However, Tom doesn’t feel much, having only five feelings he’s had to deal with all his life – the ones he allows himself to feel – since he got through his horrible childhood and is now a self-made man. The meeting between Cassandra and Tom Severin, a commoner, is delightfully done with Tom’s assurance he will marry her. She’s headed into her second season, and things aren’t looking too terrific for her to find love. Lady Cassandra Ravenel has just wished her twin sister a happy honeymoon and is now lamenting the hope she may find someone who will love her just as the rest of her family has found. In this last book of the Ravenel series, while Tom is not my favorite hero, I did so enjoy watching him slowly but surely realize what he’s always believed about himself is nowhere near the truth. While her Travis family books are still some of my favorites, I find myself captivated every so much by her historical romances. At that time I thought she couldn’t get any better.

In fact, I discovered her by reading her contemporaries first. I’m one of those who found Lisa Kleypas quite late in my years of romance reading. Historical Romance published by Avon 18 Feb 20 Sandy M’s review of Chasing Cassandra (Ravenels, Book 6) by Lisa Kleypas
