Judul: Chasing Cassandra (The Ravenels #6)
Penulis: Lisa Kleypas
Tebal: 374 halaman
Penerbit: Avon
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 . . .

Review:
Lisa Kleypas selalu bisa menghibur dengan karya-karyanya yang sederhana dan tidak penuh drama. Saya tahu plot ceritanya hampir mirip dengan buku-buku penulis sebelumnya. Tapi entah kenapa saya selalu kembali dan kembali hanya demi kenyamanan tersebut. Cerita keluarga yang dibangun penulis pasti berhasil memberikan kesan hangat yang asyik banget.
Tokoh Severin cukup menarik sejak awal dia disebutkan di seri Ravenel. Biasalah. Pria yang logikal dan tidak punya hati gitu. Pokoknya Severin bakal disulap sama penulis biar jadi pria yang akhirnya jatuh cinta setengah mati sama seorang wanita. Kali ini si wanita adalah Cassandra, kembaran Pandora yang suka ngemil.
Jujur. plotnya standar banget. Tapi interaksi di antara anggota keluarga Ravenel yang selalu saya cari di serri ini. Mungkin saya memang bias sama cerita yang berhubungan dengan keluarga. Apalagi tipe keluarga sehat dan kompak gitu karena keluarga saya bukan tipe yang seperti itu. Tampaknya saya mencari contoh keluarga normal di buku-buku yang saya baca.
Lisa Kleypas tidak pernah mengecewakan pokoknya buat saya. Cuma kenapa seri ini bukunya banyak banget ya? Masih ada lanjutannya. Perasaan, semua anggota keluarga Ravenel sudah dapat pasangan semua.
3/5
