The risks are unthinkable… the reward, a lifetime of incomparable bliss. And it all begins with…

Marrying Mr. Winterborne

Marrying Winterborne is the second book in The Ravenels series by Lisa Kleypas. You can read this as a stand alone book, but I recommend reading the first book as you get to see how these two met and are introduced to the beginnings of their friendship. If you've read the first book, you also get to see how Devon and Kathleen are doing. I love how these two books weave together so nicely.

Helen is sweet and soft spoken, yet she surprised me in many ways when it comes to Rhys. The girl knows that she wants that's for sure. Rhys is gruff and he can be pretty ruthless in business, but you really get to know his many sides within this story. These are two you'd never imagine together, but in a weird way... they work. It was entertaining to watch them figure out how to make things work too. Like the first book, they are definitely entertaining. I'm enjoying this series much more than I expected. I'm so glad I grabbed it.
