Mine Till Midnight The Hathaways Book 1 Lisa Kleypas 9780312949808 Books

I love regency romances! I've read several of this author's books and liked them, even loved some. This book had a mildly intriguing premise - young debutante falls in love with a half-gypsy gambling club manager. Its biggest attraction for me was that it was set in the world of the wallflowers, which I loved. The heroine, Miss Amelia Hathaway, was the problem - she was immature, provincial, and stubborn. The hero, Cam Rohan, was quite compelling - handsome, powerful, charming, and loyal. They had very little chemistry. The storyline was a little too quirky for me. I do love the author's writing style - plenty of action and dialogue - but I didn't love this book. I have no interest in reading any more of this series.

Mine Till Midnight The Hathaways Book 1 Lisa Kleypas 9780312949808 Books Reviews

I'm not a big historical romance reader but give me a historical romance by Julia Garwood or Lisa Kleypas and I won't be disappointed. This wasn't my favorite Lisa Kleypas book but I did really enjoy it.

Cam was a wonderful hero and one of my favorites. He was passionate, stubborn, a rock to lean on, funny and well just about everything you want in a man. Amelia was also a strong character. She had so much on her shoulders, she was strong, stubborn and loyal. The snark between the two was cute and fun and I really enjoyed their romance. <spoiler>although I got a little frustrated with Amelia once she was sleeping with Cam every night but still wouldn't agree to marry him</spoiler>.

I will admit I thought the ghost story was a little silly and I wanted a bit more to the "villain" plot but overall I really enjoyed this book.

The secondary characters were charming and so much fun to read about, except Leo who I just wanted to shake/smack! I am really looking forward to the next book in this series.
First off, I love Lisa Kleypas and have read a ton of her books. I love The Ravenels and The Wallflower series, so when I saw that some old characters would make an appearance, I jumped to get this book, after all Kleypas hadn't let me down yet.

That being said, this book was just awful. While I wanted to like Cam, the hero, I was getting a rapey vibe from him toward the end. There was no depth to his feelings toward Amelia. Right when he sees her all he can think about is tearing her clothes off. And that is how it continues thoughout the book, just him constantly keeping himself from tearing her clothes off every time he sees her. No real feelings other than that.

As far as Amelia, the heroine, lord I was irritated with her. She is so overly controlling and hovering over her siblings. She turns Cam down constantly for no reason. A match between them just made sense but far be it for Amelia to just let someone HELP her for god's sake.

Do yourself a favor and skip this one. There is no depth, no chemistry, and no real story line. It was boring and downright cringy in some spots.
Of all the romances I have read, and there have been a lot, Mine till Midnight is one of the very few which had a moment so sincerely romantic that I had to pause, fan my face, and collect myself. I just love the heroine. Amelia Hathaway is one of my all-time favourites. Sensible and stalwart, she has been holding the pieces of her family together by strength of will alone. When a charming and unusual man enters her life, giving her support and a much needed chance to unclench, if only in private, Amelia is swept off her feet before she really knows what has happened.

Mine till Midnight is a strong starting point for the Hathaway series. Somewhat unfortunately, in addition to a suddenly surprisingly Machiavellian villain, it also has what seems to me an absolutely pointless ghost story subplot that crescendos towards the end. Moreover, the hero, Cam Rohan, is of Romany (gypsy) descent, as is the hero of the next book, Seduce Me at Sunrise. While I appreciated the effort to bring a person of colour (for the times) into a historical romance, I grew quickly tired of what I think of as “the Romany bulls***” fetishized exoticism, plus “gypsy” medical knowledge that was implausible for someone who has been isolated from his own culture since he was 10 years old.

Despite those misgivings, this is still a Lisa Kleypas romance and well worth the read and re-read should you decide to buy it.
