If there is one author I know I can pick up and never be disappointed in, its Lisa Kleypas. Her writing is so vivid and sensual, and it pulls you in immediately.
From the moment I picked up Mine Till Midnight, the first in the Hathaway series, I was hooked. Seduce me at Sunrise only helped to whet my appetite for Tempt me at Twilight.
I couldn’t wait for Poppy’s story. With her quirky family, I found it charming that Poppy wanted “normalcy”. She certainly doesn’t get it when she meets Harry Rutledge. The passion between them ignites the pages, and Harry’s dangerous and hidden past only fueled my need to know more of him. He wants Poppy and will do anything to get her. And I do mean anything.
At times, I thought he might have done too much and it would push her away. And at times, it nearly did. Yet, Poppy is drawn to Harry in ways she doesn’t understand. When her reputation is compromised, she shocks her family by accepting Harry’s proposal. Poppy believes she’ll have the union her two sisters have.
Harry, on the other hand, has no problem giving Poppy passion – just not his heart or his trust. Their wills clash, and though they battle each other, an enemy lurks waiting to strike.
The culmination is perfect, and the dark, dangerous Harry Rutledge cannot hold out against Poppy and the love that has grown.
I’ve got the next two books in the Hathaway series, Married by Morning and Love in the Afternoon that I’m just dying to dive into. If you’re looking for a wonderful historical series to jump into – this is the one! Lisa Kleypas never disappoints!
