Judul : Devil's Daughter (The Ravenels #5)
Penulis : Lisa Kleypas
Tebal : 375 halaman
Penerbit : Avon
Although beautiful young widow Phoebe, Lady Clare, has never met West Ravenel, she knows one thing for certain: he's a mean, rotten bully. Back in boarding school, he made her late husband's life a misery, and she'll never forgive him for it. But when Phoebe attends a family wedding, she encounters a dashing and impossibly charming stranger who sends a fire-and-ice jolt of attraction through her. And then he introduces himself...as none other than West Ravenel.
West is a man with a tarnished past. No apologies, no excuses. However, from the moment he meets Phoebe, West is consumed by irresistible desire...not to mention the bitter awareness that a woman like her is far out of his reach. What West doesn't bargain on is that Phoebe is no straitlaced aristocratic lady. She's the daughter of a strong-willed wallflower who long ago eloped with Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent—the most devilishly wicked rake in England.
Before long, Phoebe sets out to seduce the man who has awakened her fiery nature and shown her unimaginable pleasure. Will their overwhelming passion be enough to overcome the obstacles of the past?
Only the devil's daughter knows...

Review:
Sialan! Lisa Kleypas beneran penulis romance yang keren sangat. Entah berapa kali saya dibuat menangis sepanjang membaca buku ini. Saya bisa merasakan bagaimana West merasa dirinya terlalu brengsek untuk pantas mendapatkan kebahagiaan. Saya juga bisa merasakan bagaimana Phoebe pelan-pelan menaruh respek kepada respek dan jatuh cinta pada pria itu. Gilaaa... Dan saya tidak tahan membaca bagaimana West dengan sangat mudah membuat kedua anak laki-laki Phoebe menyukainya.
Mungkin karena saya sudah mengenal banyak karakter sampingan di buku ini, saya jadi sangat menikmati semua interaksi di luar West dan Phoebe. Semua seri historical romance yang menceritakan anggota-anggota keluarga memang selalu berhasil membuat saya jatuh cinta pada semua karakternya. Apalagi Lisa Kleypas yang memang sudah jadi penulis favorit saya.
Apa yang mau dibicarakan lagi soal buku ini? Terlalu sempurna atulah. Tidak bisa mengalahkan buku Lisa Kleypas yang berjudul Dreaming of You sih, tapi hampir setara. Saya suka banget sama West dan Phoebe.
Oh, dibanding buku seri Ravenel sebelumnya, kayaknya adegan panas di buku ini yang paling wow. Terlihat sekali kalau penulis juga suka sama si West Ravenel. Hahahaha...
5/5
