I am a big fan of Lisa Kleypas. I love her historicals. I heard about her contemporaries. I wanted to give them a try, but I was afraid I wouldn't love them as much as I do her historicals. Contemporary novels and I have had our fair share of issues in the past. So I waited, and waited, and waited, until I finally found it in the library. Then I snatched it so fast, it made the other patrons' heads spin.
I laughed, and chuckled, and giggled, out loud and in my head all the way through the book. Kleypas wrote a gem when she wrote Smooth Talking Stranger. I can't possibly say enough good things about this book. The dialogue was witty, the leads had phenomenal chemistry, the path from singledom to motherhood and coupledom was breathtaking and sweet.
When I finished the book, I closed with a blissful sigh and one thought running through my head... must own my very own copy. I wanted to sing praises about this book to the nearest person I could find -- and I did. It happened to be my mother. She's now borrowing it from the library.
I'm so thrilled to be converted to the dark side (contemporaries). I've put my name on the hold list for Blue-Eyed Devil
The book pits a high society Texan playboy against a woman who has no use for his charm, wealth, or position other than forcing him to admit he's the father of her sister's new baby.
