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 bestselling 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.

"Ms. Kleypas seems to handle series well. The installments seem to get better with time, though each is pretty d*rn good on its own. Leo is a charming yet "manly" lead, and Cat is a wounded but scrappy heroine (who has just enough girliness). :) They deserve each other, and I mean that in a good way." — Joycee (4 out of 5 stars)

“A sharp-witted and sharp-tongued heroine closely guards the secret of her past from an equally determined hero with a few secrets of his own in the latest sinfully sensual, superbly written addition to Kleypas’s wickedly funny Hathaway series.”
" I will always love the way Kleypas writes. Her skill at creating both a story and characters that draw the reader in to thoroughly enjoy the beauty of a great story is as brilliant as any romance writer out there. While this story is good, I didn't feel it was quite up to par with her ability. Parts of the storyline seemed just a little too far fetched, making it a little hard to completely believe and enjoy the experience. "
" Really a 4.5. Just silly good once again. Leo is a dream! "
" As always another quick, fun read from Lisa Kleypas. She never fails to make me laugh! If you enjoy any of her books, you will enjoy this one as well. "
" Paling suka, sama Epilog-nya...akhirnya Leo and Chaterine mempunyai anak kembar yaitu Edward dan Emmaline... congrats... :) "
" Leo tiene uno de los mejores sentidos del humor de la familia. "
" Finally terjawab sudah misteri si pendamping wanita Catherine Marks, cerita yang kuat antara Leo dan Catherine, love it. "
" Absolutely loved this book! Fell in love with Lord Ramsey! Catherine Marks was the perfect love interest! As he gradually won over her heart....he won my heart too! "
" i loved the hero and the heroine , they were a perfect match with a lot of funny moments , i also loved the old characters from the series like harry and the way he reacts towards cat when she needs him. another great book from the hathaway series :) "
" Of course, Dodger steals the book. It's a good story and the Hathaways and their compatriots are wonderful. "
" 3.5 stars. Liked the 2nd half best. Kleypas' writing is wonderful and alluring. "
" Oh Goodness, this book was adorable: Cute, funny and sexy! "
" I picked this book up on CD in preparation for a road trip. More than fluff but not quite an adrenaline rush. Definitely makes me want to read the other books in the series. If you need a break from more intense books, this one is a must. "
" I generally read historical romances because I don't like how "dirty" contemporary romances are - I don't enjoy dirty talk and the like. I felt this was a bit to vulgar for me, but that's just my opinion. "
" I could not put the book down. This is a regency romance novel set in London. The heroine has a horrible secret in her past and her love interest does not want to be married because of a past hurt. They bicker constantly and then they realize the chemistry between them cannot be stopped. "
" so good! i am loving this series! lisa kleypas's best yet! "
" My absolute favorite of the series so far. After getting to know Catherine and Leo, their happily ever after was so worth waiting for and getting there was so gratifying. The banter between the two and their eventual heated romance is sooo entertaining from a romantics point of view. "
" ternyata memang, dari seluruh Hathaways, Leo yang paling ak suka:P tapi, seluruh pria di The Hathaways series, semuanya kereen.. "
" I wonder if Jake Valentine can have his own story, too. "
" Finally! Marks and Leo figure out their relationship, we find out what happened to Marks in the past, and we get to see how things progress from there! "
" romance novels are NOT typically my thing, but this one was CUTE CUTE CUTE, especially the hero Leo. sigh. "
" Not my favorite of the Hathaway books, but still very entertaining. "
" Finally, I know about all the Hathaways. Kat and Leo...such a great couple. This one had a slightly different ending than the others. I'm happy about that. "
" Another of my favorites, I love Leo... "
" i fall for this book immediately.. :) "
" very entertaining historical romance. Loved the pet ferret, Dodger. Many cute touches to the book. I didn't realize it was part of a series. I borrowed the rest of the series. "
" Better than the other Hathaway books "
" One in a series (I didn't know that before starting), it is a delightful historical romance and includes a delightful ferret pet named "Dodger." "
