And Tom ever missing the point of the novels Cassandra recommends to him are quite fun.
Later the scenes with Basil and his refusal to bathe will keep you chuckling. There are some wonderful scenes throughout the book, but I thoroughly enjoyed Cassandra joining Tom on the kitchen floor as he repairs a broken boiler, asking questions and showing interest in his talents. But Cassandra wants more and refuses Tom’s offer. He knows he can never love Cassandra, but he can make her happy and give her her every heart’s desire. However, Tom doesn’t feel much, having only five feelings he’s had to deal with all his life – the ones he allows himself to feel – since he got through his horrible childhood and is now a self-made man. The meeting between Cassandra and Tom Severin, a commoner, is delightfully done with Tom’s assurance he will marry her. She’s headed into her second season, and things aren’t looking too terrific for her to find love. Lady Cassandra Ravenel has just wished her twin sister a happy honeymoon and is now lamenting the hope she may find someone who will love her just as the rest of her family has found. In this last book of the Ravenel series, while Tom is not my favorite hero, I did so enjoy watching him slowly but surely realize what he’s always believed about himself is nowhere near the truth. While her Travis family books are still some of my favorites, I find myself captivated every so much by her historical romances. At that time I thought she couldn’t get any better. In fact, I discovered her by reading her contemporaries first. I’m one of those who found Lisa Kleypas quite late in my years of romance reading.

"I hope you're never going to be a father," West said sincerely. Everyone knows the meek won't really inherit the earth. Personally, I've always seen more advantage in being bad.
And if the children you raise turn out badly, that's their business, isn't it? They'll decide for themselves whether or not they want to be good. If I were in your situation, for example, I would marry the woman I wanted and not worry about what was best for her.
"I have feelings too, but I never let them turn into obstacles. "Do you mean that unlike you, I have them?" West paused with a crystal glass of brandy close to his lips. "I'll tell you what your problem is," Severin eventually said. And although he could be frequently disloyal or dishonorable, he was never dishonest. “As they talked, West reflected privately that he knew exactly why people confided in Tom Severin, who never muddled an issue with moralizing or judgements, and never tried to change your opinions or talk you out of wanting something.
