Lisa Kleypas is a great writer. Her novels are beautifully romantic, her characters heart-wrenchingly lovable, the dialogue tummy-twisting eloquent, the plot-twists page-turningly suspenseful. In yet another Hathaway book, the author brings out another love story not only to life, but also to perfection. 
 I've always loved Leo. He's sarcastic, mean, but not devoid of a loyal, caring streak within him. The witty banter between him and Catherine - woah! Do sparks fly then! - is fantastic and hilarious. I would be jealous of Cat if it weren't for the complete awareness of the fact that Cat is literally THE perfect match for Leo. And I am even more aware of the fact that I can never be anything like Cat. She's mysterious, articulate, strong-willed, beautiful, and has a dark past. Heck, I'm not even going to comment on my (lack of) the first four qualities mentioned, and the only thing "dark" about me and my past would be my hair-colour. Nevermind. They suit each other. Although halfway through the book I was already to feel rather ....envious, so to speak. 
 Then I reached the "Spread Eagle Inn". And my envy never surfaced ever again. 
 To tell the truth, I never liked reading details of fornication in novels. If I had the authority, it would be a crime. I think that with the PDA and romance, the book is sweet enough. More details of what happens IN the bedroom sends the whole book spiralling down the stairs. (Feel free to disagree with me though.) And Kleypas gives the most morbid, vivid details that my eyes literally BURN when I accidentally read bits of it when I skip too little text on the "sacred" parts. 
 If my eyes doth not deceive me, whatever tiny fragments I've read (I swear! I didn't read the whole thing! I wouldn't read ANY part of it if I could help it! Really!), Leo's as wild and mean in the bedroom as he is in dealing with Cat. Oh, the horror. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse in the Hathaway series. 
 The only reason I put up with such eyesore is because Kleypas is a great writer. Overlooking such parts of the book (not an easy thing to do), the plot, the development, the chemistry, everything's penned so well. In my experience, of all adult romance writers, I believe that Kleypas is one of the best. 
 Here is a guide to skipping the fornicating sections (WARNING: this is, unfortunately, not foolproof. I am working on it). 
 Skip the page when the male and female lead: 
 1. Are alone in the same room. 
 2. Are alone in the same bedroom 
 3. Book only one room at an inn or hotel 
 4. Start arguing passionately 
 5. End up against a wall 
 6. Start crying (at least one of them) 
 Feel even more free to add to the list. Please.
