Everything has a price...
Railway magnate Tom Severin is wealthy and powerful enough to satisfy any desire as soon as it arises. Anything—or anyone—is his for the asking. It should be simple to find the perfect wife—and from his first glimpse of Lady Cassandra Ravenel, he’s determined to have her. But the beautiful and quick-witted Cassandra is equally determined to marry for love—the one thing he can’t give.
Everything except her...
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.
When a newfound enemy nearly destroys Cassandra’s reputation, Severin seizes the opportunity he’s been waiting for. As always, he gets what he wants—or does he? There’s one lesson Tom Severin has yet to learn from his new bride:
Never underestimate a Ravenel.
The chase for Cassandra’s hand may be over. But the chase for her heart has only just begun.

Lisa Kleypas completely owns me. Her stories never fail to enthrall and entertain.
Chasing Cassandra is the newest installment in The Ravenels series. I've been excited to get Tom Severin's story since we were first introduced to him. I knew it was going to take a particular type of woman to be able to wrangle his attention and Cassandra is proudly that woman.
Tom and Cassandra meet and do a little back and forth dance, as per usual, but they are met with some out of the ordinary roadblocks. First, Tom is a singular sort of man. He is unusual in the way he deals with people and focuses so directly on his businesses. He takes in stride the millions of pounds that he has in his bank account and simply works for the love of the job.
Cassandra sets her sights on Severin at first but then backtracks as he claims to be a man who will never love another. She knows she could never live in a loveless marriage and fights her attraction to him in order to hold out for love.
This story (and series), while well-plotted and written, is really all about the characters for me. Each book has a strong set of characters that could be planting corn or reading almanacs and I would still love them.
I was grateful to receive an early copy of Chasing Cassandra from the publisher.
