Being Spaz-tacular & BLUE EYED DEVIL

Posted by : K 7/20/11

So I'm a spaz and on top of that I'm excruciatingly unorganized at times. Not to mention fickle. I've decided to stop trying to conform myself into something that other's would approve and instead take my own advice and just be me. So That being said lets move on towards happier pastures. I have just finished reading a book called "Blue Eyed Devil" written by Lisa Kleypas. And I loved it. Granted I did skip a couple pages (like I always do) but it was a good story and one that I will definitely re-read.

Blurb From Amazon : Scenes of domestic abuse and the journey to recovery make Kleypas's modern romance anything but fluff. A Wellesley grad and daughter of a Houston energy baron, Haven Travis is an unlikely romantic heroine until her brief but ardent encounter with a man who turns out to be Hardy Cates, the East Texas roughneck from Sugar Daddy who worked his way up from poverty and then outmaneuvered the Travis clan in a business deal. Haven's engaged to Nick Tanner—a man her dad thinks is unfit for her—and though she and Hardy have a charged interaction, she elopes with Nick, and her father cuts her off. Nick turns out to be a bad guy, and a beaten and bruised Haven returns to Houston, where Hardy's still at odds with her family. Their passion proves as fervent as ever, but demons from Haven's recent past—as well as strife with her family and troubles at work and in bed—stand in the way. Kleypas isn't a literary stylist, but she delivers a page-turning, formula-breaking romance that takes on social issues and escalates passion to new heights.
