I wanted to read a Kleypas book having heard a lot about her among the fans of this genre. Logically, starting with the most rated book (Devil in Winter has more ratings but that doesn’t count because it’s the THIRD book in a series) is the safest choice. Well, no. It wasn’t. When I started reading Mine Till Midnight and met a few couples, I had this weird feeling that these people have their own stories… and my guess was right and I got spoiled for Devil in Winter, the book I was looking forward to the most. Especially since the hero was a close friend to the love interest in Mine Till Midight.Romance spoilers might be trivial but they are still spoilers... So yeah, start with this book if you’re new to Lisa Kleypas.So about this book, it tells the story of Anabelle, her family is broke, and she is looking for a husband. This is her last season. If she doesn’t, she’ll have to marry a farmer (and God forbids) or become the mistress of a rich duke (better than being a governess, you know?). And Simon. The good-hearted, funny, smart, beautiful Simon. He’s dirty rich but he’s also self-made. Not one of the peers. So ew. I’m having trouble lately seeing the sparks between couples in many books and I wonder if there’s something wrong with me. Then I read an HR and no, it’s not me. Because the chemistry was hot and undeniable in this book. I loved the slow burn romance -and Simon. Definitely, one of my favorites love interests in this genre.The low point of this book however was Anabelle. They don’t have money left but they still hire a maid and a footman. She or her mom cleaning? What’s that? I didn’t understand how they can still hire people if they can’t pay …
