Devil’s Daughter audiobook

Full Review Feb 23 2019: 5 BILLION TRILLION STARS ADFSLKDHFSJNDFSDKF I. CANT. DEAL. UGH IT WILL TAKE ME LIKE A MONTH TO RECOVER FROM HOW AMAZING THIS WAS I SWEAR HOOOLLYYY MOTHER OF OAIWHEKFJSDF SHIT JUST FINISHED. DID Y'ALL HEAR I JUST FINISHED AND IT. WAS. EVERYTHING. UGHGod this book was so fucking good. I started at 11 pm and literally stayed up till 4 and devoured it in one sitting lmao. MAY I JUST SAY I have been waiting for this book for a freaking year and it. DELIVERED.aright aright aright, so where do I even begin...Let's start with the plot, shall we? So, Pheobe, daughter of our most beloved, Sebastian St. Vincent, is a beautiful young widow with two children who meets West Ravenel at the wedding of her brother and his cousin. From the beginning, they both had a stark and obvious attraction literally the moment they lay eyes on one another. Unfortunately for both of them, Pheobe has her bad opinion of him set in stone, due to unfortunate events that happened in their youth. However, as they are both mature adults and their families about to be united, they get over it quite fast. Also, they're frequently thrown into situations where they're forced to converse. I absolutely love love loved their chemistry! Their conversations were stimulating and witty and I did not get bored once. Not even once. Sometimes you'll see authors drag out convos between their mc's and they just feel artificial and boring. Pheobe is definitely a unique heroine, but not eccentric or out of her time or ethereal like some of Kleypas's other heroines in this series. She is honestly the most relatable in the most human way. She loves her sons and is so so kind, and smart and funny! I love that she doesn't hold on to past grudges and slowly lets herself fall in love with West. I love that she let herself get over her grief first and handle this next romance so maturely. But what I loved most were her interactions with her family. Not just her sons, who were FUCKING ADORABLE, but her PARENTS. UGhHHOK QUICK DIGRESSION. CAN I JUST SAY. SEBASTIAN NOW THE SILVER FOX LITERALLY MAKES ME FAINT AND SQUIRM LET ME FUCKING TELL YOU THAT ONE SCENE HAD METHE MANS. HAS. STILL. GOT. IT. Ok back to my reviewIt was very refreshing to see the family's involvement. I feel like something a lot of historical authors lack is the role of family, which was HUGE back then. I mean, marriage was a unity between two families, especially within the aristocracy, so not only was it historically accurate but also such a treat! Now to West. Ugh. FUCKING WEST THAT MANNNNNevery time he opened his fucking mouth or made an appearance I was likeLiterally, one of the most likable heroes Kleypas or anyone has ever made, I swear lmao. So Sebastian St. Vincent (who i will always consider literally the greatest romance hero of all time), is a reformed bad boy, but is still a BAD boy ya know what I mean, he will never ever truly be reformed. He a sly silver fox yummy yum slurp drool im wet. ok sry going back to west. WEST is different because he has let go of that part of his past. He doesn't want to be that person anymore, while Sebastian always embraced that side of him. Honestly I appreciate and love both of their personalities.West was completely reformed and a hard worker, and most importantly, craved a relationship. When he met Phoebe I was rooting so so hard for him because he was clearly just awed and struck by her beauty and personality. It was literally love at first sight for him and it was so sweet how he and her got along. Literally, his personality was EVERYTHING.Justin and Stephen, Phoebe's children played a huge part in this story. I honestly rarely read about widows with children, but this was something that made Phoebe's character so unique. Her children were a part of her, and so so cute. They won me over, and the way West would interact with themOne of my favorite scenes was Phoebe's realization of how much she wanted West in her life after they were all together like a family and she narratesOh yes . . . I want this man.SO DAMN SWEET.AND OF COURSE DID U THINK I WOULD SKIP IT??? NAAHHH BIH IM STILLA HOTHAT'S RIGHT IM TALKIN ABOUT THEM SEXY TIMMEESSS!!! The SMUT was literally FIREEE. I loved how their sexual tension was building up and it didn't combust until closer to the end. It made it so much better and so much more real, honestly. West IS LITERALLYY SO FUCKING SEXY OH MY GOOOODDDNEESSSS every damn time i was likeAs much as I would like to say more, I don't want to spoil anything else but suffice to say THIS BOOK IS AMAZING AND I WILL PROBABLY RE READ IT TOMORROW LMAOTHE ONLY COMPLAINT I HAVE ABOUT THIS BOOK IS THAT IT ENDED WITHOUT AN EPILOGUE WHICH I NEEDED SO DAMN BAD!!!! ALSO I WANT A TEASER ABOUT SEVERIN AND CASSANDRAAAA I NEED TO READ THEIR BOOK SO BAD. I'm so intrigued now after knowing more about Severin's character, like bro what made you like this? Why are you so cynical and mechanical? How will your woman make you change? I MUST KNOWWW ALDSKHFJKSDFBrava Ms. Kleypas, Brava.Feb 19 2019:EDIT HOLY SHIT OMFG AAAAAHHHH I CANT BELIEVE THIS BOOK IS FINALLY HERE AND IM LITERALLY NOT HOME FOR ANOTHER FEW DAYS FUCK.

KLEYPAS JUST DID AN INTERVIEW HEREIt's with the same excerpt that was on the back of Hello Stranger but STILL SHE'S CONTEMPLATING DOING A WALLFLOWERS NEXT GEN SOMEONE PINCH ME I SWEAR FUCCCCC Oh My God. THIS WAIT WILL LITERALLY KILL ME. LISA KLEYPAS TAKE MY MONEY I NEED THIS NOVEL SO BAD. Does anyone have HR recommendations as good as hers? I have read hundreds of historicals, good and bad, and her books are at the top. Why must waiting be so hard???!!

Reading Lisa Kleypas makes me question whether I should be writing books at all. She is a MASTER, her stories always give me that lovely pang in my chest and the sense of being lost in another world. My plan had been to wait and save this book for when I needed something great to read. Alas, I lasted one week. :-\ That's okay, I'll re-read it. :-)

If you asked me about my favorite Historical Romance author I wouldn't be able to pick one. There are too many who write exceptional stories. But there is one who will always be in the top three: Lisa Kleypas. I've read almost all of her HR books and there wasn't a single one I didn't love. But we all have this one hero, written by one of our favorite authors that stands out and will always occupy a special place in our hearts. In my case that is Sebastian St. Vincent from Devil in Winter. That is not to say, however, that there isn't room for another one because, let me tell you, Weston Ravenel settled in right next to Sebastian. ALL THE SWOONS!Phoebe is a spirited young woman who married her childhood sweetheart Henry, who was ailing from a disease that would eventually take him away from her. At her brother Gabriel's wedding she meets the man who bullied Henry in boarding school. Having to make nice with somebody who was so horrible as a youth goes against the grain but when she comes face to face with West he's not at all what she expected. This man was the storm and the shelter, pulling her into a deep, encompassing darkness where there was too much to feel—hot soft firm sweet hungry rough silken tugging—She strained helplessly in his arms, although she didn’t know whether she was trying to escape or press closer. Like her mother Evie, Phoebe has the heart of lioness - brave, fierce and tender for the ones she loves, a steely will but also a tiny bit of her mother's shyness. Admittedly I found her to be a little judgmental in the beginning but truth be told, I'd probably react the same way if I were confronted with someone who hurt a loved one so deeply over a long period of time. I also felt that Phoebe was more of a mother, a best friend to Henry than a wife, she was stronger in every way, so her sense of protection and justified indignation were strong. One of my favorite scenes was when Phoebe forgave her husband's tormentor.Soon West takes up residence in her mind and heart, his unearthly good looks and boyish charm don't leave her unaffected. By the end of the book I had nothing but love and admiration for Phoebe left. How surprising life was. Once she would never have considered this man for herself. And now it would be impossible to consider anyone else. Weston Ravenel was a scoundrel until he realized what he was doing to himself. He sobered up and took over the management of his brother's estate. Meeting Phoebe makes something click inside him and he falls hopelessly in love. Hopeless because he's too tainted to ever consider marriage to this beautiful, vibrant and good young woman. He had so much of Sebastian in that regard. He, too, felt that he never deserved Evie but he was way too much of a selfish rogue to not take her anyway. “I don’t deserve her,” he mumbled, without intending to. “Of course you don’t. Neither do I deserve my wife. It’s an unfair fact of life that the worst men end up with the best women.” Weston...what a dreamboat. He was such a hardworking, smart man - audacious, approachable, humorous, disarmingly charming, swoonworthy and utterly endearing. I laughed so much about his sense of humor, the way he treated Phoebe's children like little people with their own personalities. I adored him. And when it got too dark in his mind I hurt for him - it was the reason he didn't allow himself to be happy He kissed like a man who had lived too fast, learned too late, and had finally found the thing he wanted. Now for one of the best part - we get soooo much of Sebastian and I loved every single word coming out of his mouth. He has become such a wise, sweet man yet he still has this roguish, witty charm that hasn't lost anything of his self confidence. The years have been good to him and Evie and they are still as in love as they were back then - a certain bathroom scene made sure that I wouldn't forget what a sensual creature he's always been. I wouldn't mind to read how they fared after Devil in Winter. “From time to time, I may adjust a situation to achieve a desired outcome for the benefit of my children, but that’s not meddling.” “What do you call it, then?” “Parenting,” he said smugly, and kissed her before she could reply. Lisa Kleypas has this incredible talent to make a scene appear right before your eyes while you read about it, she writes in vivid pictures. She also has a knack for timing, the humor in her writing is on point and don't get me started on her beautiful writing style. Ms. Kleypas can write a thousand historical romance books and I'll read them all. Devil's Daughter was everything I hoped for  - unforgettable, romantic, dreamy, uproarious laughter invoking and heartwarming. The cherry on top would have been an epilogue but I have a feeling we'll see more Phoebe and West in future books. And that I was able to catch up with Sebastian and Evie? Priceless. And maybe, just maybe, Lisa Kleypas really is my favorite HR author.

Oh my god. Guess what?!

The hero in this book, West, is the guy that everyone has loved throughout this series. He's a reformed rake, the best HR character type, and always funny. The best part? Who his heroine is, because she is the daughter of another reformed rake that we ALL fell in love with in the Wallflowers series, Sebastian. And, that means we get glimpses of him too. Here's a description of him from his book (way back when): Sebastian's reputation is so dangerous that thirty seconds alone with him will ruin any maiden's good name. Plus, the side benefit of my old book boyfriend showing up in this series is that he is now older, so I don't have to be a cougar anymore. I mean, I'm alright with that, but for a change of pace, I can have a book boyfriend my own age. Variety is the spice of life.See? He gets it. Not my particular spice, but you never know. I'm not shutting any doors. Never say never, right?Okay, so you want to know about this particular book and this particular guy instead of me rhapsodizing the beauty and wonders of Sebastian St. Vincent and our forbidden fictional love affair I suppose. Fine.West is a reformed rake who we met in the first book of this series. He has been the best character in the books, which have gotten progressively better. The first book in this series was given only a 1-starred rating from me because I hated the female so much. She gave new dimension to the word "bitch" and I never believed the romance. Luckily, she is barely present in this one.West meets Phoebe, a widow with two sons, and their attraction is immediate. But he has the whole "I'm not good enough for her" thing going on, so angst ensues.My angst-solution. Well... minus the crying.... Jilly doesn't cry.I loved both Phoebe and West, but her little boys were absolutely adorable. West's interactions with them hit me right in the ovaries. I think that if men realized how attracted we are to them when they are good to children, they would all be signing up to be teachers and daycare workers. It's like our Kryptonite.Ovary explosion in 3...2...1...If there were any negatives about the book, one would be that he carried on with the I'm-not-good-enough-for-her thing a little too long. Also, and this is weird, but there were too many sex scenes. If I get bored and am skimming the sexy times, there is too much. Never underestimate my short attention span along with desensitization. Other than that, this was fun, funny, and romantic. “That was an accident,” Mr. Ravenel said over her head, breathing hard. “Yes,” Phoebe said dazedly, “I understand.” “The book was falling . . . I was reaching for it, and . . . your lips were in the way.”

FINALLY.The year long wait was so worth it!West Ravenel is the best kind of book boyfriend there is. A Reformed Rake. Not as awesome as Lord St.Vincent, (who is though??) but definitely deserves a spot among the likes of Leo Hathaway. Infact, in many instances, this hotheaded Ravenel reminded me of Leo and Kev alternatively. Witty, wicked and sarcastic with a pinch of self deprecating humor, West was undeniably the best part of the Ravenel series. Phoebe, Lady Clare, was not at all who I pictured as Sebastian's oldest daughter. And Evie's red hair was wasted on this tamed chick. She was wonderful with her kids though. And those two boys were just so adorable. Especially their interactions with West made my day. The storyine wasn't anything new, but Lisa Kleypas has a way of spicing things up and offered a whole new level of awesomeness. These two had super hot chemistry which was often disrupted by the memory of Phoebe's sickly late husband (nothing against him, but their love story was so boring!), his pansy cousin's plans for courting Phoebe (another stuck up bore) or West's frequent bouts of conscientious insecurity (which did get tiring after a point). The last 30 percent of the book was a definite let down with seemingly rushed coupling and closure. And there was no epilogue!!!! (That was cruel, Mrs.Kleypas. We certainly deserved to see some hearty moments from this adorable couple's everyday life. Maybe with Galoshes and her kitties or another kid on board. West as an anxious father, waiting on his wife in labour would have been a delightful ending.)P.S. Even as gramps, Sebastian is so fricking hot. Age has done nothing to lessen his devilish charm. HE'S STILL GOT IT, Y'ALL.Watching his parenting skills gave me hot flashes. Matchmaking papa, ftw.P.P.S. The cameo of the Wallflowers' reunion along with their families was an unexpected treat.

Another great read from Lisa kleypas! I loved both West and phoebe and in early books both characters interested me. The writing was flawless as usual,but this was not a typical kleypas love story. Their Was some great intimate moments,but no passionate heat scorching, fan yourself moments that I've come to expect from this writer. I have read just about everything that Lisa kleypas has written and this series has been one of my very favorites. I will say that this a great historical romance and I did enjoy reading this book,I just wished their has been more passion and sensuality like the other books in this series. Until next time luvs💋💖

Gracias al Reto Rita 5.0 encontré la oportunidad de releer este libro, pero ahora traducido al español (¡por fin!) y, de lejos, lo disfruté muchísimo más. Esta pareja es simple y sencillamente adorable. Subí mi valoración de 3 a 4 estrellas.***********Reseña 1a lectura:Me gustó, aunque creo que leerlo en inglés no me permitió disfrutar la historia con fluidez y de seguro afectó mi experiencia lectora. También influye en mi valoración las expectativas de leer el libro de la serie con West Ravenel como protagonista; estuvo bien, pero no se acerca ni de lejos al personaje que deslumbró como secundario en los cuatro libros anteriores. Aquí me pareció un personaje demasiado atormentado por su pasado, pero, con ese conflicto interno como gatillador del argumento, el libro fluye bien.Adoré las escenas en que West interactuaba con los hijos de Phoebe y, por supuesto, fue un acierto incluir a varios personajes (y su descendencia) de la serie Wallflowers, a la que le tengo demasiado cariño. Pero fue un absoluto desacierto ese final tan precipitado y sin epílogo. Me siento casi obligada a preparar el puré de verduras de primavera para darle un verdadero cierre al libro.De todas maneras, si alguna editorial por fin decide publicar el libro traducido al español, de seguro lo releeré.

Actualización: después de haberlo leído... SIN SPOILERS.1. NO ES ENEMIES TO LOVERS CÓMO PENSABA.2. NO se parecen a Leo y Francesca.3. ME DECEPCIONÓ UN POCO pero sale mucho mi amor Sebastián así que obviamente no puedo ponerle menos de 4.4. Phoebe me gustó mucho, en cierto momento llegó a ser la perseguidora en lugar de la perseguida y fue un buen cambio. No era la viuda mártir del tipo NO VOLVERÉ A AMAR PORQUE YA CONOCÍ EL AMOR. Y shalala. Me gustó mucho.5. Sebastian y Evie son lo mejor de lo mejor. Lisa ha logrado conservar su esencia con El Paso del tiempo de una manera soberbia. Este es el mismo Sebastián de Un diablo en invierno pero con unos añitos más y varios hijos a su cargo jajaja.6. La historia de amor es muy instalove instalust. La supo vender Lisa pero de que esta ahí... lo hace.7: Y llegamos al punto primordial del libro. WEST. WEST, West, West. 😍 admito que me gusta más en los otros libros. Esperaba mucho más de él y es por eso que estoy un poquito decepcionada. En cierto momento paso de ser el West de los últimos libros y Lisa intentó volverlo más atormentado si cabe y mucho más oscuro. No le salió pero bueeee, igual lo amo porque es West. 🤷🏻‍♀️😍💁🏻‍♀️8. Siento que este no es un libro que se deba leer solo. Porque no hay desarrollo en los personajes. Nosotros sabemos cómo era West por los libros anteriores, pero creo que si alguien lee este libro, terminará sin conocer y comprenderlo. Porque básicamente solo vemos una parte de lo que es, si... Lisa menciona de pasada que era un libertino, borracho y shalala pero no se “ve”. Solo se menciona.9. También hay partes que nos las cuenta sin que el lector las vea o las viva. Y yo soy muy de querer saber todo jajaja.10. Le faltan muchas páginas y un epílogo. El final es como de... ajá, y que más sigue? ...NO HAY FINAL. Me dejó esa sensación de todos los libros de Laura Lee Gurkhe al final. (No se como se escribe su apellido pero el punto es el mismo). ..........Presiento que este libro será una mezcla entre Leo Hathaway con Francesca Bridgerton... si los conocen y leyeron la sinopsis entenderán porque. PD: West... te espero con ansias locas!!!Yo cuando leí el título del libro: Yo cuando leí la sinopsis y vi que era enemies to lovers:Yo cuando me di cuenta de que todavía no sale ni en inglés: Pues así las cosas... 😔

No quería terminar el año sin releerlo en castellano, sin duda, he disfrutado más. mucho más de esa parte irónica de West, matices que pierdo al leerlo en inglés. Dos sentadas me ha durado, Me hubiera gustado menos familia y más pareja, se queda corta en ese sentido y por eso las 4 estrellasKleypas hace protagonistas masculinos adorables, eso es un hecho ;)Reseña completa: https://masromance.blogspot.com/2019/...Una novela en la que creo ha puesto todos sus conocimientos. Ha cogido una historia que sabe que gusta con un protagonista masculino, de los que sabe que nos gustan, de esos que cada vez que abre la boca, se nos doblan las piernas... no le falta de nada, oye y encima chicarrón encantador, y nos recupera a nuestros personajes queridos de sus novelas más conocidasTodo esto lo agita y le sale una novela con una historia muy bonita, de las que a mí me encantan pero... solo le quito esa ultima estrella porque al final me ha dejado a cuadros... ¿Y el resto?Pero, por fin, he leído a la Kleypas que me gusta y con la que disfruto tanto. ¿para cuando en castellano? que lo quiero volver a leer, en original seguro que me he perdido muchas frases de esas que me gustan recordar

**** 4.5 Stars!!!!!*****Another fabulous read in this series!Review to come!

<3 5 STARS <3Such a beautiful story, this is one of my top favorite reads in the series!It has everything I wanted and even more.I loved it so much and this story, touched me in so many ways.My heart was aching for both characters, as they struggled with their own issues.I adored West and Phoebe, th

Title: Devil's DaughterSeries: Ravenels #5Author: Lisa KleypasRelease date: February 19, 2019Cliffhanger: NoGenre: historical romanceIf you would have told me I'd be excited about West's book when I started the series, I'd have thought you were full of it. But here I am, saying that this was one of my most anticipated books of the year and I loved every minute of it. West has gone through such a transformation, proving over and over again that he's a changed man who wants to do the right thing by his family. Instead of being an albatross around their necks, he works hard to finally give them the security they've lacked for so long. After years of debauchery, embarrassment, and a lack of purpose, he's finally on the right track in his life. That doesn't mean that he believes his many sins are now erased. “You don’t understand how thin the veil is that separates me from what I used to be.”Phoebe is the daughter of Sebastian and Evie, (Devil in Winter) and the brother of Gabriel (Devil in Spring.) The fact that the St. Vincent family is once again getting page time as well as a Wallflower reunion and an introduction to Marcus and Lillian's son??? I had heart eyes the entire time while reading this. Phoebe is everything I hoped she would be and more, and the perfect match for West. She's a young widow with two little boys who is just starting to heal and move on, two years after her husband passed away. The last thing she's interested in is falling in love, most especially with the childhood bully who tormented her husband at boarding school. She knows that it's old history, but she can't help but feel an immediate dislike towards him. I liked the fact that she was never mean or harsh when speaking to him at first, she simply tried to keep her distance. She was no match for his droll sense of humor and sensitivity towards her sons, and it didn't take her long to realize the man he had become was someone worthy of her respect. West struggles with self-esteem and seeing himself as an equal partner for the beautiful, titled, and wealthy Phoebe. As far as he's concerned, dalliances are the most he can give a woman. If his past were to resurface, he could hurt his family with the embarrassment of it all and that's not something he's willing to risk. doesn't realize how naturally he steps into a father figure role, and how very much he has to offer. Phoebe is yet another strong heroine from Kleypas that I fell in love with. She married her childhood sweetheart even knowing that his early death was inevitable. She wanted to cherish him during the time they were given, and she faced all of the hardship that came along with that without complaint. She's intelligent, willing to self-reflect on her flaws, and doesn't allow people to push her around or manage her. With Henry she had a tender love, but with West she's found something altogether different and unfamiliar. Passion. Consuming, breathtaking, and unstoppable. “I want you with my entire body." West dragged his mouth over hers, shaping her lips before settling in for a rough and ardent kiss. “You’re all I think about. You’re all I see. You’re the center of a star, and the force of gravity keeps pulling me closer, and I don’t give a damn that I’m about to be incinerated.”Phoebe and West come to an impasse, and it takes a little bit of maneuvering on a certain beloved character's part in order to see the lovebirds find their HEA. Honestly, I think he was the perfect person to open West's eyes and show him that redeemed rakes make the best husbands. I loved his role in this story, and I will never tire of seeing him cherish and care for his family. If I could bring up a complaint, it would be that West's realization of love felt a bit rushed. I debated taking a bit off my rating for it, but in the end it didn't alter my enjoyment in the book at all. The dialogue was hilarious, the interactions between Phoebe and West were heartfelt and heated. I didn't want it to end. If you're new to this series, it can be read as a standalone, but you're really missing out if you haven't introduced yourself to the Ravenels yet. Cassandra is the only sister left to marry off, but the good news is that there may be a series for the Wallflower children coming next!!! Sign me up, please! She felt as if they were still beyond the reach of the world, entangled even though their bodies were separate. He was part of her now, his name emblazoned on her skin with invisible but permanent ink.FOLLOW SMOKIN HOT BOOK BLOG ON:

*** 4 Me ciega el Fangirleo STARS *** West sonrió levemente, su mirada obsesionada regresó a la figura de Phoebe en el retrato. "No la merezco", murmuró, sin tener la intención de hacerlo. "Por supuesto que no. Tampoco merezco a mi esposa. Es un hecho injusto de la vida que los peores hombres terminen con las mejores mujeres ". SEBASTIANSEBASTIAN SEBASTIAN I was made for lovin' you babyYou were made for lovin' meAnd I can't get enough of you baby🎼🎤AMOOOOO a este hombre, es perfección en su máximo esplendor, me asombra que cada día sea más perfecto casi llegando a niveles del olimpo.Sigue siendo tan él, pícaro, sexy, elegante un desvergonzado pero ahora con una madurez y sabiduría que le han dado los año lo ha vuelto más irresistible.Mantiene la llama de la pasión con Evie y es más lindo y tierno pero siendo tan él. Su capítulo con ella es mi favorito.Como padre es genial y como abuelo lo máximo.Cada vez que salía tenía una cara de embobada y sonriendo como tonta, como cuando Lady Gaga miraba a Bradley Cooper así mero.PERO este no es su libro es de Phoebe y West y como libro de ellos le falto. Le hizo falta profundidad a los personajes sobre todo a West y desarrollo. Sientí que su enamoramiento fue un instalove, además que por lo que decía la sinopsis yo esperaba un enemies to lovers. No voy a negar que tuvo partes muy lindas y bonitas entre ellos y sobre todo las escenas de West con los niños eran de los más tiernas.Como protagonista Phoebe me gustó mucho, yo pensé que por su historia de amor tan perfecta e idealizada con Henry su amigo desde la niñez ella iba a estar más reacia a amar y no fue así. Ella era una mujer bastante realista porque a pesar de haber amado profundamente a su marido no lo idealizó estaba consciente de sus virtudes y defectos.Al conocer a West también se dio cuenta lo que siempre le faltó en su vida, ser ella misma con la persona que amaba y no estar preocupada de decepcionarlo y defraudarlo es por eso que ella se permitió amar a West.West a pesar de que esperaba mucho de él, lo sigo amando y sigue siendo mi personaje favorito de los Ravenels.Con él me pasó lo mismo que con Colin Bridgerton que en los libros anteriores a los suyos me gustaron más que en el de ellos. Lisa solo dejó entrever un poco del West divertido, sarcástico, coqueto y seductor que conocimos anteriormente pero la mayor parte estuvimos ante su versión emo, no valgo nada, no merezco nada y shalala y no es que su parte emo fuera mala pero si hubiera habido un equilibro entre las dos sería excelente. Aun así West es increíble y lo AMO.Ahora sí vamos a mi queja que es ese final a la Gurhke, sin epílogo pareciera que me cortaron el libro y está incompleto yo necesitaba más mucho más. Me siento insatisfecha EXIJO MI EPÍLOGO!! Si me hubiera dado uno desde el punto de vista de Evie y Sebastian me cae que le hubiera dado las 5 estrellas con los ojos cerrados. Conclusión: Creo que Lisa Kleypas quiso rescatar esta serie trayendo a personajes tan queridos como Evie y Sebastian sobre todo que éste tiene miles de fans incluyéndome y nos quiso dar el gustito pero Lisa no contó con que West es uno de sus personajes más queridos en esta serie y no le dio la justicia que se merece.Ahora toca esperar el de Cassandra y Severin que me intriga este último no lo voy a negar pero así voy con bajas expectativas.
