In the regency setting this might not be groundbreaking but in today’s climate where feminist ideals are rife and often used to degrade ‘archaic’ notions such as Cassandra’s, it’s a breath of fresh air. Cassandra is unapologetic about wanting a simple life as a mother to her children. An arrogant statement but that’s what makes his character development interesting.Īnother thing I love about this book is Kleypas’ characterization of Cassandra. He was known to only have five because according to him, that’s all he ever needs in life. One bit I really loved and that he kept doing was touching his chest as if to feel a different beat because Cassandra, the heroine, made him feel a new emotion. Moreover, the hero, Tom Severin, has quite a bit of room for redemption giving way to amusing monologues. The story unravels slowly in every chapter but it’s the indulgent kind you’d want to relish in, savoring every moment that would eventually lead to the much awaited happy ending. The prologue alone is a masterpiece of humorous banter that aptly sets the tone for the rest of the book, and is the perfect bait to hook readers. MY REVIEW: 4 of 5 stars to Chasing Cassandra by Lisa Kleypas ★★★★Ĭhasing Cassandra is yet another proof that Lisa Kleypas is the master of historical romance. But the chase for her heart has only just begun… The chase for Cassandra’s hand may be over. As always, he gets what he wants-or does he? There’s one lesson Tom Severin has yet to learn from his new bride: When a newfound enemy nearly destroys Cassandra’s reputation, Severin seizes the opportunity he’s been waiting for. But she has no interest in living in the fast-paced world of a ruthless man who always plays to win. Severin is the most compelling and attractive man Cassandra has ever met, even if his heart is frozen. But the beautiful and quick-witted Cassandra is equally determined to marry for love-the one thing he can’t give.

It should be simple to find the perfect wife-and from his first glimpse of Lady Cassandra Ravenel, he’s determined to have her. Anything-or anyone-is his for the asking.

Railway magnate Tom Severin is wealthy and powerful enough to satisfy any desire as soon as it arises. “The more of you there is in the world, the better.” Title: Chasing Cassandra Author: Lisa Kleypas Series: The Ravenels Genre: Historical Romance Published: February 18th 2020 by Avon Rating: 4/5 stars ★★★★
