It’s all mostly quite light and fun.Īs in pretty much all Lisa Kleypas books, the dialogue is amazing: it’s witty, sharp, revealing, and insightful. There are plenty of accidental meetings, meddling relatives and secretaries, an adorable orphan child named Bazzle, one or more humorous lice infestations, and, of course, a Big Scandal. Most of the book describes their quite entertaining will-they-or-won’t-they quasi-courtship over the course of many months. Cassandra is charmed by Tom, but wants to marry for love, and Tom claims to be incapable of that.
Tom is basically instantly smitten with Cassandra, but he’s also afraid of how intensely she makes him feel. This wedding is where Tom and Cassandra meet. We open on the wedding of Pandora and Gabriel, who were the main couple from a previous book in the series, Devil in Spring. After all, I love to read about a Sad Historical Businessman brought low by love! Unfortunately, while I enjoyed this book, it also pained me because I felt like it could have been so much more. I have been hoping for a book about Tom since he was introduced in the first book in the Ravenels series. In Chasing Cassandra, the sixth book in the Ravenels series, railway magnate Tom Severin finally gets his turn to be the hero.
