Az ördög télen by Lisa Kleypas

loesje_kr's review against another edition

Characterization of Cam felt icky and outdated. Also there was an iffy consent scene that within the context of the story wasn't iffy but the dialogue told a different story. Thus, no rating.

My favorite period romance book. I've read this one several times and I'll keep reading it.

Cam was clearly the best character in this book and I won’t rest until he gets his own book

Muy buen libro, algo diferente a los anteriores de esta serie. Diría que este es quizás el mas serio y dramático de los tres que he leído hasta el momento de la saga Wallflowers.

Evie y St. Vincent hacen una pareja tierna, me gusto mucho verlos evolucionar, mas que nada a el que era un casanova incorregible. Ambos tienen un pasado difícil y muchas trabas que superar.

Este libro tiene algo de comedia, pero muy poca en comparación con el anterior. Aunque tampoco le hizo falta, la historia brillo sin necesidad de risas.

Es romántica a un estilo clásico donde hay mucho drama y los personajes tienen que madurar para convertirse en seres mejores.

Recomendado.

I didn't think Sebastian could be redeemed after the last book but I was pleasantly surprised! Also all that hurt/comfort was just -chefkiss-

I can see why people say this is the best in the series. It's got it's problematic bullshit (like, do we really need to redeem the guy who kidnapped and threatened to rape a girl a week ago?), but this is a big improvement on the previous books. 

I felt in the first two of the series that Kleypas was great at scenes, not so great at overarching plots, and this one is a lot stronger on that front. There are actual stakes and consequences and foreshadowing! Evie doesn't immediately love her husband and actually has to see him make changes in his life before she cares for him! St. Vincent gets to have internal conflict and be a flawed human instead of a cardboard villain! The actual villain is tragic and has pathos!

The "rake reformed by the love of a woman" is so common in this genre, but this is at least a well-executed take on the trope.
