Mine Till Midnight (Hathaways Series, Book One): Lisa Kleypas

“THEIR LIVES DEFY CONVENTION.

“When an unexpected inheritance elevates her family to the ranks of aristocracy, Amelia Hathaway discovers that tending to her younger sisters and wayward brother was easy compared to navigating the intricacies of the ton. Even more challenging: the attraction she feels for the tall, dark, and dangerously handsome Cam Rohan.

“THEIR DESIRE CONSUMES THEM BOTH…

“Wealthy beyond most men’s dreams, Cam has tired of society’s petty restrictions and longs to return to his “uncivilized” Gypsy roots. When the delectable Amelia appeals to him for help, he intends to offer only friendship—hut intentions are no match for the desire that blindsides them both. But can a man who spurns tradition be tempted into that most time-honored arrangement: marriage? Life in London society is about to get a whole lot hotter….”

Once more, Lisa Kleypas whisks readers back to Nineteenth-century England and Stony Cross Park—where even the most unlikely couples seem find the love of a lifetime. In the first book of this new series, Kleypas introduces a new family with its own fair share of issues. With a newly-inherited title and hardly any money to their name, the Hathaways are having a difficult time adjusting. None so much at the Leo—the new Lord Ramsay—and his younger sister, Amelia, who cares for the entire family like a mother hen—taking all the responsibility for her three sisters and unruly older brother on her shoulders.

The readers have already met Cam Rohan in several books from the Wallflower Series and it’s very interesting to see a new side to this mysterious half-Rom. His mind is quick and his skills with numbers is undeniable, but there is something about the way that Kleypas has written him that he is completely fascinating. I have read books with the Rom before but none with such a distinct character as Cam. I really enjoyed following Cam’s evolution through the story. He was sweet and multi-faceted and I thoroughly enjoyed him.

Overall, the book was fantastic and I am VERY excited to read the sequel! The Hathaways are a family that I can’t wait to read more about!
