I've always had a soft spot for Kleypas novels. But I've never really liked her contemporary romance novels for some reason. To me, this book is short of chick-lit material (I hate chick-lit by the way). 
 Maybe the problem lies in the way she uses the first person narrative rather than her usual third person narrative. For the latter, readers are always aware of what the male protagonist is thinking, and his reasons for falling head-over-heels in love over the female protagonist (Kleypas surely can come up with really good ones, I always tend to ignore the good points in the girl's character all the time). But with the first person narrative, as we get first-class passes for full access to what the female lead is thinking, I tend to find the female lead thinking/talking a tad TOO much for my liking. The way the girl (supposedly) humbly downplays herself makes me think "Why the hell is that swoon-worthy, fantastic, flawless hottie with this girl?!" 
 Furthermore, the guy always saves the girl for some reason. It's as if that the girl has been stuck with the guy's tracker or something. When the girl's in trouble, *poof* and there you go ladies and gentlemen! Magician Kleypas has procured hottie from thin air! It's fustrating. There are a tonne of people to choose from to do the "dirty work". No harm letting a side character come into the spotlight, is there? 
 Contemporary romance from Kleypas also grants her access to flaunt her knowledge on, carnal activities in her book. Maybe in the past, virginity was precious, as mentioned in a lot of her novels, but not so much in the present. if I thought I've read the sickest of her novels before, I was wrong (but mind you, my threshold is very very low). 
 - There you go, chick-lit. Perfect guy, troubled but somehow uncomprehendingly perfect girl, making- out sessions. Now where have I seen this before? 
 I liked Kleypas's take on domestic abuse though. It was like reading a WWE match. But I think she recycled some parts of her sub-plots (readers of Where Dreams Begin should understand). 
 On the whole, entertaining, but not memorable.
