But behind this facade lies endless heartache and pain. Lily Lawson, portrayed as a woman who can live up to anything in a man’s world (she hunts as good as any lord/marquess or whatever & gambles better than most men) and basically gets away with being notorious because she is such a daredevil.

Dreaming of You (let me take a breather here to remember Derek Craven *sighs*), I was curious to read the story of Alex and Lily who play minor secondary roles in the story. Even when I was reading book 2 of the series i.e. And in this world, where danger lurks behind every shadow, even a proper “mouse” can be transformed into a breathtaking enchantress-and a cynical gambler can be shaken to his core by the power of passion and the promise of love.My first book from Lisa Kleypas was the second and last book in the Gamblers Series where I fell in love with Lisa Kleypas’ style of writing and her vivid characters that are quite different from most of the characters portrayed in historical romances. But there is a hidden strength and sensuality to the lady that captivates him beyond his better judgment.

And now duty demands that he allow Sara Fielding to enter his perilous realm of ever-shifting fortunes-with her impeccable manners and her infuriating innocence. Derek rose from poverty to become the wealthy lord of London’s most exclusive gambling house. But now curiosity is luring her from the shelter of her country cottage into the dangerous world of Derek Craven-handsome, tough, and tenacious-and the most exciting man Sara has ever met. But will Alex’s own heart be the prize to be won in this sensuous game of love?Ī prim, well-bred gentlewoman, Sara Fielding is a writer who puts pen to paper to create dreams. The spirited miss will pay dearly for her interference-with her body, her soul, and her stubborn, unyielding heart. When Lily offers him only scorn, he counters with kindness, and he parries her blistering barbs with gentle words and a soft, tender touch. Alex has lost one bride, yet he is enchanted by this remarkable lady who is willing to break any rule to flaunt her independence. But while she succeeds outrageously, Alex is a master gamesman who is not to be undone. Reckless, wild, and beautiful, Lily Lawson delights in shocking proper London society-and now she is determined to rescue her sister from an unwanted impending marriage to the notorious Alex, Lord Raiford, by fair means or foul.
