She was the twin that always wanted to be married so why hasn\u2019t it happened to her yet. No one is piquing her interest until she meets Tom Severin.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tom Severin<\/strong> is wealthy, handsome and intelligent. He is almost like a black sheep of society. He goes to social events to maintain relationships with some of the wealthy but they haven\u2019t taken to him as he is more self made. He hasn\u2019t really taken to the social norms. He is eccentric and odd to say the least. I kept wondering if he was on the spectrum.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tom and Cassandra\u2019s relationship is more of a slow burn compared to the other couples in this series. Tom has to really convince Cassandra that he wants her but she thinks that he is not capable of the emotions required to be a husband. He states he only has five emotions and love is not one of them.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They have some of the best banter in the entire series. I actually found them to be amazing together. While this book is not as sexy as the other, it is so sensual. The contract scene is the perfect example. I loved it!!! So good. I read it more than once \uf04a. When the real negotiations started, I found myself too tickled by them.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Outside of their relationship, Tom has to convince West and Devon that he really wants Cassandra. Devon is so adamant about keeping his friend away from her. I couldn\u2019t even understand why they didn\u2019t think Tom was suitable when they caught them together so many times. It was great to see peeks of the other characters from the previous books.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The story is well written as usual and a sweet romance of two opposites who find out that they belong together.<\/p><p><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_eb0616c customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2OYHx7p\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/chasing-cassandra\/id1465581952?mt=11&amp;app=itunes&amp;at=11l88k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/chasing-cassandra-lisa-kleypas\/1132291816?ean=9780062371959#\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/chasing-cassandra\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Lisa_Kleypas_Chasing_Cassandra?id=7T2aDwAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everything has a price . . .

Anything\u2014or anyone\u2014is his for the asking. It should be simple to find the perfect wife\u2014and from his first glimpse of Lady Cassandra Ravenel, he\u2019s determined to have her. But the beautiful and quick-witted Cassandra is equally determined to marry for love\u2014the one thing he can\u2019t give.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><strong>Everything except her . . .<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Severin is the most compelling and attractive man Cassandra has ever met, even if his heart is frozen. But she has no interest in living in the fast-paced world of a ruthless man who always plays to win.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When a newfound enemy nearly destroys Cassandra\u2019s reputation, Severin seizes the opportunity he\u2019s been waiting for. As always, he gets what he wants\u2014or does he? There\u2019s one lesson Tom Severin has yet to learn from his new bride:<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Never underestimate a Ravenel.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The chase for Cassandra\u2019s hand may be over. But the chase for her heart has only just begun . . .<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/4-hearts.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"170\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Feb 18, 2019<br \/><strong>Series:<\/strong>\u00a0<em>The Ravenels<br \/><\/em><strong>Book: <\/strong>6<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong>\u00a0Hot<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0HarperCollins<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong> Avon Books<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $6.99<\/p><hr \/><p>\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Cassandra Ravel<\/strong> is feeling anxious now that her twin sister, Pandora, has gotten married. She was the twin that always wanted to be married so why hasn\u2019t it happened to her yet. No one is piquing her interest until she meets Tom Severin.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tom Severin<\/strong> is wealthy, handsome and intelligent. He is almost like a black sheep of society. He goes to social events to maintain relationships with some of the wealthy but they haven\u2019t taken to him as he is more self made. He hasn\u2019t really taken to the social norms. He is eccentric and odd to say the least. I kept wondering if he was on the spectrum.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tom and Cassandra\u2019s relationship is more of a slow burn compared to the other couples in this series. Tom has to really convince Cassandra that he wants her but she thinks that he is not capable of the emotions required to be a husband. He states he only has five emotions and love is not one of them.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They have some of the best banter in the entire series. I actually found them to be amazing together. While this book is not as sexy as the other, it is so sensual. The contract scene is the perfect example. I loved it!!! So good. I read it more than once \uf04a. When the real negotiations started, I found myself too tickled by them.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Outside of their relationship, Tom has to convince West and Devon that he really wants Cassandra. Devon is so adamant about keeping his friend away from her. I couldn\u2019t even understand why they didn\u2019t think Tom was suitable when they caught them together so many times. It was great to see peeks of the other characters from the previous books.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The story is well written as usual and a sweet romance of two opposites who find out that they belong together.<\/p><p><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2OYHx7p\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/chasing-cassandra\/id1465581952?mt=11&amp;app=itunes&amp;at=11l88k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/chasing-cassandra-lisa-kleypas\/1132291816?ean=9780062371959#\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/chasing-cassandra\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Lisa_Kleypas_Chasing_Cassandra?id=7T2aDwAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25160","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25160"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25160\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25160"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25160"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
