Summary: A Good Read
Review: I enjoyed this book. The heroine was strong and knew her mind. The hero was strong but not afraid to show his soft side. It was nice to see the main characters fall in love slowly and take their time in developing a stronger relationship.

Summary: An average romance, nothing special
Review: I found the characters insipid, and what could have been a really intriguing plot weighed down by "yes we can, no we can't type dialogue. "The fact that Julia is referred to as Jessica only part of the time also confuses the reader, as does the character of Logan Scott, who we are supposed to believe resists the temptation to be her 'leading man' for years but suddenly decides to marry her and make her a business offer she can't refuse when the long-absent hubby turns up. The supposedly pregnant mistress is just a silly plot complication, as is the feckless brother William. The couple spend hardly enough time with each other to really get to know one another. The life depicted on stage as so wonderful Julia would never dream of giving it up is ridiculous given the nature of the theatre in this period of history, and especially given how actresses were treated. A little bit of fluff to pass the time, but don't expect any real romance or high drama except between the actress and her father (or was that melodrama...)

Summary: Really short on the mark.
Review: I have read many books by Mrs. Kleypas and this book just did not measure up to any I have read before. While on the surface it looks like this book has everything it needs to be good, its missing what makes it great. There could have been more chemistry between the characters. There was sexual tension, but not alot that lead to the deeper feeling that draw two people to eachother. Even though you know those deeper feeling are there somewhere, they remain elusive. Julia was a great character. She was strong enough to change what she did not like in her life and did not care about the consequences. She delt with them as they came to her. She was bubbly, smart, indepindent and strong. Not bird brained at all. Although at times she hid under her shell and really took some stuff. Like with Logan. Logan was a hard man and not that great of a friend really. With the advise he gave Julia, you almost have to know what happend to him so that way you dont end up not liking him. I will be getting his story as well. Maybe if he had some romantic reasons for being that way, the man does not see capable of feeling anything other then his love for the theater.
Damon was a hard man. Strong willed and liked things to go his way and fit in the pattern that he thought was best. This makes for lots of tension between the two characters. Julia is one of the most indipendent women that I have read.
So no, this book was not great it was not a total waste of time. Maybe if I had not read any of her newer books and know what she has the potential for, I would have like this alot more. Maybe because it is an older book, I really dont know. But if you like her newer books, stay away from this one. Its not like them at all.

Summary: Lisa Kleypas has captured me as a fan!
Review: I read very favorable reviews for Lisa Kleypas' "Stranger In My Arms." Since I couldn't find that book in the bookstore, I picked up "Somewhere I'll Find You" instead. It was my first Kleypas book and remains one of my favorite Kleypas stories. For anyone who enjoyed meeting Logan Scott in "Somewhere I'll Find You," make sure you read his story in "Because You're Mine," another delightful romance filled with unforgettable and sexy characters.

Summary: A definite turkey
Review: I usually love Kleypas, but this novel was a big disappointment (the sequel, Because You're Mine, is not much better). The writing is bland, and Kleypas utilizes too many silly plot devices and romance cliches in the story. Overall, a very boring and occasionally irritating book. She has done much better!

Summary: Ugh
Review: I was immensely disappointed. This could have been so much better... Damon was an obsessive, controlling, stalking idiot. I did not want the heroine to be with him in the end... he was scary! She should have married Logan! And Logan was interesting--business and money. I'm sure the sequel is more interesting than this. Why did she keep coming back to him? Why do all historical romances have to be based on sex? Why do all heroines have to give in? And why do they all have to be beautiful goddess, their lovers gorgeous, perfect gods? But Damon wasn't perfect--he was obsessive. If this were a contemporary romance, he'd be put in jail!

Summary: One of those misses...
Review: Irritating plot, irritating characters. Who really believes they've married unseen, she runs away but not before they share a passionate kiss, of course unknowing that they were married and then by chance meet again years later and are drawn to each other, heroin in denial and hero leaded by his lust...England must be a small world..and yet no one could find the missing bride until just then. Damon "Savage"(is that really his last name*rolling eyes*) was your typical, over possesive alpha male with no depth that I'm honestly getting tired of reading about over and over again. I've read some really good Lisa Kleypas books and loved them, this one was just not for me.

Summary: Lisa Kleypas is a National Treasure
Review: Lisa Kleypas writes a mighty fine romance novel. We readers owe her for our many hours of pure reading bliss. Again, Ms. Kleypas has penned a perfect romance novel: "Somewhere I'll Find You" is flawless. I loved the story of the theatre and I was excited to find out about Julia's life and where she came from. Ms. Kleypas creates characters who seem real, yet who are also fascinating. That's a difficult task for a romance writer, but Ms. Kleypas has no problem giving us characters that come alive on the page, yet who also seem like people who could have actually existed. The book is also very sensual, yet tasteful ... you'll enjoy it. Don't cheat yourself! Buy this book and you'll read it all in one night!
