A strong, spirited woman who refuses to be tied down finds her wild heart caught between two very different men in this sweeping novel from legendary bestselling author Lisa Kleypas

Liberty Jones dreams of the wider world beyond Welcome, Texas, and has the determination to find it. She also has an untamed heart that leads her into trouble . . . and into the arms of Hardy Cates. Liberty is forbidden fruit Hardy knows he shouldn't taste. He's got ambitions and Liberty is a complication he doesn't want. But neither can deny the attraction between them, a fire that's both magical and dangerous.

Then Hardy is gone. Raising the young sister who needs her and tending her bruised heart, Liberty is vulnerable to the charms of a billionaire tycoon. Everyone thinks Liberty has found a Sugar Daddy, but the bond they share goes deep, and leads her to discover secrets about her family and the past.

Two very different men. One spirited woman. True love or heartache. The choice is Liberty's to make . . .

I'm not really much of a Romance reader anymore, but I did really enjoy several Kleypas' historical romances. This book did not have the charm of those, nor did I find any of the characters especially compelling enough to keep on after I met my minimum 20 minutes of audio.

Audiobook on CD, borrowed from my public library. The performance (and Texan accent) by Jeannie Stith was uneven, and the audio quality was poor, although that might reflect the age of the recording and the quality of the CDs, TBF.

DNF after 20 minutes. ( )

Visto che Lisa Kleypas è una delle regine del romance e aveva ricevuto ottime recensioni da persone del cui giudizio mi fido, mi sono detta che potevo provare a leggere qualcosa di suo. A darmi coraggio c'era altresì la sensazione da parte mia che fosse un romance di quelli innocui, una favola dove la lei, dopo mille vicissitudini, trova il suo lui.

A questo punto della recensione mi verrebbe da scrivere un'espressione volgare capace di riassumere molto bene quelle che sono state le mie sensazioni a fine lettura, ma eviterò e cercherò di essere più elegante.

Sugar Daddy, in effetti, non è iniziato sotto i migliori auspici. Era piuttosto noioso: la pulzella in pericolo viene salvata dall'aitante giovanotto scalcagnato e da allora lei lo guarda con occhi da triglia lessa. Lui ovviamente fa il prezioso, raccontandole un sacco di balle sul “non possiamo stare insieme”. Bla, bla, bla.

Mi stavo già fustigando mentalmente per aver deciso, ancora una volta, di leggermi una lagna di romance, quando il romanzo ha cambiato registro ed è diventato una storia sull'American dream. Per carità, anche di questo ne abbiamo letto in lungo e in largo, ma ha fatto rientrare Sugar Daddy nei ranghi, quindi non avevo certo intenzione di lamentarmene.

Purtroppo, però, sul finale siamo tornati alle solite. Liberty, la protagonista, è scialba all'ennesima potenza: nonostante tutto quello che la Kleypas le fa passare, rimane la stessa dall'inizio alla fine del libro. Ma quel che è peggio avviene quando ha inizio la storia d'amore: il suo unico ruolo diventa quello di oggetto da piazzare accanto all'uomo che riuscirà ad averla. Infatti, i due contendenti le saltano addosso senza che lei opponga alcun tipo di resistenza. Mi ha fatto talmente schifo che sono andata a vedere l'anno di pubblicazione di questo romanzo: duemilasette.

Seriamente? Ma vi pare normale che, dopo anni e anni di assenza, la prima cosa che faccia il tizio della vostra prima cotta adolescenziale sia saltarvi addosso e ficcarvi la lingua in gola? O è forse normale che l'altro la tratti come una donna incapace di intendere e di volere e quindi come un animaletto domestico? Per non parlare poi di tutta la faccenda dello sugar daddy, che è una cosa tanto carina, dai, provala anche tu! Meh!

Per quanto mi riguarda, non ci siamo: se questo è il tenore dei libri di Lisa Kleypas, per me finisce qui. ( )

Interesting. I read the other two books before I read this one and from those I thought the conflict between Liberty and Hardy would be more pronounced.

Liberty Jones alberga sueños y tiene una gran determinación. Esto la llevará lejos de Welcome, Texas... si consigue que su mente no se deje dominar por su apasionado corazón. En cuanto a Hardy Cates, también sus ambiciones van mucho más allá de Welcome, y Liberty constituye una complicación que no necesita. Sin embargo, algo más fuerte que ellos mismos los atrae intensamente... Cuando Hardy se marcha de la ciudad para intentar alcanzar sus objetivos, la vida de Liberty sufre un cambio radical, un cambio que la llevará a conocer a un hombre mayor que ella, poderoso y protector. Y también a descubrir secretos de su propia familia...Dos hombres. Una mujer. Una elección que puede salvar a ésta o hundirla.

I came to this book with some reservations because of the title, but ended up really liking it. In the beginning, when Liberty meets Hardy, I found some of the descriptions of her feelings for him to be so intense I had to put the book down and come back to it later. The overall plot outside of the love story was probably only a 4/5, but that sometimes happens. All-in-all, a very enjoyable book, and I really loved the heroine. ( )
