Editorial Review (from Amazon.com)
The New York Times bestselling author of Sugar Daddy is back with her most breathtaking, hot-and-bothered novel yet!
MEET THE BLUE-EYED DEVIL
His name is Hardy Cates. He’s a self-made millionaire who comes from the wrong side of the tracks. He’s made enemies in the rough-and-tumble ride to the top of Houston’s oil industry. He’s got hot blood in his veins. And vengeance on his mind.
MEET THE HEIRESS
She’s Haven Travis. Despite her family’s money, she refuses to set out on the path they’ve chosen for her. But when Haven marries a man her family disapproves of, her life is set on a new and dangerous course. Two years later, Haven comes home, determined to guard her heart. And Hardy Cates, a family enemy, is the last person she needs darkening her door or setting her soul on fire.
WATCH THE SPARKS FLY. . . .
Filled with Lisa Kleypas’s trademark sensuality, filled with characters you love to hate and men you love to love, Blue-Eyed Devil will hold you captive in its storytelling power as the destiny of two people unfolds with every magical word.

J. Kaye Oldner thinks this book is Bad.
BLUE-EYED DEVIL picks up almost exactly where SUGAR DADDY left off, which I’d read last year. I fell in love with the author, the writing style, and the love story of Gage and Liberty who in BLUE-EYED DEVIL have a son. All is well in their world and now it’s time for Hardy. This is a character I loved and was tickled pink he’d fine love at last. I would have enjoyed it too, but the book totally fell apart.
Kleypas’s slant on abuse added realism, while educating the public. Some readers might find this fascinating. Since I read almost as much nonfiction as fiction, I don’t feel a need for a lesson with my fiction.
Prior to BLUE-EYED DEVIL, I’d formed an emotional attachment to Hardy. It was the book’s lack of realism in other areas that caused me to lose that connection. Things like Vanessa, Hardy, and Haven at The Harrisburg. The dialog for the whole scene was off. Haven accepting to help Hardy by giving her opinion about his new apartment design wasn’t believable. Then there was the elevator scene. I didn’t believe the wall could collapse or the dialog. Bottom line, the dialog was too off for me to enjoy.
Although the characters were well defined, the dialog was lacking. Another negative was the first part of the book. It was a wasteland, totally barren. On the plus side, the plot was interesting. If more realism had been added along with good dialog, the book would have been rock-on solid.
Please know that I am a minority in my views of this book. Everyone else I have spoken to didn’t feel as cheated. In fact, some have voted it the best book of the year. So take my opinion as just that, an opinion and by some, a bad one.
