets from her past that add some excitement to the story, but all ends well. Lily comes to her sister’s rescue and finds herself in constant conflict with Alex. Penelope is in love with someone else but she is too timid and scared to refuse Alex on her own. ![]() ![]() He chooses to marry Penelope, Lily’s younger sister because she is completely different from his fiance. Alex is a powerful lord and still grieving the death of his fiance two years ago. She hunts and gambles (at Derek Craven’s gambling club) with the men and flaunts most of the dictates of polite society. Left her aunt’s fortune, Lily is independent and vivacious. Lily is one of the few women in London who can do whatever she wants. Lily and Alex make some small appearances in Dreaming of You, and I thought it would be fun to read their story. Then Came You (1993) is something of a prequel to Dreaming of You, which I had just finished. ![]() So I decided to read another Lisa Kleypas novel. I’ll probably be inundated in a couple of weeks but for now I’m just waiting. The books I’m waiting for at the library have dried up somewhat. ![]()
