Mine Till Midnight by Lisa Kleypas

Amazon.com: 4 out of 5 stars

Historical romance master Kleypas reintroduces Cam Rohan, the wealthy half-Gypsy first seen in 2006's Devil in Winter, in her latest page-turning Victorian. Rohan, manager of a London gentleman's club, decides to do a favor for the distraught Amelia Hathaway, who is scouring brothels in search of her wastrel brother, Leo. Rohan, weary of his usual diet of beautiful-but-boring lovers, is bemused by and attracted to Amelia, a staid and proper spinster, and so he sets about making a presence of himself at the ramshackle Hathaway estate, sowing sexual tension as he does. As the standoffish relationship between Rohan and Amelia evolves into romance, the reappearance of Amelia's former suitor throws an intriguing wrench in the works. The author's sensitivity to the prejudice endured by the Roma (Gypsies) adds a measure of grim reality that is creatively offset by Rohan's discussion of Roma beliefs and superstitions. Kleypas's effortless style makes for another sexy exploration of 19th-century passion and peccadilloes, riveting from start to finish. - Publisher's Weekly

Why Did I Choose This Book?

The first from the Hathaway series, I decided to pick it up because I wanted to see if I'd enjoy Lisa Kleypas' historical romances as much as I did with her contemporary books.

I guess what made me select the book was because I like Anne Hathaway so naturally, I picked what was sort of familiar. And I think the similarities will end there. Because that is the worst reason to pick up a book but hey...

It's taking me a while to get it done because of work right now but I will prevail! I am going to finish this book!
