As stated in my title, this novel is what a historical romance novel should be. Lisa Kleypas created an electrifying, mild love/hate tension between the leads.
Because I find the 'getting to know one another' part as the most important aspect of a relationship, I was extremely pleased that the talented Lisa Kleypas included a believable, thorough, well-drawn out acquaintance between the hero and heroine.
And unlike other authors in this genre, LK included plenty of details after the marriage, and not only of descriptions of the marriage night. There were some serious moments in the novel, but LK alsways managed to balance them out with witty humor from the leads and from the surprisingly great secondary characters. She also managed to set up a nice lead in to the following novels in this highly entertaining series.
I also loved the possessiveness, protectiveness and sensuality of the hero against the proper, somewhat lofty heroine.
One thing I really, really loved how LK subtly expressed the hero's actual infatuation with the heroine from day one; it is well hidden under a mask of cold, harsh, arrogant exterior.
This novel had everything from the fated meeting, to the two years pursuit, to the complexity of other suitors, and finally, to a satisfying conclusion.
**Trust me, this is very much worth the reduced price of five dollars.

I really liked "It Happened One Autumn," "Then Came You," "Sugar Daddy," and "Mine til Midnight" but this book along with "Worth Any Price" were not Kleypas' best. The plots were just boring and predictable. I stopped reading them early on.

I really liked this book. It made my heart lurch a few times and everyone loves a self-made man. I save five stars for Judith McNaught's Paradise and Kleypas' Sugar Daddy, but I thought this book was very good and as usual Kleypas didn't disappoint. My only problem is now I've read all her books and have to find another author that is consistently a good read.

It was refreshing to read a Regency era romance that colors outside the lines. I'd always taken the fact that peers marry peers as sort of a rule for that period, but this book breaks the rules and does a marvelous job of it. I loved the story and really enjoyed learning some of the history of the period too, without having to wade through a lot of narrative or info dump. Expertly done.

I love the Wallflower books, they are the best that I have read, Lisa Kleypas is a wonderful writer, her stories are loving and adventurous. I cannot put them down once I have started the book.
