Summary: A different yet just as satisfying LK read
Comment: This just might be one of my favorite LK read to date. I've read almost all of her newer stuff and you can tell she has advanced in her writing, yet she is still unbelievable. This book is different from a lot of her other novels. Derek (the male love interest) is a little darker than the other male leads LK has set up. Not only that but he acquires a scar on his face (from a jealous ex-lover) which is different since the other male leads usually have no major disfigurements. Even with the scar, he is no less handsome and it doesn't affect the reader's mental image of him greatly.
The thing about this book is that there is no great secret of the man's in the near-end that will bring the two main characters closer together. Derek lays all his secrets bare to Sara (a writer who has come for research for her next novel and is observing Derek's gambling club that he owns to acquire the research) and lets her form her own ideas of him. I prefered this to the usual tell-the-woman-the-big-bad-secret-at-the-near-end. Derek expects to be shunned but isn't (that would cause a problem in the romance departmentif her were). Derek almost seems a little darker than the male interests in LK's other books but he is no less appealing. In fact, he is probably one of the most memorable. This book only solidified my loyalty as a Lisa Kleypas fan. It is a thouroughly enjoyable read. It also has enough sensuality to keep the reader intrigued but not so much that you start to wonder when the characters sleep at all (or where they acquired their sexual appetite). Kleypas has done us proud yet again!

Summary: I'd rate it higher if I could
Comment: I really enjoyed this book. It was great from the first chapter. Derek, a man who grew up in the streets among thiefs, prostitutes, etc. becomes a wealthy man as the owner of an exclusive gaming club. Sara is a writer who wants to learn all she can about gaming clubs to add to her next book. He doesn't feel he's good enough for her and therefore does not allow himself to get close to her. She loves him and want him to "show her what love is all about" but he refuses to allow her to "settle for someone like him". I absolutely love books where the man feels he's unworthy of his lady love. The ending was so touching it made me want to cry. A perfect match as Derek and Sara needed each other...for their own particular reasons. They completed each other. This is the sequel to "Then Came You". I didn't read that one first as I was unaware and I will read it anyway but if you want them in the correct order...

Summary: IN MY FIRST-TO-GRAB-BOOKS-IN-CASE-THERE'S-A-FIRE SHELF
Comment: At last, Derek's book. I've been craving to read Derek's story since I've finish reading Lily's. If you want a book without the pushy heroine, this book is for you. Sara is stubborn at somethings but she's understanding and doesn't push the hero into proclaiming his love for her all though the story. I absolutely love the part when Derek thought he was seeing Sara's ghost in the club. I am glad that the author brought back the charcters from the previous book, Then Came You, in this one (I love checking in on what else happened to previously read characters). A five star book that is a destined keeper.
