One of my favorite Kleypas books ever. Gabriel is so close to being too perfect, but he keeps just enough wickedness. Pandora is a charming heroine. There is some compelling real history here about feminism at its roots and the terrible state of women's legal rights in the 19th century, and some silly trivia that made me laugh. (Who knew "katzenjammer" meant "hangover" in old German slang?!) Also, for those who loved Devil in Winter we get to check in about 30 years later on one of my favorite couples! Delightful.
