![]() ![]() This is less a review and more a musing (moderate rant? mild diatribe?) on a minor character.Įlla Varner is happily living in Austin with her boyfriend Dane trying to be a vegan to make him happy and planning on never getting married or having children. As I was thinking about it, I remembered that I’ve always felt like Kleypas was trying to make a point with Dane, the ex-boyfriend, and maybe there’s a better message to be taken than the one she was trying to deliver. I reviewed it a few years ago (I was clearly working through some issues, specifically my grandmother had just died and I have some big unresolved feelings about my maternal grandmother). This year, the Kleypas conversation got into her contemporaries and I was reminded that I have a love/hate relationship with Jack Travis in Smooth Talking Stranger. ![]() And I’m not going to refresh my memory anytime soon, because it takes a lot to get me to read a historical romance these days. The Fated Mates podcast celebrates Derek Craven Day every February, and it’s been so long since I read Dreaming of You that I don’t remember why he was so great. ![]() A conversation elsewhere got me thinking about one of my original autobuy romance authors, Lisa Kleypas. ![]()
