Devil in her Dreams involves a rather straight forward plot with a few twists here and there.  The leads had an instant connection but they never connected strongly with me.Louisa Whitten is visiting her sister when she and Devlin Barrett are reacquainted.  Both of these characters I believe have been in previous stories. This is the first novel I have read by this author so I had no backstory on them.Louisa’s grandfather is forcing her to marry by Christmas.  Louisa is a Vicar’s daughter and everyone thinks she is biddable and sweet and well, a perfect vicar’s daughter.  She doesn’t act that way around Devlin in fact they argue and push each other’s buttons.  She is also pretty self sufficient too and just a little more daring than your average miss.Louisa soon develops strong feelings for Devlin and he for her but he has three sisters who need husbands and Devil is obsessed with finding them mates.  He just cannot imagine marrying Louisa before his sisters are married and this is what keeps this couple apart, which I found to be a really silly reason not to marry.  His sisters are nice girls and just a little adventurous, they are not hopping on ships with pirates or anything.  Louisa is the one with the logical brain here and realizes she can actually be a help mate to Devlin but it takes him a while to understand this.
