Devil in Spring Audiobook Summary

New York Times bestselling author LISA KLEYPAS delivers the unforgettable tale of a strong-willed beauty who encounters her match in one of London’s most notorious–yet irresistible–rakes . . .

An eccentric wallflower . . .

Most debutantes dream of finding a husband. Lady Pandora Ravenel has different plans. The ambitious young beauty would much rather stay at home and plot out her new board game business than take part in the London Season. But one night at a glittering society ball, she’s ensnared in a scandal with a wickedly handsome stranger.

A cynical rake . . .

After years of evading marital traps with ease, Gabriel, Lord St. Vincent, has finally been caught by a rebellious girl who couldn’t be less suitable. In fact, she wants nothing to do with him. But Gabriel finds the high-spirited Pandora irresistible. He’ll do whatever it takes to possess her, even if their marriage of convenience turns out to be the devil’s own bargain.

A perilous plot . . .

After succumbing to Gabriel’s skilled and sensuous persuasion, Pandora agrees to become his bride. But soon she discovers that her entrepreneurial endeavors have accidentally involved her in a dangerous conspiracy–and only her husband can keep her safe. As Gabriel protects her from their unknown adversaries, they realize their devil’s bargain may just turn out to be a match made in heaven . . .

5 stars - Historical RomanceThis was a delightful read, and I especially loooved Gabriel! He was just too yummy, swoonalicious perfect to be true! I really enjoyed all the witty, charming exchanges between him and Pandora. Pandora frustrated me at times with her insistent reluctance, and I felt like it took a bit too long for her to appreciate Gabriel and return his affection. Still, this was a wonderful romance!

I'm being generous with my stars because one of my favorite book-boyfriends in HR, Sebastian Saint Vincent, is the father of our hero, Gabriel Saint Vincent. He's such a DILF!!!So, Gabriel is a rake and as gorgeous as his daddy. He gets caught in a compromising position with our heroine, Pandora. Even though it was completely innocent, she is ruined unless he marries her. He is willing, but she isn't. This perplexes our rake because, hey, who wouldn't want him?? His milkshake brings all the girls to the yard.But, Pandora isn't buying what he is selling.Of course, who could resist the gold Adonis that is this man? (makes sense since his father is a god) She eventually succumbs to his charms and agrees to marry him, even though she doesn't need money, or his title, or his protection... So, I guess she's doing it for the milkshake. Which makes sense. He's thrilled: “Lady Pandora Ravenel . . . I’m going to make you so happy that you won’t even care about losing your money, freedom, and your entire legal existence.” Pandora groaned. This book was soooo amazing up to the point of their marriage. I was smiling like an idiot with a balloon animal throughout the first half of the book. Their first kiss was not only super sweet and romantic, but was humorous since he tells her that she kisses like a pirate and she's not exactly sure if that's a compliment...Aww, that's so nice of you to notice!The problem comes up after they marry. Things go in a strange direction. I get that there needs to be some sort of danger/problem/conflict/whatever, but the one that shows up is just weird. It makes no sense, is resolved too easily, especially since the author decided to "go big or go home" with it, and just... just... sucked. It's basically the equivalent of saying that Barney needs a villain, so they bring in Rambo to kill the president of the United States and then the Scooby Doo gang shows up and immediately foils the whole plot. And, then you are just left shaking your head and saying "why?"It just didn't fit.But, I still loved the book and just ignored the weird part. It was totally worth reading and now I have a father/son thing going on in my book boyfriend corral. I'm not hung up on that whole age-thing when it comes to the imaginary.

When We First Meet Pandora (Our Heroine) In Cold-Hearted RakeYou Can't Help But Fall For Her Quirky, Wild WaysThen The Excerpt Was Released In Marrying Winterborne And I Lost My MindSebastian And Evie's Son As The Hero Be Still My HeartPandora The Heroine Is Me And I Am Pandora Here Are The Facts...................Pandora Is A Klutz - I Am A Klutz“Pandora decided to take another tack. “You do not want to marry me, my lord. I would be the worst wife imaginable. I’m forgetful and stubborn, and I can never sit still for more than five minutes. I’m always doing things I shouldn’t. I eavesdrop on other people, I shout and run in public, and I’m a clumsy dancer. And I’ve lowered my character with a great deal of unwholesome reading material.” Pausing to draw breath, she noticed that Lord St. Vincent didn’t appear properly impressed by her list of faults. “Also, my legs are skinny. Like a stork’s.”Pandora Makes Up Words - I Make Up Words“I’m all tangled up in these dratted—” she hesitated, wondering what to call the elaborate wooden curls and twists carved into the back of the settee. “—swirladingles,” she finished. “Acanthus scrolls,” the man said at the same time. A second passed before he asked blankly, “What did you call them?” “Never mind,” Pandora said with chagrin. “I have a bad habit of making up words, and I’m not supposed to say them in public.” “Why not?” “People might think I’m eccentric.” Pandora Does Not Want To Be Married - Neither Did I Until I Found My Husband“I’ve never wanted to marry,” Pandora continued. “Anyone who knows me will tell you that. When I was little, I never liked the stories about princesses waiting to be rescued. I never wished on falling stars, or pulled the petals off daisies while reciting ‘he loves me, he loves me not.” Pandora Has The Inability To Stay Focused - I Am Easily Distracted“Pandora grinned. “I rarely walk in a straight line,” she confessed. “I’m too distractible to keep to one direction—I keep veering this way and that, to make certain I’m not missing something. So whenever I set out for a new place, I always end up back where I started.” Lord St. Vincent turned to face her fully, the beautiful cool blue of his eyes intent and searching. “Where do you want to go?” The question caused Pandora to blink in surprise. She’d just been making a few silly comments, the kind no one ever paid attention to. “It doesn’t matter,” she said prosaically. “Since I walk in circles, I’ll never reach my destination.” His gaze lingered on her face. “You could make the circles bigger.” The remark was perceptive and playful at the same time, as if he somehow understood how her mind worked.” Pandora Makes List Or Facts As She Calls Them - I Am A Listmaker“Facts and Observations #1 If people think you’re dishonored, it’s no different from actually having been dishonored, except you still don’t know anything. #2 When you’ve been ruined, there are only two options: death or marriage. #3 Since I am gravely healthy, the first option isn’t likely. #4 On the other hand, ritual self-sacrifice in Iceland cannot be ruled out. As If Lisa Kleypas Decided To Write Me My Very Own Historical RomanceGabriel Our Hero Has A Rakish, Silver Tongue That Makes Me Swoon“My sweet, there are altogether too many respectable ladies in the world. The supply has far exceeded the demand. But there’s an appalling shortage of attractive pirates, and you do seem to have a gift for plundering and ravishing. I think we’ve found your true calling.”I Loved The Appearance Of One Of My Favorite Couples“He takes after his father,” Evie said. Looking highly insulted, Sebastian rose to his feet in a graceful motion and pulled her up with him. “His father was never caught.” “Except by me,” Evie said smugly. Sebastian laughed. “True.” “What does in flagrante delicto mean, exactly?” “The literal translation? ‘While the crime is blazing.’” Picking her up easily, he said, “I believe a demonstration is in order.” “But what about the s-scandal? What about Gabriel, and the Ravenel girl, and—” “The rest of the world can wait,” Sebastian said firmly. “I’m going to debauch you for the ten thousandth time, Evie—and for once, I want you to pay attention.” “Yes, sir,” she said demurely, and looped her arms around her husband’s neck, as he carried her to their bedroomEverything About This Book Made Me Want To Read It Again

La reseña completa en el blog!!! http://www.virivillarreal.com/2017/10... «Son criaturas peligrosas las florero... Hay que aproximarse a ellas con la máxima cautela. Se quedan silenciosas en los rincones, pareciendo abandonadas y tristes, cuando en realidad son sirenas que hacen caer a los hombres. Ni siquiera te darás cuenta de en qué momento te arranca el corazón. Y una florero no te lo devuelve nunca.» ¡¡¡Gracias Lisa por volver!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Este es un Lisa Kleypas registrado, con su estilo ligero, sentimental y divertido... de esos como los que ella sabe escribir. Para ser completamente sincera, esperaba este libro con un cúmulo de ansiedad/miedo/expectativas. La mayoría ya sabe que los dos libros anteriores de esta serie en concreto no me gustaron mucho. Es por eso que a pesar de tener muy altas expectativas... (Más bien por el hecho de que el prota era hijo del amor literario de mi vida, oooook, uno de ellos, demándenme... soy polígama literaria) Estaba renuente a leerlo. «—He recibido noticias sobre tu hijo.—¿Cuál de ellos?—Gabriel. Está relacionado con un escándalo.—¿Por qué es tu hijo cuando estás satisfecho con él y el mío cada vez que mete la pata?—Porque soy un padre virtuoso —replicó él—, así que, por lógica, su mal hacer tiene que venir de ti.» Desde los primeros libros, Pandora no terminaba de convencerme. Me parecía una niña muy tontita e inmadura. Pero a pesar de eso, me gustó mucho ver su evolución. Y aunque algunas veces me irritaba demasiado, era una mujer muy centrada en un objetivo. Sincera, atrabancada, un poco salvaje pero con un corazón enorme. «—Probablemente ya lo sabes —dijo sin rodeos—, pero te amo. De hecho, te amo tanto que no me importa tu monótona belleza, tus prejuicios contra ciertos tubérculos o la extraña preocupación que muestras por alimentarme con una cuchara. No pienso obedecerte nunca, pero siempre te amaré.» Gabriel es lo mejor de sus padres, un hombre que cuando habla conquista.😍❤️😻 «Hay algo en ti que llama al diablo que llevo dentro.» Para mí, Gabriel no está a la altura de su padre, pero es que a ese hombre lo tengo casi casi en un altar y es inalcanzable. Aunque si debo decir que es uno de los mejores personajes de Lisa en mucho tiempo. Un demonio con lengua de plata...VALE LA PENA TOTALMENTE, volví a encontrar a la Lisa que me enamoraba. Y aunque algunas veces fue demasiado descriptiva y me aburrí un poquito... Gabriel como que me conquistó 😍❤️😍❤️ le iba a poner 3.5 pero considerando que los anteriores no fueron tan buenos le dejo las 4 estrellas ja El desarrollo en general me pareció un poco confuso. Su "conquista y enamoramiento" se narró en el primer 50% y después de eso me quedé con cara de WTF? Y ahora qué? si ya son todos felices y shalala... No me gustó mucho la trama final que agregó, me pareció un poco forzada y más bien introductoria para el próximo libro, que espero no decaiga y sea para mejor. No es una historia original ni de esas inolvidables es más bien sencilla y sin sobresaltos pero a mí me gustó.La única cosa que no me gustó ni comprendí en su totalidad pues siento que queda la idea volando fueron los "instintos" de Gabriel en la cama... era como PORFAVORRRR que no me salga su onda Sr. GREY que LO tiro por la ventana 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄. Al final ni siquiera se profundiza en el tema pero bueeeee... 🤷🏻‍♀️también pensé que el juego tendría más pero pero vuelvo a decir, bueeee 🤷🏻‍♀️ «—Pandora —dijo con la voz ronca, apretándola contra su acelerado corazón—. Te amo más de lo que puedo soportar. Para mí lo eres todo. La razón por la que gira la tierra y por la que la noche sigue al día. Eres lo que dota de significado a la primavera y la explicación de por qué se han inventado los besos. Eres la única razón de que mi corazón siga latiendo. Dios me perdone, pero no soy lo suficientemente fuerte para sobrevivir sin ti. Te necesito demasiado... Te necesito.» Por cierto, ¿Ese prólogo? es 🤤❤️😍...

4.5/5If you asked me which one book was my most desired book of the year, I would answer, without any hesitations, Devil in Spring. I mean I cried when I heard who the book would be about, so that speaks volumes. Honestly, a book need only have Lisa Kleypas’ name on it for me to want it. But this book, I wanted because I fell in love with Pandora Ravenel in the previous book. And secondly, it features the son of Lisa Kleypas’ most iconic couple, Evie and Sebastian. How could I resist? Yet again, Lisa Kleypas has proven why she is the Queen of historical romance.I have loved most of the author’s heroines. They are always smart, kind and very genuine. But Pandora might quite possibly be my favorite. She was unusual for a heroine of the era, her quirkiness stemming from her ADHD. I was curious to see how Lisa Kleypas would implement this into her story when she announced this a couple of months ago, and I personally thought, she did it smoothly and tactfully. There was just something about Pandora’s desires for more than marriage, her passion for her goals that made her shine. She was very much of a feminist, wanting equality for men and women in every aspect of life, and it made her all the more of a stronger protagonist. Besides her staunch aversion to marriage, Pandora was a funny character too, who constantly had me smiling or giggling at some of her antics. She was a breath of fresh air, and I have no doubts that readers will love her. I was a bit nervous about Gabriel. As much as I adore his reformed rake of a father, Sebastian, I didn’t want him to be an exact copy of his father. Thankfully, he wasn't! Fans of the Wallflower series will find the best of both Evie and Sebastian in Gabriel. He was intelligent, sophisticated, and charming but fret not! He also had his slightly rakish side that came out around Pandora.At first glance, together these two seemed like the most unlikely couple, but as usual Kleypas makes them work brilliantly. It was glorious watching Gabriel fall thoroughly and hopelessly in love with this girl who is nothing like him, but ignites all kinds of desires in him. Watching Pandora slowly fall for him was even better. It was quite entertaining to read as she became bombarded with all these feelings that she never thought she would experience. He accepted her with all her flaws and how could she resist that and his seductive ways? As always, Lisa Kleypas presents readers with some scorching scenes between Gabriel and Pandora, but my favorite have to be the kissing scenes that are infused with so much sensuality, that I felt tingly all over. Not to mention, the witty banter between the couple is just so much fun. I just don’t know how this woman continues to write such engaging romances.Besides the incredible romance, I was also very happy at the secondary cast, especially Evie and Sebastian’s big family. We get to see the strong bonds that exist between not only Evie and Sebastian, but also all the siblings and grandchildren. It was just heartwarming to see life after the HEA for Evie and Sebastian. All that being said, I do have a minor complaint when it comes to Devil in Spring and that would be the dangerous conspiracy mentioned in the synopsis. While executed very well, I would have liked for it to have happened a little sooner, and not towards the later end of the book. I was also hoping to see more of Pandora and her board games business ventures in the book. There was lots of descriptions to the game, of course, but I would have liked to see Pandora in action. However, none of those issues took away even a little from my enjoyment of the story.I devoured Devil in Spring in one day, and it was just everything that I wanted and more. I’ve sung Lisa Kleypas’ praises left and right on this blog and on my old blog, so if you still haven’t read a book from her, I’m not sure why you’re wasting your time here when you could be reading a beautiful romance that gives you all the butterflies.-------------------------------------------------**PRE-RELEASE THOUGHTS**Honestly, I was initially excited to read Devil in Spring because EVIE & SEBASTIAN.But after Marrying Winterborne, without any doubt, I want to read this book because of Pandora. She's so fiesty and funny and clever! And if Gabriel is ANYTHING like his father, then I can just imagine the shenanigans that he and Pandora will get into. She will drive him crazy, and he will find himself falling desperately in love with her. She, on the other hand, will want nothing to do with him because of her new venture, which probably means he will chase after her as Sebastian did Evie! I am so so pumped for this and my body is totally ready for all the banter, chasing and swoons. Don't get me wrong, I'm still very very excited to be reunited with Evie and the love of my life, Sebastian, but I have a feeling Pandora and Gabriel will destroy me in a really good way.Why is the release date so far away though? *cries*

I didn't know if I would like Pandora from previous books. She was more of a quirky background character that didn't seem all that compelling. But in this book, Pandora is lovely. She's fresh, fun, independent (mayhap the lady doth protest too much at times, but nevertheless) and Gabriel is abs perfect. Beautiful, mature, responsible, patient, loving, what more can you ask for??The two of them togther is dynamic and wonderful and charming and I loved that the book made me smile almost the whole way through. I also like how Kleypas doesn't try to draw out the "drama of misunderstandings" or the angst of falling in love but not getting together. I like that she writes as much about getting together as about staying together. This book reminded me of one of my favs, Love in the Afternoon, but was unique enough that it wasn't a shadow or a duplicate but a solid stand alone. I'll be rereading this novel in the future and have already ordered the book in the Revenels series. So solid 5 stars, highly recommend!And if that's not enough to convince you - can I just say - Ms. Kleypas writes the BEST scorching love scenes. And I mean LOVE scenes. Not really sex scenes. I LOVE love scenes. Heart is palpitating as I write this!

Ah, I love this book. I love this series! Lisa Kleypas writes the actual most beautiful books in all the land and you can quote me on that.Devil in Spring is a book that could have gone very wrong. The male lead, Gabriel, is the son of Evie Jenner and Sebastian, former Lord St. Vincent and current Duke of Kingston (and the best male lead of all time, not up for discussion). As we saw in the Wallflowers series, Sebastian was the rake of all rakes, and a dispassionate, cold, cruel one at that (except he really wasn't, okay?? maybe just a little. like, the right amount 😏). So, when I read this book for the first time, I was very sure that Lisa Kleypas would make Gabriel a Sebastian 2.0, and that he wouldn't get to be his own person, just a newer version of his father.Boy, was I wrong. My favorite thing about this is that Gabriel is truly his own character and has just enough of Sebastian in him to make you swoon, but not enough that you are reminded that they're related all the time. He's not even a rake, which was arguably Sebastian's biggest trait, if you can call it that.And Pandora. She's so distracted and creative and independent and clumsy (but not annoying clumsy, like someone who rhymes with Ella Schwann). She was so adventurous and driven and wasn't willing to marry Gabriel if that meant she had to compromise her business. I love her so much.We also get to see Sebastian and Evie and the life they built together. Ugh, I can't talk about this, I don't want to sob all over you feed.I described this book the other day as the rosy-est (rosiest?) Kleypas. It's sweet and everyone's nice, and it has all the vibes of this dreamy cover. The coziest reread for me.

He disfrutado con esta novela como con pocas este año. Bueno, para cualquiera que vea mis reseñas no es un misterio que Lisa Kleypas es por lejos mi escritora favorita en romántica y siempre sé que, al menos para mí, es una carta segura.La historia de esta entrega gira en torno a Pandora Ravenel y esto no es menor, ya que si bien tenemos un buen protagonista masculino (hijo de Evie y Sebastian St. Vincent, ni más ni menos), es ella la que se roba la película.Pandora es un personaje que me gustó desde el primer libro de la serie y en esta entrega, simplemente me enamoró. Conocer sus miedos, algunas dificultades físicas que no se habían adelantado en los libros anteriores, los esfuerzos que realiza para ser una dama “normal”, sus ideales tan firmes y tan maduros a pesar de lo joven, alocada e impulsiva que es. Ver cómo crece en lo emocional y en su sensualidad sin perder su esencia e imaginación, hace de esta lectura realmente una delicia. Los momentos con Gabriel realmente son para atesorar y para releer una y otra vez.Obviamente ayuda a valorar más este libro la introducción de varios personajes de la misma serie Ravenel, como de la entrañable serie de Las Floreros: además de Evie y Sebastian, al principio también hay un cameo de lord Westcliff.Ahora, a esperar los siguientes libros muy expectante, porque con este, la Kleypas dejó la vara demasiado alta.

This review was originally posted on Addicted To Romance Summary Lady Pandora Ravenel isn't like all the other debutantes, she isn't preoccupied with looking for a suitable match, or talking non sessically about the weather, she is always looking for new designs for her board games and the best ways to implement them. While doing a favor for a friend, she gets caught in a delicate position and before she knows it she is compromised by none other than Gabriel St. Vincent. Gabriel has spent years making sure he would never be caught in a scandal, and for the first time he is caught but he isn't all that unpleased about it. There is something about Pandora and her resistance to marriage that intrigues him. He knows he will need to convince her that they are well suited, that he would never control or try to change her. But will Pandora discover a life with Gabriel worth the sacrifice, a tender and sweet love she never expect to find... The Hero Gabriel St. Vincent, was raised in a loving home with parents who raised him to be strong and resilient. To be kind and considerate and supportive. Gabriel is careful with the sexual appetites he has and never to be discovered. His father's rakish reputation is placed upon his shoulders. Gabriel is a hero you can swoon over. He is the perfect mix of both Sebastian and Evie (Our couple in Devil in Winter) He is charming, tender, accepting but he is also playful and inherited his father's rakish nature. I loved his character so much, he just makes me smile just thinking about him and his mischievous nature that is sexy as sin. Being imaginative and playful doesn't make you any less of an adult." Gabriel said gently. "It only makes you a more interesting one." The Heroine Pandora Ravenel is not like the rest of her family. She is a hellion, was free at a young age to go wild and free and explore. Her mind thinks in different ways and she can be a bit untamed. She doesn't understand society's restrictions on women and refuses to get married and lose her rights as a person and seeing her dreams go out the window. Pandora was a heroine I honestly wasn't sure how much I would like in this one. But seriously, after the first chapter I knew I would really adore her character and Kleypas has such a talented way of winning you over. Pandora is free thinking, spirited, and not concerned with the Ton. She has a crafty mind, very intelligent but says exactly what is on her mind. Plot and Story Line Now I honestly can't say that this is my all time favorite book that this author has written(Because I just LOVE everything she writes)...but it is the most surprising and crafty romance I have ever read from her. This book surprised me in so many ways, I honestly had high hopes for this book and Lisa Kleypas surpassed all my expectations from this book. And there were so many fun moments, a feisty and clever dialogue that will keep you thirsty for more. The story starts off with seeing Evie and Sebastian together (yeah loved this part but it sets the stage for the story and we also get some delightful moments of Westcliff) then we see the scandal that happens. Now its all very innocent but doesn't look good in the end. Why would I be amused by the sight of a young woman posing upside down on a piece of furniture?" I'm not posing. My dress is caught in the settee. And I would be much obliged if you would help me out of it!" "The dress of the settee?" the stranger asked, sounding interested "The settee." Now Pandora is all resistant to marrying Gabriel. She doesn't see the need for it. However Gabriel is persistent and convinces her and some of her family to come to an estate for a visit. This is basically where Gabriel and Pandora discover and learn each other and the more time they spend together, the more they fall in love with one another. I loved the built up of their relationship. They have powerful chemistry that is off the charts, (and man can Kleypas write a fantastic kissing scene) and we see the relationship that Gabriel has with his parents and his siblings. Gabriel isn't sure of Pandora at first. She is so different from any other woman he has met, but he is soon captivated by her. His family easily accepts her too, in fact they are all quite charmed by her. You dazzle me, Pandora. Every beautiful, fascinating kinetic molecule of you. The night we met, I felt you like an electric shock. Something about you calls to the devil in me. I want to take you to bed for days at a time. I want to worship every inch of you while minutes smolder like moths that dance to the flame. As Pandora is of them, she rarely gets such quick acceptance from people. And seriously Gabriel and Pandora when they get together it is simply swoon worthy, I love the way they build love and trust with each other. They share passion that is sizzling, but they also have a strong emotional bond that shines through the pages. And we get a bit of a teaser toward the end that leaves you curious to see how Kleypas is going to handle that angle. This romance leaves you with a giddy and floating in the air happy feel and wrote this book in such a delicate way and just proves how truly talented she is at writing romances that leaves you breathless and eager for more. The Cover How can you NOT love this cover...its simply breathtaking!!! I love the colors here, the blues are so very pretty and love the floral background. And the stepback pose is so very romantic. Overall View Devil In Spring is a sensual filled romance that has a clever dialogue, characters to melt your heart and an engaging plot that delights and shocks you from time to time. Get read for a tale of a lifetime. A LUSCIOUS AND DEEPLY RIVETING TALE Dangerous creatures, wallflowers. Approach them with the utmost caution. They sit quietly in corners, appearing abandoned and forlorn, when in truth they're sirens who lure men to their downfall. You won't even notice the moment she steals the heart right out of your body--and then it's hers for good. A wallflower never gives your heart back.

the setup…Lady Pandora is the quirky and spirited one of the Ravenel twins. Unlike most women her age, she has no desire to find a husband, preferring to devote her energies towards the creation of her new board game. Her plans are to sell it in Winterborne’s Department Store, which is owned by her brother-in-law Rhys. But, life deals her a different hand to play when she attempts to help out a wayward friend and gets caught up in a scandal at a ball with none other than the most eligible bachelor of the season, Gabriel St. Vincent, the eldest son of the formerly notorious Sebastian St. Vincent, Lord Kingston. the heart of the story…Oh, the irony that this generation wallflower would find herself connected with the son of Sebastian St. Vincent who himself ended up marrying and being tamed by a woman of the same ilk. If you’ve read the author’s Wallflower series, Sebastian needs no introduction. If you haven’t, you’ve missed out on something remarkable. Pandora, however, is more self possessed, irreverent and like a breath of fresh air, which, thankfully, Gabriel quickly recognizes. I liked how the tables were turned and he found himself in reversal from first wanting to avoid marriage himself to plotting ways to convince Pandora to marry him. They are fairly opposite in nature but well suited because of that. Theirs is an adventuresome and highly sensuous match, too. the narration…I love the narrator selected for this series who continues to provide each of the characters a distinctive voice that seems to suit their personalities. She fit Pandora nicely and I loved her interpretation of Gabriel (and Sebastian!).the bottom line…I enjoyed this story, quite a bit, especially because of Gabriel having a strong appreciation for Pandora’s desire for independence and his working hard to honor that, even after they marry. However, I wasn’t thrilled with how her character seemed to inexplicably change in the second half with the introduction of a curious storyline that felt off. And, the confrontation with a woman from Gabriel’s past wasn’t tied off well. But, the strength of what preceded these two situations more than compensated. It was truly a gift to see Sebastian and Evangeline (Evie) appear in this story, a reunion I didn’t see coming but put me in a happy place. Despite my issues, I had a good time with Pandora and Gabriel. And, we got an answer for Pandora’s curious problems with her balance. You’ll have to discover that for yourself.Posted on Blue Mood Café
