About this audiobook

The toast of the town...

All London is at Julia Wentworth's feet - and anything she desires is hers for the asking. But the glamorous leading lady guards a shocking secret: a mystery husband whom she does not know, dares not mention...and cannot love.

For years Damon Savage has been searching for the
stranger his parents wed him to without his consent, hoping to legally free himself from matrimony's invisible chains.

And he is astonished to discover his "bride" is none other than the exquisite lady he'd hoped to make his mistress! But though his wife by law, Julia will never truly be Damon's - until he conquers her fears, his formidable rivals...and her proud, passionate, and independent heart.

    3.5 stars - overall I did enjoy this book it just wasn’t as good as other Kleypas novels. But the plot was likeable enough with decent characters.

    An early Kleypas historical, it's the story of an aristocratic young woman, Julia Wentworth, who disguises herself and becomes an actress in London. Secretly she is married to a handsome duke, Damon Savage, who doesn't know who she really is. Their marriage was arranged when they were children and they haven't seen each other in years - they don't even recognize each other! There is a lot of drama (no pun intended) and back story in regard to Julia's career leading up to when she and Damon finally come together and fall in love - yet, all the while, he still doesn't realize she is really his wife! Eventually he finds out the truth but the big deal is will he require that she leave the stage and her career? He's so controlling and he keeps on calling her "mine", it was borderline annoying. Still I thought this was pretty good for an early Kleypas and I am interested in seeing what happens with her boss, Logan Scott's story in the next book in the series. On audio, well done by Rosalyn Landor, as always.

    This is not one of Kleypas's best books, although it is still completely readable. While the main characters are good enough - although maybe not entirely interesting - I found myself interested more by Logan Scott - who to me was a far more interesting character than Damon. Kleypas does a lot more "telling" than "showing" - which I see as a fault - and I think she has Julia give in to Damon too quickly. It seems that one moment she's convinced she can't marry him, and then switches her opinion in an instant. I would have liked to see that better developed. Still, all in all, not a bad read.

    This is a mediocre LK, which is still better than 90% of the HR books out there. I liked Julia and Damon, but neither of them really grabbed me, and the way their romance played out was all rather predictable. Logan Scott, the theatre impressario, is intriguing, though, and I think I'll read the next book in the series, where he finally meets his match.

    I'm in shock: I did not like it! That is to say, not as much as all the other LK books I've read. The plot was okay and the style was just as good as always. I think it's mainly because of Damon - I just couldn't like him and had no idea why he - suddenly it seems - decided he loved Julia. I don't believe in a HEA for them at all. I'm almost waiting for him to leave her or ask her to give up the theatre after all.

    First 10% is them falling in love, the rest is her saying no to him because of her fear of being conteoled. The book is written well but the heroine is so stubborn, sometimes ai wished that someone would slap some sense into her.

    April 10, 2014THE KISSI am not going to write a review for the Kathleen E. Woodiwiss story. I am posting this so those that might read this review will know that THE KISS is the first part of the prelude to A SEASON BEYOND A KISS. The second part of the prelude is BEYOND THE KISS. If you have any plans to read A SEASON BEYOND A KISS then you definitely should read the two prelude stories. These stories are about Jeff Birmingham, Brandon's brother from A FLAME AND A FLOWER.PROMISESThis is probably not going to be a very long review. It is hard to write a good review for such a short story. The characters always seem a little shallow in a novella. It is hard to get to know them and for them to develop a relationship with so few pages. Maybe that is why Eric De Gray and Lidina Acland aren't as wonderful as some of Ms. Kleypas's other characters. The story is a good story but it could have been great with a few more words. There would have been great potential for developing the villain into a really nasty man. Ms. Kleypas does do a pretty good job of making Chance Spencer look like most young woman’s worst nightmare. He is an arrogant, self-centered, misogynist. Eric gives him the thrashing that he deserves.Eric De Gray is a caring, loving son and brother. He suffers from survivor’s guilt after losing his brother in a hunting accident. He has become a serious man that takes his responsibilities for his family very seriously.Lidina Acland has taken on the management of the estate her father left. His death hit both her mother and Lidina very hard. Lidina is a little naive and a little too trusting. She has never been courted and has few friends she could talk to about life and men. She is kind and serious and intelligent.There are several love stories going on in these few pages. It might have been better to just have concentrated on one and written the other at another time. This story is worth the time to read even if it is just to get a taste of Ms. Kleypas's talent for telling a good story that will keep you turning the pages to get to the end.

    This historical romance had a good plot and plenty of action. The story had the right amount of angst between the main characters as they struggled against the customs of that time. Now famous actress Julie had left home because her father married her to Lord Damon when she was a child for his title in exchange for her dowry.

    Ugh. Had to force myself to finish this one, and I'm not even sure why I did, except that then it'd be over with. Absolutely nothing that the characters did or said made any sense to me in the end. I've really enjoyed many of Kleypas's later books, but this one just did nothing for me.

    4/5
    In "Somewhere I'll Find You" Kleypas cuts down on thrills and focuses on carefully setting up the advance-and-retreat of the romance between Julia and Damon.

    In fact, she does such a good job of it that she doesn't have to fall back on the premise from which the novel begins: that Julia and Damon are already married. Rather than using that hook to lasso them together, by the time Julia and Damon recognize one another as husband and wife their relationship continues to develop with a momentum of its own.

    Julia is wonderful and vivacious. Damon was not a very well-defined hero, in my opinion; a little wooden. I never felt like I knew him well or understood him thoroughly. This is problematic because Kleypas devotes quite a bit of space in this novel to setting up the sequel, and the character of its hero Logan Scott is compelling and believable in a way that Damon isn't.

    Still, this is a better-than-average Kleypas, and Kleypas is always a cut above the rest in romance. It's worth a read.

    I unfortunately read this one after Because You're Mine, the second in the series, but I enjoyed it all the same. I LOVE these books involving London’s theatre scene in the nineteenth century. It seems the general consensus is Lisa Kleypas’ later books are better – I won’t argue either way – but for me, anything involving the theatre is going to capture my interest. This book has an original idea in that the heroine struggles with the fact she’ll have to give up her career for marriage – not exactly standard historical romance fare! Julia Hargate and Damon Savage were forced into marriage as young children, and some years later Julia is disowned by her family when she runs away to London and becomes a famous actress – under a new name. Damon has been searching for his wife for years, with the intention of dissolving the marriage. When he is introduced to her as a potential patron for the theatre, they fall in love. It looks as though Julia will be forced to choose between her career and her marriage. Some reviewers have expressed dislike at Julia’s indecision, but that is what makes the story so good. I’m glad this heroine had something in her life beyond balls and fancy outfits, and I suppose it was the break from tradition that upset some. I adore books set in a theatre environment, and Lisa Kleypas really paints a realistic picture of the theatre world and the passion that comes with it. This is one of the most fascinating facets of London, and I only wish there were more books to the series. The story also takes us to beautiful Bath, which was another aspect of the story I really enjoyed. The relationship is wonderful – not only is the ‘big reveal’ brought out early enough for the characters to deal with their issues, but both Damon and Julia face the fact they are in love with each other quite early on. It is straight-laced Damon’s struggle with social conventions, and Julia’s passion for life that causes the conflict between them. As with the other Capital Theatre book, I love that we get to meet such a cross-section of London society in this book. This is a city functioning on all levels, not just a group of pretty little virgins lining themselves up at a ball. It really brings the story to life. The Capital Theatre books have been really great reads for me. The combination of the theatre, the characters, the conflicts and the romance is wonderful. I’d definitely recommend them.
