My absolute favorite of all her books!

At one time I gave this book only 4 stars but, I’ve realized everything by Lisa Kleypas is 5 stars. At the time I gave this book 5 stars I was only reading books by Lisa K. But seriously all of her books are really perfect 10s. I’ve never read one that I wanted to put down.

Heartbreakingly beautiful.

I’d already read the Wallflowers series so I was aware of who Aline and Olivia were as part of Westcliff’s backstory. But this was an unexpected delight to read Aline’s and Olivia’s own stories and see how they landed where they did when they surface in the Wallflowers books. Westcliff is one of my favorite of Kleypas’ recurring characters, so it was great to get more storytelling including him and his sisters. The end had me tearing up!

Absolutely loved it. I was unable to put it down!

Emotional, heat warming love story!!!! A must read!

The title of this book is so apropos for me because Ms. Kleypas’ magical writing sent me into transports…again, as I started this series at the beginning and read the first book in the series. There were actually two romances fomenting in this book, two sisters who thought they were doomed to spinsterhood and magically found second chances in love. Lady Aline grows up with and falls in love with a stable boy called McKenna but later denounces him supposedly because of class differences—and McKenna shows up years later and the magic begins again. And her sister, Lady Livia, mourns her dead lover for years only to meet and fall in love with a rich wastrel called Gideon at a house party who stirs up Livia’s magic again. I can’t wait to read the second book in this series!

The best book of this writer!!!!!!

Love the story & characters!

Truly one of the best romance books by this author. Loved it.
