I grew up watching her Youtube videos, desperately begging my mum to take me to les mis to meet her.
I appreciated the lore in play, the lore governing Lorelai's curse/power/gift, it is effective and easy enough to remember but hard for the characters to articulate, and difficult to accept in a real-world context (ie the characters push back against it). Lady Grace Ryburn has accepted another man's proposal after the love of her life, Lieutenant Colin Barry, asked for her own sister's hand in marriage. Outside the US, it reached number four in Australia, number 13 in the United Kingdom, and number 24 in Canada, while also charting within the top 30 in Austria and Sweden. But she carries a painful burden, something she’s kept hidden for years; whenever she kisses someone on the lips, she sees how they are going to die. It’s here that the story started to go off the rails for me, as Grace breaks her betrothal and insists that she wants to be with Colin, even if she has to seduce him to do it.In the middle of that night Grace was woken by a moan that had come straight through the wall next to her bed. I can’t help but feel that this book club was only introduced for Lorelai to meet Grayson, as well as for the author to introduce a trans couple.

While Colin is everything that’s appealing in a hero, he’s too blind to see that he’s in love with Grace until it’s almost too late. This is such a shame because I really did enjoy Carrie's other books and was so excited to read something new of hers.
The story follows her trying to figure out if and how she can safely pursue a relationship with the charming and endearing Grayson Brady.
But I will insert both stories (including Seduced by a Pirate) in between my reads one of these days. I wanted there to be more romance between Lorelai and Grayson and I don’t think I found their relationship to be entirely believable. But where I felt the frustration was that neither the book club nor the trans couple were mentioned later on in the book.I realize I have rated Eloisa James’s With This Kiss: Part One well below other reviewers, not that I didn’t like it. Yet the same warrior's spirit that won so many battles at sea is prompting him to throw propriety to the winds, imitate his pirate father, and simply take what he most desires! She admitted he was handsome, but there wasn't much of an explanation to why, especially with her distant reactions. They may be quite busy with their responsibilities but they made sure that they are always there for their children. But she’s never known if she’s seeing what was always meant to be, or if her kiss is the thing that decides their destiny.
