Love Come To Me by Lisa Kleypas

I cannot actually remember how I got the idea to buy this book (Love Come to Me), even though I ordered it just a few weeks ago. Being so used to reading mostly vampire books, I spent the first pages waiting for the book to talk about how Heath is a vampire. After I while I noticed that they were all "just" human. After a minute of disappointment I noted that this was just fine.

It's not that I read vampire books (and other supernatural books) because I have a particular passion for vampires or anything, it's just that that's what I'm used to now, and I find that they are generally a bit more interesting than "normal human books". :)

This book told the story about Lucy and Heath during the 19th centrury in America. The war had just ended and they were from different sides of the conflict - Lucy from the north and Heath from the south. Well, if a vampire and a vampire hunter can see past their differences, surely a northern woman and a southern man can do that, too. At least the initial attraction seems to suggest so.

This was quite a typical romance novel. The not-so-very-original boy meets girl, boy and girl should perhaps not be together, they fall in love anyway, run into trouble in their relationship, and then...

This is perhaps not my new favourite book, but it was quite enjoyable, with just the right amount of romance, sex, intrigue, humour, politics and trouble. I would recommend it for those looking for a lovely romance novel without very much surprise. I might pick up more of Kleypas's books, we'll see.
