All opinions contained herein are my own. I was not required to write a review or to write a positive review. NOTE: I received an eARC of this book via Edelweiss. The romance in this book is self-contained and can be read as a standalone, but since these two characters have appeared in prior books in the series, I think this book is much better after reading the others in the series. WORTH MENTIONING: Content Warning for attempted sexual assault.ĬONNECTED BOOKS: CHASING CASSANDRA is the sixth book in the Ravenels series. I loved that change and loved the relationship between these characters. To see how she guides the events in this book even if she isn’t as prominent in this book as other Kleypas heroines. But on my second time through the book, I began to notice her more. Tom’s character is so compelling that Cassandra seems to be lost. Tom doesn’t know if when he meets Cassandra, but he is going to be completely willing to change for her. Neither of those characteristics are things that Cassandra can accept. Readers of the series will know that he also has a flexible version of right and wrong. Tom is a man who doesn’t know how to process feelings. I really loved how the gentle and kind Cassandra really shakes up Tom’s life and expectations of himself. El magnate del ferrocarril Tom Severin es lo suficientemente rico y poderoso para satisfacer todos sus caprichos al instante, por lo que, en teoría, debería resultarle muy sencillo encontrar una esposa perfecta. That was perfectly fine with me because he is such an interesting and damaged character that his journey was compelling to me. La sexta y última entrega de «Los Ravenel», la saga más exitosa de Lisa Kleypas.

OPINION: Tom is definitely the star in this book. There is a compelled by circumstances marriage and Tom and Cassandra try and manage their expectations of one another. But Cassandra wants to marry for love and Tom knows that he cannot love. THE STORY: The first glimpse of Lady Cassandra Ravenel is enough for railroad magnate Tom Severin to know that she was exactly what he wanted. Cassandra is a kind person and the way she gentles Tom is wonderful, but Tom is the compelling character in this one. FINAL DECISION: Fabulous ending for the Ravenels series although I admit to being much more interested in Tom than in Cassandra. But the chase for her heart has only just begun. The chase for Cassandra's hand may be over. As always, he gets what he wants - or does he? There's one lesson Tom Severin has yet to learn from his new bride: When a newfound enemy nearly destroys Cassandra's reputation, Severin seizes the opportunity he's been waiting for. But she has no interest in living in the fast-paced world of a ruthless man who always plays to win. Severin is the most compelling and attractive man Cassandra has ever met, even if his heart is frozen. But the beautiful and quick-witted Cassandra is equally determined to marry for love - the one thing he can't give. It should be simple to find the perfect wife - and from his first glimpse of Lady Cassandra Ravenel, he's determined to have her. Anything - or anyone - is his for the asking. Railway magnate Tom Severin is wealthy and powerful enough to satisfy any desire as soon as it arises.
