Summary: Good (it's Kleypas so it would be surprising if it were bad)
Comment: While I didn't like this novel and it's prequel (Somewhere I'll Find You) as much as I do some of Kleypas's other novels, it was still a good read. I read Somewhere I'll Find You first, and I wondered then whether Kleypas would get around to writing a love story about Logan. Well, this is Logan's story, and as with all Klepas novels, the love is intense and the passion is hot.
I think the reason that I didn't like this as much as say, Dreaming of You, was because I just didn't think that Madeline was a special enough character for Logan. When readers are introduced to Logan in Somewhere I'll Find You, he is portrayed as a man who is almost immune to all women (i.e., immune other than for bedroom partners). I thought at that time that if Kleypas did write Logan's story, she'd really have to create an extra special female heroine to convince readers that such a woman could snag the elusive Logan. Yes, Madeline is spirited, but she's not all that different from your standard romance novel heroine. As such, I just couldn't see a man like Logan, who's resisted more women than he can count, suddenly falling for the typical heroine.
However, other than this, it's a good novel (Kleypas doesn't write many bad ones--but Midnight Angel comes to mind in that category) and well worth reading.

Summary: FAVOURITE OF MINE
Comment: I found that the story of Madeline and Logan was beautiful!Madeline is your typical teenager wearing he heart on her sleeve.Oh,but what a match she was for the jaded Logan Scott!Madeline likes to act on her impulses.Logan likes everything in his life to be routine and stuctured.When the impulsive Maddy decides that she wants him,Logan had better watch out! Passion,love and lust abound.If you want sex read a book by Stella Cameron(Stella is brilliant too!).However,if you want a believeable love story,full of passion and angst,Kleypas is for you!Before you read "BECAUSE YOU'RE MINE",read the story rhat introduces Logan,"SOMEWHERE I'LL FIND YOU".My only complaint about Lisa,is that she doesn't write more books!
Rating: 4
Summary: It had it's flaws, but still a very enjoyable book.
Comment: I had seen this book before and never felt compelled to buy it, for some reason I didn't think an actor would make a very good romance novel hero. But after I met Logan in "Somewhere I'll find you", I was fascinated by him and had to read his story.
The reason I didn't rate this book with 5 stars is because I got really annoyed with the way Logan treats Madeline after he finds out about her little secret.
The fact that at first she only tried to seduce him to escape an unwanted marriage does not by far justifies the way he reacted when he found out. After all, he knew all along that she was hiding something, and her secret is not nearly bad enough for him to go into such a temper tantrum and feel so "betrayed". Besides, Maddy had given him ample prove that she really cared about him. She nursed him day and night when he was sick, risking getting sick herself and barely sleeping or eating to be with him. In return he treats her abominably for no apparent good reason. At the end the author tries to explain the reason for this (is not what we originally think), but this doesn't make much sense either.
I also found a little exagerated at the beginning of the book, the way he is in a constant state of arousal since the first time he sets eyes on Madeline.
On the other hand, the book is entertaining, the love scenes are hot, and Logan, despite his temper and his intransigence is fascinating. Contradictory, isn't it? He is bossy, rude, controlling, with a devil of a temper, and at the same time, he is so sweet, tender, passionate and just lovable. He is one of those romance heroes I wish were real. The scene when he first makes love to Madeline melted my heart. That's why I was so annoyed by the way he acted afterward.
But all in all, this is a very good book, I would definitevely recommend it. Lisa Kleypas is rapidly becoming one of my favorite authors.
