Recommended Read!

It’s no secret that Lisa Kleypas is one of my favorite authors and that I’ll read and most likely love anything she writes. I speak from experience. Even the books I’ve liked the least are still better than most other things I’ve read. So when she has a new book out, I don’t look at blurbs much and just jump for joy that I get to start reading.

Devil in Disguise was a special treat because, as part of the Ravenels series, we get to explore the lives of the Wallflower children and this was amazing if you’re a longtime fan. There are secrets and revelations in this book that you may not have seen coming (at least I didn’t) and as a die hard Wallflower fan, this made my heart so happy. I can’t elaborate much more than that because I don’t want to give it away.

Merritt is our widowed heroine and she is a take charge kind of girl. She’s been running her Late husbands’ shipping business and earning the respect of surly sailors, all while still keeping a nice demeanor and not being coy about what she wants. I loved her! She’s also Lillian and Marcus daughter and I can’t be impartial here because they are my favorite Wallflower couple.

The hero Keir is our first Scottish hero and a total sweetheart. I was swooning from the very beginning and just never stopped.

The chemistry between is quite instant and maybe their romance takes a turn into insta love, which usually would be a problem for me. But I adored it. It just felt so natural between them I couldn’t question any of it. I was just along for the fun ride. And when a bit of danger and mystery gets in the way, I was even more invested.

DEVIL IN DISGUISE left me with a huge smile on my face. It’s the perfect sweet and romantic book that I knew Lisa Kleypas could deliver. And while it’s not become a favorite in the series, I loved the addition to the series. I can’t wait for whatever she has in store for us next.
