“Because the Dream…“Young, high-spirited Lady Madeline Matthews is expected to wed an aging, lecherous lord. But she would rather shame herself in the eyes of society than sacrifice her freedom, and resolves to render herself unmarriageable by indulging in a torrid affair with Britain’s most acclaimed actor and notorious womanizer, Logan Scott.
“Because the Heart…
“He is a legend in the footlights and in the bedchamber. But when the curtain falls, Logan is an intensely guarded man still tormented by past betrayals that cut deep into his pride and his heart. Now a forward little minx who seems completely out of place in the bright, sophisticated world of the London stage is disrupting his orderly existence with her constant presence, her unspoiled beauty and vibrant charm. And what begins with an onstage kiss threatens to blossom into something more rapturous and real. But first Logan and Madeline both must be brave enough to drop the masks they hide behind…and reveal their true selves in the golden glorious light of love.”
So, being the dork that I am (and thoroughly excited to read another book by Lisa Kleypas) I didn’t stop to think that I may be reading them out of order… Well, I did. This is the second in the Capitol Theatre Series and I accidentally read it first. I had my suspicions, but—silly me—I still read the book.
Either way, this was a fantastic story! Once more, Kleypas ushers readers back to 19th century England. The settings were so beautifully written and the plot is so well-thought-out that I devoured the story. There were so many twists and turns that I had NO idea that some of the drama was about to happen—and that’s impressive for an author to be able to do that. Anyone who has read my blog before knows that it’s not easy to pull the wool over my eyes.
Also, the characters were very touching. They seemed remarkably real and their emotions were so moving. I simply was not able to put this book down!
