Then Came You

Chapter One

London, 1820

"Damn, damn...there it goes, the frigging thing!" A stream of curses floated on the gust of wind, shocking the guests at the water party.

The yacht was anchored in the middle of the Thames, the guests assembled in honor of King George. So far the party had been dull but dignified , everyone dutifully complimenting His Majesty's magnificently fitted yacht. With its brocaded furniture, fine mahogany, chandeliers of clustered crystal droplets, gilt sphinxes, and carved lions poised in every corner, the yacht was a floating pleasure palace. The guests had all been drinking heavily in order to attain the mild euphoria that would substitute for a real sense of enjoyment.

Perhaps the gathering would have been more entertaining had the king's health not been so poor. The recent death of his father and a taxing ordeal with gout had taken their toll, leaving him uncharacteristically morose. Now the king sought the company of people who would provide laughter and amusement to relieve his sense of isolation. That was why, it ... read full excerpt from: Then Came You ebook

Reviewer: A viewer from Toronto, Ontario CA
Loved this book. The author writes intelligent and sexy books and seems to have had great fun with this one - the mood swings from very dark and antagonistic at the beginning to romantic perfection at the end. The situations are more outlandish than usual but so well done, the characters well-drawn and matching in wit with their sharp-tongued exchanges - here's an example I particularly enjoyed: (after he proposes to her in bed when she's expecting him to instead ask her to be his mistress; he proposes; she thinks he's joking and replies bitterly; he covers her mouth gently to stop her words but she bites him instead: "You have no reason to propose to me; I've already agreed to be your mistress"; "I respect you too much for that, you hot-tempered b*tch"; "I don't want your respect. All I want is your five thousand pounds." Just loved it....

My favorite part of Lisa Kleypas book's is the interaction between the characters. The characters in this book made me want to laugh and cry at the same time. Truly worth the money. This book is highly recommended.

Reviewer: Liz from El Paso, TX US
I loved the independent heroine. I thought the storyline involving the child took a little away from the main character Lily. Alex the love interest was a good foil to Lily. And who can forget Derek. There was almost part of me who wanted them to get together. Griping characters & a story that keeps a rapid pace.

Reviewer: A viewer from Singapore, SG
A story with all the right elements. Heroine tries to save her sister from a loveless marriage to the Hero so he's infuriated and yet attracted to her. Throw in his jealousy due to the attention she gets from her gambler friend. The Heroine is a little too independent for my taste but an excellent read overall.
