Chasing Cassandra
(The Ravenels #6). By Lisa
Kleypas. 2020. Avon (ARC eBook).
A brilliant and
wealthy railway magnate, Tom Severin is calculating and ruthless in
his business dealings. And he has his mind set to approach marriage
in the same fashion. After all, in his mathematical brain, love just
doesn’t compute. But when he attends the wedding of Pandora Ravenel
to Gabriel St. Vincent, he meets Cassandra Ravenel and is besotted by
her beauty. Seeing a challenge, Tom sets out to contract himself a
wife.
As Cassandra begins
her second season, she is saddened by the loss of her twin Pandora by
her side and unsettled by the intrigue Tom stirs in her. She has
always dreamed of finding love, so why is she considering a marriage
that is promised to be advantageous, but never a love match?
Tom and Cassandra
are delightful surprises. Both have been a part of the series since
the beginning, but Cassandra was the quieter and more introspective
of the three sisters; and unlike, West, who we got to see matures and
transform into a worthy hero, Tom remained callous in business and
friendship alike. But as the two spend more time together,
Cassandra’s inquisitiveness about Tom’s work begins to endear her
to him and her patience buys him time to explore and act upon the
depth of his emotions until others begin to see what she does; that
Tom Severin has a compassionate heart. In addition, we get a
ridiculous contract, an adorable orphan named Bazzel, and playful and
insightful pop ins from the assorted Ravenel/in-law bunch.
Kleypas is masterful
as always and the romance never fails to take center stage. If you
like stories about finding love where you least expect it, pick up
this book, along with books #1-5!
