This makes a young Lucy jealous and as an adult resentful of both Alice and her parents. She is doted on to an extreme, and never has to take responsibility for anything. Alice becomes ill, and even after she recovers, can do no wrong in her parents eyes. Those three things are vital to this story. When Lucy Marinn was seven years old, three things happened: Her little sister Alice got sick, she was assigned her first science fair project, and she found out magic existed. And instead, I really didn’t have much of a problem at all, and I think it is all because Lisa Kleypas didn’t try to make it a surprise and it doesn’t overwhelm the story. So I went into this book expecting to rant and rave about the magic aspect. The ghost kind of ruined that book for me. For example, The Next Always by Nora Roberts. I don’t like magic in my otherwise contemporary books. I was hesitant though for one main reason – magic. But I didn’t want to let this new contemporary pass me by. I ended up loving it, and still plan to read the other two in that series. I’m a huge fan of her historicals and decided to try Smooth Talking Stranger this year on audio. I’m relatively new to Lisa Kleypas contemporaries. Contemporary Romance (with magical element)
