Lisa Kleypas - Mine Till Midnight
From The Back Cover:
When an unexpected inheritance elevates her family to the ranks of the 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.
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—but intentions are no match for the desire that blindsides them both. But can a man who spurns tradition be tempted into that most time-honoured arrangement: marriage? Life in London society is about to get a whole lot hotter….
My Thought... 5 Stars!!
Lisa Kleypas is a new author for me. This is the first book by her that I read. She delivers a story with grace and elegance. Cam Rohan, the hero in this story was just mind-blowing astonishing. Amelia was a lovable and charming heroine, but she was a bit overprotective towards her sibling but that make her more appealing to the readers. She was the ideal match for Cam! With their quirks and flaws, all the Hathaway’s siblings were amazing. Great family, Great book, and can’t wait to read the rest of the books in the Hathaway series...

This is the first book from the de Warrene Dynasty that I read. It has a great story plot and well-developed characters. I was fascinated and enchanted by Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Fitzgerald and Tyrell de Warenne’s love story. This is the book that drew me into the series of the de Warenne. Now, I’m proud to say that I have all the books in this series.
