Where Dreams Begin by Lisa Kleypas

Rating: 5!!!!!!!!!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥

synopsis:

Zachary Bronson has built an empire of wealth and power—now he needed a wife to help secure his position in society...and warm his bed in private. But not just any woman will do for a man whom all of London knows is not a gentleman. Then he unexpectedly swept Lady Holly Taylor into his arms for an unasked for—but very alluring—kiss, and suddenly he knew he had found a woman whose fierce passions matched his own.

Lady Holly Taylor was beautiful, generous, and, as a widow, destined to spend her life playing by society's rules, even when they went against her bolder instincts. But Zachary's kiss had aroused her, and though the shocking offer he made didn't include marriage, she was compelled to risk everything and follow him to the place where dreams begin.

Review: HERE!! Here is my rough, brutish, ill-mannered Tarzan hero (see previous review)!!! How I loved him. Adored. It's books like this that set my standards so high. Why can't all heroes be like this one??? I found Zachary Bronson absolutely wonderful -- he's rough, he's ill-mannered, he's totally and un-apologetically wicked. I found him utterly delightful and charming. Call me crazy. Allow me to gush further: I was literally captivated by this story from the first and it wove me into it's delightful spell until I turned the last page. When Zachary kissed her and she started crying.... sigh. I cried for Holly and all that she had to go through to find happiness again. I loved the way he loved her. It was perfect. And her daughter and her button string! So sweet and adorable. I have to say it: Zachary Bronson in all his brutish, arrogant glory just marched up to Nick Gentry and booted him off of my most favorite Kleypas hero of all time throne. Best book I read all year, hands down.
