Lightning review at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books 
 Marrying Winterborne was a little bit of a disappointment because I expect SO MUCH from a Kleypas novel, but somehow also compulsively readable. It's the direct sequel to Cold-Hearted Rake and best read after that book in order to provide context. 
 Whenever I read conflict about a how a heroine cannot handle the hero's mighty wang, I roll my eyes. Women routinely bleed from their lady parts while enduring menstrual migraines, cramping that feels like two badgers in a death battle in their womb, and period related bowel issues. They also push human beings out of their vaginas. Your penis better watch out sir; my lady parts are bad ass. Look upon my vagina, ye mighty, and despair! 
 That said, I still couldn't put this book down. It's that Kleypas Magic-Crack-Writing. And the descriptions of Winterborne's department store are fascinating. Oh, and he has a badass lady secretary (think Chief Operations Officer in reality) and a badass lady doctor working for him. I didn't hate this book-I just wanted more.
