Great story! Each book in this series has been better than the one before! The story is so good that I make sure I have the next book before I am finished with the one that I am reading. Keep up the good work!

I LOVE Lisa Kleypas' novels.  This is the first of her contemporary stories I read though and I had a hard time getting into it.  I really dislike novels that are written in first-person.  I almost didn't finish it but decided to give it a chance.  By the second or third chapter I was able to forget the narration and get into the story; I ended up really enjoying it...until the epilogue and then the first-person narration hit me in the face again.  But, as with all of her books, this Lisa Kleypas gem stays in the realm of reality.  The characters are real and imperfect, the situations they find themselves in are plausible; the story never flies you off on dragon wings to a fairy-filled forest of rainbows, which I really appreciate.

This book is the beginning of a series I'm so excited to continue reading.  Lisa Edward has a talent for story telling; she paints a picture so vivid you become a part of her story with every one of your senses.  As far as I'm concerned, Lisa nailed it with this story!

This story was absolutely fantastic - my new favorite book!  It is so well written and I could not put it down.  Dr. Gibson's character was so refreshing and I was so happy to see her get her own story.  I also wish I had a character like Ethan in my life!  All in all, another wonderful story by Lisa Kleypas!

GREAT READ!  I will be purchasing the second book.  I like when someone doesn't recognize someone as being famous like Dylan and that he likes it that she's likes him for him and not for who he is to the public. Keep up the great story telling Lisa.

The Competition was another great book by Ms. Clark!  The subject matter was very timely.  It kept you interested in the story from the beginning to the really great ending!

I like the main character, Rachel Knight, and her friendship with Bailey and Toni, and last, but not least, Graden!

I look forward to her next book.

Read the book to get the whole storyit will be worth the time!

Ever since I read "Dreaming of You", Ms. Kleypas has enriched the Victorian Age romance with stories that display heat and passion.  I often buy my books from used books stores so trust me when the cashier said that this book was over seven dollars I hoped with all my might that it would be perfect. I was not disappointed.
Ms. Kleypas once again blends a simple romance and complex plots twist into a story that one can read again and again. I had forgotten that Ms. Kleypas had plan a sequel for her Bow Street runners and now I hope that she supplies more stories about these real life historical figures.
Don't miss out on this book it is a great all night read!
I only have one other comment though, what happen to Sir Ross' fat cat that he kept in his office?

I was so happy to see that Lisa Kleypas has returned to writing historical novels!  This was a fantastic book and definitely not a disappointment.  Can't wait for the next one!

I have read this story several times over the years and love it!
Aspasia is a woman ahead of her time. She is smart, courageous, pro-active.
She began a school of learning for women in times when that was almost impossible. This is the story of her life and how she came to do that. She is a strong female character!
I have shared this book with others and they also love it!

Lisa has done it again! I read The Story Keeper in one day. I couldn't put it down, but wished I had savored it slowly. When a great story pulls you in, it's hard to find a stopping place. Make this a MUST READ on your book list. Lisa  just keeps getting better and better. The Story Keeper will become one of your favorite books.

Great story!  Well written!  I enjoyed it all the way through.  Robert Whitlow is a great Christian writer.  I've enjoyed all of his books.

First off I have been a fan of Lisa Kleypas' books for a very long time.  Some I have not read more than once, and others have been nearly worn out from re-reading that I probably will have to go and buy a Kindle version so that I can keep reading long after the paperback book binding has given out.  Where Dreams Begin has my favorite Kleypas hero and I'm not ashamed to say it.  Zachary Bronson.....*sigh*....but I digress.....

.....So, back to the newest release: what I loved most about it was again, the hero.  Yes, Devon was a jerk sometimes, obstinate, a bully and whatever else a rake might be, but that's what makes it so good!  His character is changed and redeemed in the book and we get to see it.  He inherited an Earldom through no fault of his own and ended up falling in love with his cousin's widow to boot.  Devon and Kathleen are very different in their characterizations, and if it's one thing Kleypas does well, it's her characters.  I firmly got a sense of who Devon and Kathleen were, WHY they were the way they were, and why they changed.  She also gives us great secondary characters that I also adored, of which one was featured prominently in this book and will have his own book next, Rhys Winterborne.

West, Devon's brother, was also redeemed from a drunken wastrel who will end up being a great hero in his own story, but he will take a back seat to Winterborne who had a quite nasty scene that I didn't see coming.  And ooooh, has he quite made himself out to be a dark character!  However, I do have faith in Kleypas to explain why she made him to be as despicable as can be so that she can turn him around.

I don't like status-quo characters, carbon copies of heroes and heroines in my books.  Frankly, they are old, stale and over done.  Kleypas gives us raw, unique, flawed characters that you love to hate, but in the end, you love them anyway.  I can't wait to see how she redeems Rhys and lets Helen out of her shy shell.  Maybe it takes the meek and tenderhearted to take down the big bad wolf.

This was my first time reading Lisa Kleypas, having met her at the RWA Conference in Dallas.
I loved the book!  Felt like I personally knew the characters and the plot was very good.  I hated to turn the last page and say goodbye to Liberty, Gage, Carrington and the rest of the characters.
I'll be reading much more of Kleypas and I'm very glad I found her great writing.
