Throw in some great character cameos (from both this series and the Wallflowers series), a touch of banter and flirtation, a moment or two of vulnerability and softness and you'll end up with the perfect combination of what I personally enjoy in a romance. The actual tale incorporates some typical historical romance tropes, but I didn't mind that all that much! It was still so fun to watch everything play out, and I was certainly entertained from start to finish. Merritt's independent nature, stubbornness and charm Keir's hardworking, kind and outdoorsy nature both of them were just so appealing, and it's unsurprising that I was invested in their romance immediately. Devil in Disguise (The Ravenels 7) by Lisa Kleypas is the much anticipated story of Lady Merritt Sterling, lately a widow and business owner. They have such similar personalities: strong-willed individuals who care deeply for those they love and will do what they believe is best to protect them. When Keir takes Merritt to bed it’s unexpected and absolutely fabulous. And her heroes are everything you want and then some. As always, her heroines are strong, independent, interesting, and likeable. In this particular case, the main couple played a large part in winning my favor, as I adored both Merritt and Keir. THE STORY: Lady Merritt Sterling, a widow, is running her husbands business when she meets Kier MacRae, a Scottish distiller. Devil in Disguise is packed with fabulous adventure, searing heat, crackling dialogue, and fantastic humour that is the staple of a Kleypas book. I really enjoyed Devil in Disguise! I don't read a ton of historical romances these days, but I can always count on Lisa Kleypas to write charming, lovely love stories that are all too easy for me to devour.
