At the halfway point, I was certain that I must have been reading a different book to the one I had rated 5 stars. I was blubbering like a baby, swearing at men in general and calling Alex a bugger, bugger, poo bum git head (my most scathing insult). Had I got it all wrong? Maybe, I had read it with rose coloured glasses? It became imperative that I go on. I had to confirm that Lisa Kleypas is and was one of the Queens of Historical Romance.
What a bloody fool I'd been. Of course, it was brilliant. Alex was amazing, sexy, bossy and sweet. I loved him...and Lily was ok too...for a heroine.
The storyline was captivating, the characters interesting and the sexy times steamy. Everything I hope for in my favourite historical romance reads.
Honestly, Rosalyn Landor is one of the best narrators I've listened to. Her accents are spot on, and she does a very believable male voice. I could always tell when a character changed.
Loved listening to Then Came You and hope to listen to more Lisa Kleypas in the future.
