Mine Till Midnight.

Author: Lisa Kleypas
Genre: Historical Romance.
Source: Nook Book.
Rating: 3 out of 5.
Book 1 of 5 in The Hathaways Series.

Synopsis from Goodreads.com:
When an unexpected inheritance elevates her family to the ranks of the aristocracy, Amelia Hathaway discovers that tending to her younger sisters and wayward brother was easy compared to navigating the intricacies of the ton. Even more challenging: the attraction she feels for the tall, dark, and dangerously handsome Cam Rohan.
Wealthy beyond most men's dreams, Cam has tired of society's petty restrictions and longs to return to his "uncivilized" Gypsy roots. When the delectable Amelia appeals to him for help, he intends to offer only friendship--but intentions are no match for the desire that blindsides them both. But can a man who spurns tradition be tempted into that most time-honored arrangement: marriage? Life in London society is about to get a whole lot hotter.

My Review:
(Once again I found the synopsis on the misleading side, but not completely.)
I don't really know where to begin, I guess I will start with the hero. I only found one extremely interesting thing about Cam Rohan: He is a Gypsy. Before picking this book up, I had only read one book (that I remember) that had gypsy characters in it. Honestly, I wasn't that fond of them. I'm still not. But Cam Rohan, and a secondary character - Merripen, are exceptions. I love these two men. But right now I am only talking about Cam. Not to say that he was plain, or dull but, his being a gypsy the most interesting thing about him was because, I had never come across that in a regency romance before. I really liked that because it was different. He was a different type of character. Not some lord of the ton that would be easily scandalized and well, full of himself in a way. Cam was caring, gorgeous, (mostly) unrestricted in his ways, and intelligent.

Hosted by Under the Covers.

I have exactly 3 Lisa Kleypas books on my TBR shelf, but she is still a new-to-me author, because I have not read any of her books yet! When I found this challenge over @ A Novel Challenge, I became instantly intrigued. After reading about it at Under the Covers and seeing that they have a "beginners" level (appropriately called "Popping Your Kleypas Cherry") I decided to join. :) To see what I'll be reading for this challenge please go to "See my progress" above.
