Book Review: Suddenly You by Lisa Kleypas

She was unmarried, untouched and almost thirty, but novelist Amanda Briars wasn't about to greet her next birthday without making love to a man. When he appeared at her door, she believed he was her gift to herself, hired for one night of passion. Unforgettably handsome, irresistibly virile, he tempted her in ways she never thought possible. . .but something stopped him from completely fulfilling her dream.

Jack Devlin's determination to possess Amanda became greater when she discovered his true identity. But gently bred Amanda craved respectability more than she admitted, while Jack, the cast-off son of a nobleman and London's most notorious businessman, refused to live by society's rules. Yet when fate conspired for them to marry, their worlds collided with a passionate force neither had expected. . . but both soon craved.

What I liked: The tension between the two characters and the humor with which they dealt with their situation. He is considered a rogue and businessman - and completely against the idea of love. She is an accomplished writer and self proclaimed spinster who enjoys the freedom that her lifestyle has brought her. Obviously, the two do not at first see eye to eye but the relationship that develops is both hot and sweet.

What I didn't like: While I will admit that it's been a little while since I have read this book I think that I can honestly say that there weren't any serious problems with this book. It was light and fluffy, the way that a romance novel should be written.
