5.0 out of 5 stars
Enjoyable!,
By Saki (Manila, Philippines) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Only in Your Arms (Mass Market Paperback)
I thought that this book was rather good, and I liked the 'mysterious plot' regarding the murder of Max's wife, which was successfully incorporated into the over-all scheme...Lisa Kleypas is talented enough to merge this in such a way that it does not eclipse the romance.There are a lot* of steamy scenes between the couple but they are perfectly suited to each other, and I liked them from the beginning. Lysette is innocent and sweet and she is the perfect foil for Max's darkness and cynicism. One of the nicest things I like about this novel is the effect the heroine has on her soulmate...his harsh disillusionment lessens when he falls in love with her, yet he still remains strong and solid, an intrinsic value I love in the heroes of this genre. This is, perhaps, my favorite among Kleypas books...and I hope to experience more like it.

One of Lisa Kleypas' best books,
By A Customer
This review is from: Only in Your Arms (Mass Market Paperback)
I have bought and read practically all of Ms. Kleypas' books, at least whatever were available in the bookstores in Boston. Only In Your Arms is truly wonderful primarily because it is the first book of the author I've read that is set in the US. But what makes the book remarkable is the story and the main characters, Maximillien Vallerand and Lysette Kersaint. Their love develops in the most unusual circumstance and its strength tested in the most trying times. The concept of family unity and love is also one of the story's strong points. Though set in the early 1800s, a lot of us in the 20th century could still identify with the characters in the story. The romantic scenes...well, I had to read them twice, three times! Lucky Lysette, for having such a romantic, protective husband, a real "knight in shining armor." Now I can't wait to read this book's sequel, "Only With Your Dreams." I can only hope my order comes soon!!

Only In Your Arms,
This review is from: Only in Your Arms (Mass Market Paperback)
One of my favorites by Lisa Kleypas. Although I didn't like Max at the beginning, his dark, smoldering character got me at the end. The book is, as usual, full of passionate scenes and emotional twists.I liked Lysette from the beginning, and I found her very endearing and a bit too head-strong at times. Max and Lysette's relationship started as a means to avenge a scandalous past, but it turned into a loving and equal in power at the end. A must read! The back cover reads: "Ravishing and desperate Lysette Kersaint flees and impending marriage to a man she hates to seek sanctuary with a man she fears. For rumors abound throughout New Orleans concerning her handsome, brooding protector, Maximilien Vallerand--whispers of his cruelty, his rages, his dark, mysterious past. Forced by circumstance, Lysette consents to wed the dangerous rake, becoming the unwitting instrument of his sworn vengeance. But the flame-haired beauty's innocent heart will awaken within him a soul of passion and poetry...and spawn a love magnificent, wild, and true." To read about Justin Vellarand, don't miss ONLY WITH YOUR LOVE, which isn't as great as ONLY IN YOUR ARMS, but good, nevertheless. S.
