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...

Liza's Review:

Chasing Cassandra is the latest book in the popular Ravenel series from Lisa Kleypas. I've enjoyed each of the stories in this series and was so excited to get Cassandra's book at last. 

Cassandra is such a sweet and charming character. She truly seems to look for the good in pretty much every part of life, and was such a refreshing character. She is a bit at loose ends since her twin Pandora just got married, and is now heading into the season pretty much needing to find a husband.

Tom Severin always gets what he wants, and after meeting Lady Cassandra, he wants her...not as a love match, but because she needs a husband and he needs a wife. The fact that Cassandra will only marry for love and they were so opposite in so many ways, only made me love them more with each page I read. Cassandra challenged Tom in a way few had ever done in his life. The banter between Cassandra and Tom was delightful at times and totally felt like foreplay at other times. I seriously fell hard for them as a couple long before they became one. 

I adored Tom's protective instincts when it came to Cassandra as it was something even those he claimed as friends never thought possible. I loved watching Tom fall in love with another person for the first time in his life, and I especially loved he fell for Cassandra just as she was and didn't want her to change anything about herself. Especially as she seemed to need to change everything about herself to be with any other man. I also felt the chemistry between them from their first meeting, and loved it grew stronger with each meeting. I really was completely charmed by this couple, and loved seeing them find one another.

Chasing Cassandra was a completely charming story. I really loved all aspects of the story and couldn't put the book down once I started reading it. Lisa Kleypas gives her readers a wonderful addition to the Ravenel series with Chasing Cassandra and I can't wait to see what she brings us next with her next release.
