Travis Family

review 1: Dobbiamo fare qualcosa per conoscere la Famiglia Travis, da Houston Texas.Uomini belli, forti, affascinanti, sessualmente instancabilI,generosi.Oltre al fatto che sono ricchi, parecchio ricchi.La sfortunella di turno, se li trova così tra capo e collo senza che lei avesse "maidesiderato uomoni del genere".Si come no! chi ci crede???La Kleypas mi fa sempre fibrillare; mi emoziona con le immagini e storie che riesca a raccontare.Potranno essere storie d'amore delle quali è facile leggere in diversi libri, ma io con le sue avventure mi sento bene.C'è un lieto fine per tutti, passando per varie peripezie o parenti assurdi.In questo terzo capitolo, Ella ha una famiglia allucinante.La madre fa veramente schifo e sua sorella che ha vissuto una brutta infanzia(proprio come lei)... more, reagisce alla vita in un modo opposto a quello di Ella.Che non mi piace per niente; ma almeno lei ha delle attenuanti.Jack è una forza della natura.Lui è sempre pronto a saltarle addosso....e lei fortunatamente non si sottrae a questa "tortura".Brava Nina così si fa.La vita ti ha concesso pochissime soddisfazioni fino ad ora, adesso è giusto che te le prenda tutte.E con un pezzo d'uomo del genere, sexy anche dopo un incidente in barca e con la flebo nel braccio, sono proprio delle gran belle soddisfazioni.Il primo incontro con la famiglia Travis, nel volume Sugar Daddy, è stato secondo me il migliore della serie ma sono una fan accanita di questa allegra famigliola texana e quindi ho voluto tenere abbastanza alto il punteggio, anche se a mio parere alcune cosine sono successe troppo in fretta.Però visto che rileggerei anche subito tutti e tre i libri, quattro stelline gliele ho date volentieri.
review 2: I'm so sad. I had reasonably high hopes for this book, which may be part of the problem, because I absolutely love miss Kleypas books (both the historical ones as the contemporary Friday harbor series) But for me this book didn't have the magic of the previous books in this series and what I've come to expect from miss Kleypas. Why? Five reasons.1: it felt more of a love story between Ella and her baby nephew than between Ella and Jack. Don't get me wrong, there was some powerful and steamy sexy things going on there, but it did lack in a level of challenge. It was kind of predictable.2: I didn't feel that I got to know Jack really well. Again, don't get me wrong. He was a superb good guy. The type any girl can only dream about. But he did feel kind of one dimensional to me. His backstory seemed to consist of his being part of a family and a previous girlfriend that cheated on him without any emotions from his side about that. I wanted insight into his mind. I know there must have been some thinking and calculating going on in his brain when he met Ella. A ladiesman like him (that was his character in the previous books) couldn't have been turned (like an instant bite) by one look at Ella with a baby on her arm and instantly felt compelled to dump his dates, find her an apartment and spend the remainder of his life taking care of someone else's baby. Because that was what happened like a flash of lighting like that was what he was waiting for his whole life. A perfect guy, but I would have liked to see some struggle.3: Although I got to read a lot about Ella, her backstory was also mostly told and not shown. All the misery that would have been a good to read was in the past. Aparently she had done the whole counseling thing which was shown through her interactions with her sister. But that then became backstory for her sister and still only tell for Ella. It was good reading when she tried to cope with her nephew, but that was it and since I don't have kids (and not really like books where emotions between h/h are being evoked through babies) that wasn't for me. 4: And I kept wondering about Ella's choices. They didn't seem to fit with her character:- why did Ella stay in Houston? Why did she stay in a city where she only knows two people that she doesn't even want to see: her mother that she hasn't seen or spoken to in two years and a cousin she only seems to have spoken to since she took care of her nephew. For a sensible person she is portraid to be, it would be the most logical choice to go to Austin. I know, in Austin is the boyfriend she doesn't want to run into, but to me that threat was far less that running into her mother. In Austin she would have had friends to help her and if she really didn't want to lose the boyfriend, she could have seen him if one of her friends or a sitter took care of the baby. It just didn't make sense for her to place herself as a helpless and dependant person in a strange city. Ofcourse it was the perfect plot device to get Ella together with Jack, but a good writer like miss Kleypas could have come up with a better angle than that.- Why all that fuss in the beginning about being a vegan? Ella makes quite some statements about that during her first dinner with Jack, but after that the whole subject just vanishes into thin air: poof. I suppose it was ment to mean some kind of character growth, that she discovers that she is another person that the version of her that's together with the guy in Austin. But why never bring it up again then?- Why did she so totaly give up on the daddy search when the only half clue she had was her own convincion that the priest was the daddy. She just follows her gut? I was fully expecting her to try and steal some glass he had been drinking out to do a secret fraternity test afterwards. She had shown some guts to just walk up to Jack in the beginning, so she had it in her. But even when miss Kleypas left clues the size of mountains about the true father (the quote on the door, the priest saying 'figures' and the hansom, blond, godlike other priest appearance) neither Ella nor Jack picked up on it.5: First person perspective is new for miss Kleypas for so far as I've read her books. so I can only assume she's learning as she goes along. The first person perspective worked in the first two books to a certain extent. Liberty (in book #1)had so much going on that it almost never felt like there was only a smooth ride ahead. Also the story had a real threat to the romance that was developing (first Hardy said he was going to leave, and then it was the wait for Hardy to show up and mess with her and Gage). And Gage showed resistance to Liberty that showed even through the first person perspective from Liberty. The second book, if read as a stand alone, probably would have fell a bit flat. Hardy's backstory from the first book was what made him a true hero but that was mostly told in the second book instead of shown like in the first book. I will probably always keep wishing for miss Kleypas to have written the second book form a third person perspective. That would probably have been worth a 6 star review instead of the 4,5 I gave. But in this third book for me it fell flat on its face. Miss Kleypas is a very good writer. But I can't help thinking she strugled with this book. Jack and Ella could have been really interesting characters if the story was constructed differently.When would it have worked? Maybe if the story had started with Ella still with her mother? (like Liberty in the first book) or if we really had gotten to see her relationship with the Austin-guy (like with Haven in the second book). So obviously those choices felt like: been there, done that and were passed over. And since the first person perspective was kind of a foregone conclusion that left the current setup. I wonder what the fourth book in this series is going to be like. It will be a first person perspective, of that I'm sure. But I do hope for more exictement and less predictability. less

I think I made the mistake of building this book up in my head before reading it. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't the best in the genre I've ever read. Mainly because Ella, the main character, annoyed the heck out of me until the last few pages. She was one big walking contradiction and I had to restrain myself from mentally strangling her several times. Jack Travis was, of course, ridiculously adorable and sexy and for the longest time during the novel I couldn't understand what he saw in her. But then she finally pulled her head out of her butt and I came on board with the romance and the love story.
