Two men. One woman. A choice that can make her or break her. A love story you'll never forget.Liberty Jones fell in love with Hardy Cates when she was just fourteen-and-three-quarters. But at seventeen, the ambitious Hardy craves a life bigger and better than their parochial hometown of Welcome, Texas, can offer. While he's fond of Liberty and feels a responsibility to protect her, her crush is a complication he doesn't need. Yet something continues to draws Hardy and Liberty to each other, especially when she blossoms into a proper beauty. So when he chooses to follow his head and leave town, Liberty is left broken hearted. Finding herself alone, as a teenager with a young sister to raise, it seems inevitable that she will find comfort from another man. But just as she's settling into her new life and beginning to piece together forgotten family secrets, she realises she can't let go of her own past as easily as she thought...

It was cute, romantic and delightful. My favorite character was Gage. I was happily engrossed in it and when I finished, I wanted more.

I’ve never written a review of a romance novel I have such mixed feelings about. From what I gather, Lisa Kleypas is a legend in the ‘historical romance’ genre, and this is her first attempt at in the ‘contemporary’ genre so I’m willing to be a little forgiving. But there are several things in this book that made absolutely no sense to me.

When the story begins, Liberty Jones is a shy girl growing up in a trailer park in Welcome, Texas with her mother and the mother’s loser boyfriend. At this point, we’re told that Liberty’s father was Mexican and she has faced some backlash for not resembling her caucasian mother. Her mixed race heritage is brought up repeatedly throughout the book but never dealt with.

Liberty falls for bad boy Hardy Cates, who is driven by his desire to get the hell out of Welcome ASAP, even though he and Liberty have undeniable chemistry. She is heartbroken but her problems multiply thousandfold when her mother suddenly dies in a car accident and leaves her to take care of her 2-year old half-sister, Carrington. Why anyone would name a kid Carrington escapes me, but I’m going to chalk it down to a ‘Texan thing’ like the author has to excuse a lot of erratic behaviour by different people throughout the story.

At some point, I started to wonder why the series was called “Travises” considering nobody named Travis had appeared so far. But then we see Liberty move to Houston after she hustles for a couple of years and becomes a cosmetologist. Working at a top-notch salon, she meets old multimillionaire Churchill Travis, who takes a shine to her. She convinces him to get manicures and they become good friends. All this time, I’m really hoping that they don’t sleep together primarily because I’m still convinced Hardy is the hero of this tale. Liberty says he is The One enough times.

But, wait. Churchill breaks his leg and asks Liberty to become his live-in nurse. That’s when we meet Churchill’s disapproving oldest son, Gage Travis. He is the typical alpha male who charms the damsel by giving her a glimpse of his many, many flaws. He enters the story so late that for a while I was really doubtful if he was the hero. (His name’s not even mentioned in the blurb!) However, sparks fly and now Liberty and Gage enter into a romantic relationship and my dubious HEA seems within grasp.

With some 60-odd pages left in the story, Hardy reappears and Liberty’s reaction to him is so powerful, I am surprised he was not the one she ended up with. But then, there was a painfully bad industrial espionage scene and Liberty sees how Hardy has grown up to be a ruthless money-grubber. So she goes back to Gage, who was having her followed without her knowledge and who pins her down and has sex with her when she tells him that she needs a break from him. That she liked it and he apologized for it afterward, does not take away from the fact that it was rape and Gage is a stalker.

Romance is hands down my favourite genre. But justifying disturbing, violent and abusive behaviour in the name of love is not romantic. Stalking is not romantic. Sex with questionable consent is not romantic. A heartfelt apology after the fact is not a cure-all. I haven’t read any of Lisa Kleypas’ other books so I won’t make it personal, but I’d like to appeal to romance authors out there and say that love is one of the most powerful emotions a human being can experience, but it is meaningless without consent. Please keep that in mind.

The book has many other flaws and some redeeming chapters but since the aforementioned issue is so important, I will not be dealing with the rest in this post. Hopefully, Ms Kleypas’ other books are not this sickening.

Substandard laboured pornography.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 4 November 2020

When plain Joan Porkchop, seamstress, played as everything else filmed in the 21st Century by Judy Dench, is sentenced to nine long years in the foul-smelling East Timor National Penitentiary for Obscene Twinklers, C Wing, all seems lost. But friendly, camp, guard Alistair Simcard, very badly portrayed by Sir Kier Starmer develops a crush and later, a passion, for the witless mis-shapen Joan as she delivers gruel down the mines each morning for hungry Fartleberries, this being the name of the undocumented Blue Circus Faction, Constantinople style.

Unbeknownst to the pimple faced Governor of East West Timor (played by Hugh Grant), Joan and Alistair build a biplane secretly and form a daring plan to escape their sinking island using a 30hp generator stolen from the sea to power their antique bird.

What follows next will have you chortling in the aisles -- as the very future of geopolitical relations is shaken to its core -- with hilarious consequences for Judy, Simon, Kier and crooner Bob Hope who makes a cameo appearance somewhere.

3.5 STARS

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 16 February 2019

Verified Purchase

A tentative 3.5 Stars because I see myself re-reading this at some point and I overall really liked the latter half of the book, although there were moments where I was thinking what the hell is Liberty doing with Hardy when she had Gage. Her obsession for Hardy I didn't get.

A note of caution as this may annoy some - the hero (Gage) isn't introduced until about half way into the book. I wish this had been done differently and Gage emerged earlier even if it resulted in some big time angst and tension.

My first read of Kleypas' contemporary books, and overall a nice introduction it was, although her HR books are on a whole other awesome level.

don't get me wrong people I love Lisa Kleypas and I have read many of her books, but this was advertised as a romance novel, wasn't it??

I bought this book thinking it was a romance novel, but when I started reading it, there was no romance whatsoever, not even halfway through the book.

The story starts off with the main character as a kid, then a teenager, then an adult who moves to the city, but she doesn't even meet Mr Right until near the end of the book????

Not the usual style of Lisa Kleypas, her usual style in romance novels is far different to this style of story telling, although I still love her writing style, but this was advertised as a romance for adults, not a teenagers book unless I'm missing something.

I was very disappointed because Lisa Kleypas is capable of much more, I wasn't inspired to keep reading this book and sent it back for a refund because this was not what i was led to believe, in particular because there was no romance with the 'sugar daddy' until near the end of the book, and to be honest, i have no idea how it ended because the climax died after realising that there was no romance.

This book confuses me I felt like I was reading a different story from the one explained on the back of the book.

Love this series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 14 August 2020

Verified Purchase

I found this by accident many years ago because of the cover but as soon as I started reading it I couldn't put it down. Every step of this journey was spell binding. It distracts the brain and draws you into a world filled with tragedy, love laughter hardships but with that happy ending that leaves you wanting more. Lisa kleypas is a goddess of writing that keeps me enchanted and wanting more

Micky - bookphenomena

This launched me into bingeing the whole series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 5 August 2017

Verified Purchase

This was a book of two halves, a slowish first 50% with a soap opera feel. There was a lot of wordage apportioned to building Liberty's life which in truth was protracted. However, I hit 50% and it was like the flick of a switch into a different pace, style and sizzle. I loved the second half of the book and the characters that came into the book, the Travises, made it. The second half was addictive and my desire to devour it gave me a very short nights sleep. I'm hoping for more of the second half of the book in the rest of the series.
