Title: Not in the same league as Wallflowers of Hathaways
Review: I knew this was a re-release ie early Kleypas but I thought it was worth a shot anyway. It probably works fine on its own, if you don't know how great the author is now. I can't tell you how many times I've reread the Wallflowers and Hathaways series and there are plenty of her standalones that are amazing too. This story lacks the emotional connection we've come to expect from Kleypas and there's too much filler that doesn't do anything to progress the characters or story. Here and there you can see glimmers of the writer Kleypas becomes but I'm not sure it's in her best interest to re-release books that are so inferior to her current offerings. Again, in the scope of romance novels, it's good (not great). But for a Kleypas romance, it's sub-par. Better to re-read Where Dream Begin again.
