Book Reviews of Then Came You
Book Review: A historical romance that is a real page turner!
Summary: 5 Stars
When you are first introduced to our heroine, Lily, I must admit I wasn't sure what to think. She lives by her own outlandish rules and does the exact opposite of what is considered respectable. However, she is a woman on a mission and wrapped in her own hidden agenda. When she puts aside a family grudge too help her younger sister try and prevent an unwanted marriage, she sees her parents for the first time in years. While constantly sabotaging the life of Alex Raiford, the attraction that blooms between the two could ignite a forest fire.
Alex wants a biddable wife even though he is drawn to Lily and her outlandish way of living. He has loved before, and his fiancé was thrown from a horse, and died. He doesn't want to ever have to deal with falling in love with anyone and having to face that type of loss again.
Okay, WOW! THEN CAME YOU is so thoroughly engrossing, I had a hard time coming up for air! Ms Kleypas has a writing style that sucks you in and keeps the story well organized so you don't get lost or confused. Her characters are well developed and I felt, very believable. Lily is one amazing woman; she is so full of life and strength that she is easily one of my favorite heroines. Alex has so many chances to publicly humiliate her, yet you fall in love with his compassionate side even as he fights against himself (trying not to fall in love).
Additionally, I really liked the secondary characters, and am so glad that Derek will have his own story (DREAMING OF YOU). It tore at my heart that he didn't think he was good enough for Lily, but at the same time he protected her...even when Lily didn't think he was acting in her best interests.
While the bad guys get their due in the end and our couple gets together, there are so many interesting twists that THEN CAME YOU will end before you are ready. I recommend reading this book when you know you can read the tale from start to finish!
