A classic historical romance novel from New York Times bestseller Lisa Kleypas (“One of today’s leading lights in romantic fiction” —Seattle Times), Because You’re Mine is a breathtaking tale of romantic intrigues and uncontained passions that showcases this acclaimed author at her very best.
“I don’t care about your conscience. All I want is for you to kiss me again.”
Lady Madeline Matthews would rather shame herself than sacrifice her freedom. To avoid marrying an aging, lecherous lord, she seeks out the company of Logan Scott, for a torrid affair with the notorious womanizer would surely condemn her in the eyes of good society.
In truth, Logan is an intensely private man tormented by past betrayals. Now a forward little minx, completely at sea in London’s sophisticated whirl, is disrupting his life with her vibrant charm and unspoiled beauty. But when what begins with a kiss threatens to blossom into something more rapturous and real, will Logan and Madeline have the courage to drop the masks they hide behind in the name of love?

"A Lisa Kleypas book is like chocolate for my brain. I say "Not the whole thing at once" but then it's gone and I'm wishing for more. This book was no exception. In her historical fiction, LK usually manages to portray such realistic characters and emotions that you feel like you know these people when the book is over."

“I am in awe of the exceptional talent Lisa Kleypas has as a storyteller.“
— Rendezvous, praise for the author" Maddie Matthews & Logan Scott coupling. "
— Courtnie, 2/7/2014" Wonderful main character that I enjoyed very much. While this was very much a "typical romance of it's genre" I still enjoyed the characters and setting enough to read it in one go. "
— Flitterkit, 12/28/2013" I loved that Maddy had the strength to know her own heart and that Logan was just soft enough to give in. "
— Me, 12/25/2013" I won't give away any spoilers but I'll just say I liked the way the three previous books were linked to this one and tht you don't need to read the others to like this one or the characters. Again, characters different from what the norm was at the time. "
— Ingrid, 12/19/2013" 3.5 I stayed up all night to finish it. "
— Heather, 12/4/2013" Between a 4 and a 5, but I'm almost always very generous with my ratings, and tend to round up. This was entertaining and enjoyable from start to finish. (More thoughts here, should anyone care.) "
— Huma, 9/20/2013" Thoroughly enjoyed the book! I like this better than the 1st book of the Capitol Series =) "
— dEe, 5/18/2013" *wipes tears* Love. Love love love! Compelling, heartbreaking and full of awesome. (Also, I'm glad I read the Capital Theatre books in order.) "
— ms, 4/30/2013" I took a brain break with this one, but it was light and fun. ;) "
— Dawn, 2/2/2013" I usually really like Lisa Kleypas, but this book was...well, it was boring to get in to. I had to skip the first 100 or so pages to get to where the conflict happens in order to get through it. After that there was nothing original in this book, not bad, but not up to her usual standard.
