Dangerously - My Review of Hello Stranger by Lisa Kleypas






ABOUT HELLO STRANGER
New York Times bestselling author Lisa Kleypas delivers a scintillating tale of an unconventional beauty who finds passion with the spy who can’t resist her

A woman who defies her time
Dr. Garrett Gibson, the only female physician in England, is as daring and independent as any man—why not take her pleasures like one? Yet she has never been tempted to embark on an affair, until now. Ethan Ransom, a former detective for Scotland Yard, is as gallant as he is secretive, a rumored assassin whose true loyalties are a mystery. For one exhilarating night, they give in to their potent attraction before becoming strangers again.

A man who breaks every rule
As a Ravenel by-blow spurned by his father, Ethan has little interest in polite society, yet he is captivated by the bold and beautiful Garrett. Despite their vow to resist each other after that sublime night, she is soon drawn into his most dangerous assignment yet. When the mission goes wrong, it will take all of Garrett’s skill and courage to save him. As they face the menace of a treacherous government plot, Ethan is willing to take any risk for the love of the most extraordinary woman he’s ever known.

Even though I've been a reader of Historical Romance for many years, I don't often review them for some reason. Okay, I know the reason. Mostly it's that they seem to follow a certain pattern. I have recently rediscovered Lisa Kleypas and (just like with her earlier series) I have been extremely pleased with her new novels. I am reading my way through the Ravenels series and enjoying it immensely. They don't follow the typical formula. In fact, each new novel, while interconnected, seems to be its own entity.

Hello Stranger is Book #4 in The Ravenels series. Dr. Garrett Gibson and Ethan Ransom have been circling each for awhile in this series and it's time they finally have their reckoning.

Ethan is a dangerous man. His job is risky, but it's the reckless feeling that he stirs up in Garrett that makes him more threatening.

Garrett is the only female doctor in England and as such, she risks her life to care for others. Roaming London after dark is unsafe for any woman, even one who has been trained to fight with her cane. Ethan has been watching over the good doctor's nocturnal wandering and ends up rescuing Garrett from an attack. Even though the chemistry between the two is off the charts, Ethan knows that his occupation could bring trouble for anyone around him. He tries to stay away, but Ethan's boss soon makes it impossible and perhaps deadly for him to avoid being in the delightful presence of Dr. Garrett Gibson.

Lisa Kleypas writes strong women and men who are more than happy to allow them to be who they are. In a time when women were seen as property and were forced to live under a man's rule, Kleypas's women are becoming physicians, owning their own companies, and making their own decisions. The romance is enchanting and the adventure is daring. If you are a fan of Historical Romance, you are going to love Hello Stranger by Lisa Kleypas. Get it on your tbr.

5 out of 5 stars.

30 Seconds to Mars  - Dangerous Night

Started a stranger, a lover in danger
The edge of a knife
The face of an angel, the heart of a ghost
Was it a dream?

I... I am a man on fire
You... a violent desire



Chalie Puth - Dangerously

There are parts of this song that don't quite match up, but the overall feel of the song was right for Garrett and Ethan.
