Tempt Me at Twilight by Lisa Kleypas
4.0
This was a delight to read. I finished in one day and I had a marvel of a good time going through it. Harry was a character, literally and figuratively…
“It was just that he wanted her so damned badly. And he had become accustomed to having his way, especially where women were concerned. He reflected that it probably wouldn't hurt him to learn to consider someone else's feelings. Especially if that would hasten the process of getting what he wanted.”
While he had his flaws, he had what every good man in a swoon-worthy romance should possess in spades: complete and utter devotion to the woman he loves.
Poppy, on the other hand, was a sweetheart. She was smart, funny, witty, and both quick and clumsy on her feet. However, what really made this book fun was the side characters. The staff of Harry’s hotel truly cared about him and their quips and banter were so fun. Poppy’s family was so sweet I have a cavity.
I’m glad I read this book first because her older sisters got married in the previous books and it was interesting to see the family more developed with the new husbands and the roles they each had. Leo and Beatrix are the 2 Hathaways yet to be married but I want to read Win’s book, Seduce Me at Sunrise, because I love a snappy overprotective and loving husband like Kev Merripen.
“Merripen had responded with a volley of Romany that no one except Cam could understand. And Cam refused to translate a word of it, claiming there were no English equivalents and that was a good thing.”
The book also surprised me how diverse it was. The characters all excel in a certain field of knowledge whether it be business, poetry, reading, engineering, or animal taming, it was pleasant to see oddities and trinkets from all over the world embellish the tale of Harry and Poppy.
Since this was my first Lisa Kleypas book and she’s well known for her historical romances, I was unsure what I would think of her writing. After finishing this book, I can say with upmost certainty that I love how she writes. The husbands seem pretty redundant in terms of macho personality traits but I’m a sucker for the grumpy tall ones, so I don’t mind. The spicy scenes gave me goosebumps! They were described so openly but classy at the same time? But also oozed ravenous desire and uncontrolled pleasure??? I don’t know how she did it, I just know she did.
And did it very well ;))) *hehehe
* Translation: I’m pushing my eyebrows up repeatedly and slightly lowering my face with a wicked smirk.
