If you recently talked about Jew Deveraux as an outstanding writer of the most diverse romantic genre and complemented by many other genres, talk about Lisa kleypas supposes something similar only that more constrained to a combination of romance novel and historical setting. The Kleypas thing is to tackle a multitude of new narrative proposals in scenarios that he knows perfectly well and that works divinely with the romantic: the nineteenth-century atmosphere.
The nineteenth century moved in its first half completely surrendered to the romantic current while its last decades supposed a greater realism and finally an eclecticism typical of the new modern world that appeared to the twentieth century.
In that chiaroscuro environment that meant moving between reason, passion, customs, mysteries, revolution, faith and powerful rationalism between the nineteenth century, Kleypas' novels play perfectly with a varied focus on the loves and heartbreaks of those times that have come to the our days in sepia photographs ...

Temptation at dusk
The Hathaway family gives a lot of themselves so that Lisa Kleypas build disparate novels with which they always surprise their readers through intense romances with the clear historical component that always makes them travel to scenes with a scent of the glorious nineteenth-century past, among ancient customs, still great enigmas of the unknown world and the feeling of love as a protected asset.
This time the story revolves around who is perhaps the least relevant character (up to now) of the Hathaways. But of course, as soon as Harry Ruthledge enters the scene, the supposed irrelevance of Poppy's character is triggered.
The marriage between the two becomes an adventure in itself, an extraordinary story about passion and mistrust that elevates the character of Poppy to an unexpected role in the saga ...
The devil has blue eyes
For me the best novel in the Travis saga. The argument, with a hackneyed appearance in regards to the tough guy who ends up being a man of principle, results in an interesting proposal that stands out for the dynamic scenes that invite you to not stop reading.
Between Hardy Cates, the bad and rebellious, and Haven Travis, the familiar girl convinced of her destiny, that chemistry ends up unleashing that destabilizes everything and that disrupts the behavior, attitude and perspective that others have on each other.
