Description

ONE OF OPRAH MAG'S BEST ROMANCES OF 2020!

Everything has a price . . .

Railway magnate Tom Severin is wealthy and powerful enough to satisfy any desire as soon as it arises. Anything—or anyone—is his for the asking. It should be simple to find the perfect wife—and from his first glimpse of Lady Cassandra Ravenel, he’s determined to have her. But the beautiful and quick-witted Cassandra is equally determined to marry for love—the one thing he can’t give.

Everything except her . . .

Severin is the most compelling and attractive man Cassandra has ever met, even if his heart is frozen. But she has no interest in living in the fast-paced world of a ruthless man who always plays to win.

When a newfound enemy nearly destroys Cassandra’s reputation, Severin seizes the opportunity he’s been waiting for. As always, he gets what he wants—or does he? There’s one lesson Tom Severin has yet to learn from his new bride:

Never underestimate a Ravenel.

The chase for Cassandra’s hand may be over. But the chase for her heart has only just begun . . .

    I really had high expectations for this one since she’s the other twin, but it was just boring to me. Some parts were really interesting but overall, not a page turner for me.

    This is the last book of an excellent series. It’s sad to leave these characters behind. I have so enjoyed all of these books. Cassandra and Tom have a wonderful story to tell. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

  • REVELING IN DIFFERENCE

    A wonderfully written book with an ultimate message for the appreciation of the ways love shapes and embraces difference. Cassandra and Tom could not be more difference from one another - work views, ability to express feelings, and life goals. Yet, they manage to challenge each other and in the process grow and learn from each other. Tom appears to exhibit Aspergers like traits - brilliant, detailed, orderly, and struggling with social skills. Feelings for Tom are to be ignored for they cause confusion and keep him from hurting from his past rejections. It takes Cassandra and Basil (adopted son) to help him a side of himself closed off and buried. It is well worth reading - the historical setting adds clarity to the story line and brings the characters to life.

    What can I say but I loved this book hard! Tom is one of my top favorite hero’s ever!! He was perfectly imperfect in every way! Cassandra is a twin & wants to marry but is afraid her time has passed. She’s also worried about her weight seeing as she gained some and ladies have noticed. Tom is guarded with is feelings, claims he only has 5 of them, and is a ruthless businessman. When he lays his eyes on Cassandra the first time, he knows he must have her! Tom loves every curve inch that is Cassandra. Watching these two was an absolute honor! They were perfect for each other in every way! Even though Tom tried to fight his feelings almost every step of the way. Cassandra knew Tom was capable of so much more. She also loved that Tom believed she was more than a pretty face! This was a great ending to this series & I already plan to re-read this book! So really just READ this book! No disappoint here, only LOVE!

    Always love Lisa’s stories, and enjoy getting peeks at old characters to find out how their lives have progressed after their own story

  • Lacks the luster of previous books.

    The plot struggled to find traction for the first half of the novel. The stakes were low and there was no chemistry, which mirrors my feelings about West and Phoebe’s story too. Even when a plot becomes clear it lacks any real bite. I feel like the problem with this novel and the previous one is that the characters lose a lot of personality and just became “tortured souls”, which is disappointing because these characters were so beautifully developed in previous books. I would have liked to have seen Cassandra act with more assertiveness and energy. Tom was just a whiny and pretentious douche and became interchangeable with every other brooding male lead in the genre. I think it was formulaic, too. This family can’t stop adopting kids; there could have been other plot devices to explore. This novel still contains the author’s lovely prose and eye for detail, as always.
