So many times a story comes to our mind although we remember that story still it fails to impress our mind in a dominant way. This happens when the author has left certain kinds of flaws here and there. Lisa Kleypas does not leave that kind of weak spot as in her stories there is love, rivalry, and hotness of passion. Marrying Winterborne became a prime example of all these things long ago and then the author provided the fans with another masterpiece in the shape of Cold-Hearted Rake.
Don’t ever think that Lisa will provide you with a less impressive book because the author is an expert storyteller and she knows how to capture the attention of people belonging to all age groups. This is a battle between two individuals whose body and heart are forcing them to embrace each other but their mind is coming in the way.
It’s Lily Lawson whose character Rosalyn Landor narrates first of all. Lily is stubborn and she likes to lead life according to her own will. She is not the one who can be tamed rather she has a habit of controlling the life of other people present close to her as well. When her younger sister tells her that she wants to marry the handsome lord named Alex, the thing gets rejected by Lily right away. Lily does not want her sister to marry a man who is not permanent in his habits.
This makes Alex infuriated and at the same time his heart makes Lily his next target. From the inside, Lily too has a passion for Alex but she does not want to show it in order to keep her stubborn personality intact.
