(Click on the title to know more about it on Goodreads.)
 Author:  Lisa Kleypas
Genre: Historical Romance
Publication Date:  February 18th, 2020

Goodreads Summary:

Everything has a price...

Railway magnate Tom Severin is wealthy and powerful enough to satisfy any desire as soon as it arises. Anything—or anyone—is his for the asking. It should be simple to find the perfect wife—and from his first glimpse of Lady Cassandra Ravenel, he’s determined to have her. But the beautiful and quick-witted Cassandra is equally determined to marry for love—the one thing he can’t give.

Everything except her...

Severin is the most compelling and attractive man Cassandra has ever met, even if his heart is frozen. But she has no interest in living in the fast-paced world of a ruthless man who always plays to win.

When a newfound enemy nearly destroys Cassandra’s reputation, Severin seizes the opportunity he’s been waiting for. As always, he gets what he wants—or does he? There’s one lesson Tom Severin has yet to learn from his new bride:

Never underestimate a Ravenel.

The chase for Cassandra’s hand may be over. But the chase for her heart has only just begun...


I'm waiting because...

I love this series and this author, especially her historical books. This is also Tom Severin's book! I have been waiting for his book as soon as he was introduced lol!

 Author:  Lisa Kleypas
Genre: Historical Romance

Goodreads Summary:

A woman who defies her time

Dr. Garrett Gibson, the only female physician in England, is as daring and independent as any man—why not take her pleasures like one? Yet she has never been tempted to embark on an affair, until now. Ethan Ransom, a former detective for Scotland Yard, is as gallant as he is secretive, a rumored assassin whose true loyalties are a mystery. For one exhilarating night, they give in to their potent attraction before becoming strangers again.

A man who breaks every rule

As a Ravenel by-blow spurned by his father, Ethan has little interest in polite society, yet he is captivated by the bold and beautiful Garrett. Despite their vow to resist each other after that sublime night, she is soon drawn into his most dangerous assignment yet. When the mission goes wrong, it will take all of Garrett's skill and courage to save him. As they face the menace of a treacherous government plot, Ethan is willing to take any risk for the love of the most extraordinary woman he's ever known.

THIRSTY THURSDAY AND HUNGRY HEARTS ~ #3

Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts - (un)Conventional Bookviews

It is hosted by Unconventional Bookviews . The idea of Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts is to share a quote with food or drinks that showed up in a recent read, as well as if it’s something you think you’d like or not. 
So without further ado:

This week, my quote is from my top favourite book in this year so far, Devil in Spring from The Ravenels series by Lisa Kleypas. Its a historical romance story. Gabriel, son of Sebastian and Evie from Devil in Winter(Wallflowers series) is our hero and Pandora a wild spirited, independent and a very sweet girl is our heroine. Thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Now you enjoy reading about the feast.

The Challons’ cook and kitchen staff had outdone themselves with a variety of dishes featuring spring vegetables and local fish and game. Although the cook back home at Eversby Priory was excellent, the food at Heron’s Point was a cut above. There were colorful vegetables cut into tiny julienne strips, tender artichoke hearts roasted with butter, steaming crayfish in a sauce of white burgundy and truffles, and delicate filets of sole coated with crisp breadcrumbs. Pheasant covered with strips of bacon and roasted to juicy, smoky perfection was served with a side of boiled potatoes that had been whipped with cream and butter into savory melting fluff. Beef roasts with peppery crackled hides were brought out on massive platters, along with golden-crusted miniature game pies, and macaroni baked with Gruyère cheese in clever little tart dishes.

Thanks for stopping by! Leave links to your Thirsty Thursdays, I'll be sure to check it out!

Title: Devil in Spring (The Ravenels, #3)
(Click on the title to know more about it on goodreads.)
 Author:  Lisa Kleypas
Genre:  Historical Romance
Publication Date:  February 21st, 2017


Goodreads Summary:



An eccentric wallflower…

Most debutantes dream of finding a husband. Lady Pandora Ravenel has different plans. The ambitious young beauty would much rather stay at home and plot out her new board game business than take part in the London Season. But one night at a glittering society ball, she’s ensnared in a scandal with a wickedly handsome stranger.

A cynical rake…

After years of evading marital traps with ease, Gabriel, Lord St. Vincent, has finally been caught-by a rebellious girl who couldn’t be less suitable. In fact, she wants nothing to do with him. But Gabriel finds the high-spirited Pandora irresistible. He’ll do whatever it takes to possess her, even if their marriage of convenience turns out to be the devil’s own bargain.

A perilous plot…

After succumbing to Gabriel’s skilled and sensuous persuasion, Pandora agrees to become his bride. But soon she discovers that her entrepreneurial endeavors have accidentally involved her in a dangerous conspiracy and only her husband can keep her safe. As Gabriel protects her from their unknown adversaries, they realize their devil’s bargain may just turn out to be a match made in heaven...


I'm waiting because...


I love Lisa Kleypas's writing. She's a genius when it comes to historical romance. I just devour her historical books so can't get enough of them. Thankfully it's releasing soon. I've been waiting for it for a LONG time! Also, the cover is so pretty!

The Three W's are :

What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you'll read next?

Currently Reading :
I am reading a Historical Romance book, Secrets of a Summer Night by Lisa Kleypas from Wallflowers series. This is a series about girls who are wallflowers in London. They are all very sweet and how they plan to end up with husbands. The first book is about Annabelle who standard wise is rich but money is broke and she is looking for a husband and it can be anyone but Simon Hunt because he is a rake. Simon Hunt is a butchers son who becomes rich by investing money and has everything but he is still lonely and for some reason his attention is captured by Annabelle, who despises him a lot.
I am really enjoying this Lisa Kleypas can write amazing Historical Romance!

Recently Finished :
The Ravenels series's two released book, Cold-Hearted Rake and Marrying Winterborne by Lisa Kleypas. Reading these two books has gotten me into the historical genre mood and so I am continuing with her books. These two books were fantastic honestly. Devon and Rhys Winterborne both first agitate you but once they set their eyes on the girls, they just transform into such lovable characters! Can't wait for book 3!

Reading Next :
I will be continue on with the Wallflowers series only, because I genuinely can't get enough of Lisa Kleypas's historical books! If you are looking for amazing Historical Romance and stories which show some modern changes in historical books, she is the author you should look for.
