Publisher's summary

Sparks fly and passion ignites between two reluctant lovers who must overcome the pain of their pasts to find happiness in this enchanting novel in New York Times best-selling author Lisa Kleypas’ wildly popular Hathaway series.

Hired as a companion to the Hathaway sisters, Catherine Marks has built a new life for herself, away from her dark past. She adores her delightful charges, and the lively Hathaway household is the closest Cat has ever had to a family of her own. Everything is perfect - except for Leo Hathaway, the girls’ charming and utterly exasperating older brother who drives her to distraction. But when their heated sparring explodes in a sudden kiss, Cat can no longer deny the powerful attraction between them - or the thrill she feels when Leo makes her a shocking proposition.

To save his family home, Leo must marry and produce an heir. The reformed rake vowed he’d never love again after tragedy shattered his heart. Yet the prim and proper Cat challenges him in surprising ways, and her beauty and prim demeanor fuels a desire he cannot control. When the secrets Cat has tried to outrun threatens to separate them forever, Leo and Cat must find a way to banish the ghosts of the past to build a future together.

Rosalyn landor is a queen

The narrator is exceptional as expected. The story is entertaining although I felt it dragged on a little bit more than the other books.

Best of the Hathaways

Loved the suspense of this one. It had a great build up as well since we learned so much about the characters from the previous novels.

Favorite Of the Hathaway Series

Loved Leo. All the previous reviews were right on. Leo is the most likable character. Also liked how Lisa wrote into the story other Hathaway family members. Amazing how Rosalyn Landor can do both male and female voices so well.

Loved it!

Kleypas always brings the humor romance, and sex. This book was so funny, sweet, and romantic. Catherine and Leo were so perfect for each other.
I read the books out of order, 3 and 4 first. It didn't matter because Kleypas does an excellent job weaving the previous books character back stories from the very beginning. I didn't feel like I missed anything.
Roslyn Landor is inimitable as always.

More Leo Please

The male leads in this series are all attractive in their own way - better than others writing in this genre with pretty much the same description for most. Kleypas portrays character personalities where they can actually take shape and there’s believable attraction and longevity. Leo is a new favorite given his personality. I found myself chuckling more than once. Enjoy!
