A LIttle Romance
Et nos cedamus amori. And we, too, shall yield to love. – Virgil

Revisiting The Wallflowers

You know how favorite books soothe, relax. It's been a while since I read Lisa Kleypas' Wallflower series. Busy and a bit stressed out this month of April, I decided to listen to one. Re-enthralled, I listened to another. Then I had to listen to the whole series.
I looove these books. I think it's safe to say they are historical romance classics. The main characters have their moments -- some more than others. But ultimately, they are all loveable. I think I have favorites, but I feel guilty naming them. So I won't. I love them all. 

Given that, it's a joy to see them interact as a group throughout the series. Of course there's a main couple per book, but the others are there, supporting, advising, and making us laugh. It's magnificent.


I went through them quickly. I've read the books in the past, possibly even listened to some, if not all. But as I said, it's been a while. The narrator is great. It was easy to listen as I did all sorts of physical work -- that is to say, anything that did not require real concentration on my part. 

So when I finished the series, I wasn't ready to let go. But I also didn't want to start the same series over. Well...I sort of wanted to. But I decided to exercise some control. I opted to start another Kleypas series instead, The Ravenels.

Marrying Winterborne is my favorite of the series. In fact, Rhys Winterborne is one of my favorite romantic heroes. He's just so sweet. But again, this is Lisa Kleypas. It's nigh on impossible to not care about any of the main characters throughout the series.

I've finally moved onto a different author and series -- not that I won't return time and time again. And I haven't read all of Kleypas' series, which means I surely have some delightful new characters to meet in the future.

But if you're a rare romance fan who hasn't read any of her books, I highly recommend The Wallflowers and The Ravenels. You'll fall in love.

    Romance!

    It's no secret that I prefer fat HEAs. Where better than in a beautiful romance?

    Mysteries -- Cozy Mysteries!


    Fun, diverse, and clever, this genre also offers those satisfying endings I prefer. Moreover, they often include a romantic interest.  I absolutely love these books and have "discovered" many wonderful authors, books, and series to enjoy.

    Since, like my favorite romances, cozy mysteries are feel good books with wonderful settings, characters, and satisfying endings, I will be featuring them now and then.

    Happy Reading!
