Dreaming of You Description:
Dreaming of You review: 5 stars (Best of Lisa Kleypas) - Advice: Read "Then Came You" first. Derek Craven is introduced in that book, and while you don't have to read it to enjoy "Dreaming of You", the books do intertwine quite a bit.
DOY is, by far, the best romance I have ever read and is Lisa Kleypas' best.
Sara Fielding is adorable (I loved her from the first page) and Derek Craven is pure heat. Together, they are a most unforgettable couple - literally. This book will stay with you for days after you're done reading it, if not weeks.
5 stars (Passionate love story) - Ok, I admit that on second thought there are quite a few suspension of beliefs that must be made on the reader's part. For example, Derek's bent on not having Sara was frustrating after awhile. However, I believe I (and the other's who rave about this book)like this novel so much because I really felt the passion of Derek for Sara. He really is the one you fall in love with here. I have rarely felt the heartbreak of a character as I did Derek's. I rather feel inclined to compare it to Jane Eyre for some reason - it has it's plot stretches, but you don't really care (the writing style and plot is of course completely different from Jane Eyre). There is a lot more steamy sex scenes as well (very good ones I might add).
This is definitely a darker romance though. The hero truly is scarred.
Bottom line: I would definitely recommend "Dreaming of You."
5 stars (Loved It!!!) - Dreaming Of You is my absolute favorite romance novel. I've read so many books by Lisa Kleypas, but this one is just simply the best. Derek is my favorite hero out of her books, he's just so hot! And Sara was perfect for Derek, they make such a good couple. This book deserves a 10!!
