LK continually teased the reader by throwing them together and then pulling them apart-so frustrating! I thought the introduction of a rival for Win's affections would surely cause Kev to finally do something but.(*sigh*).
When they were together they just smoldered-the desire they felt for each other was just so palpable. I loved how she was not afraid to come right out with her feelings for Kev, even though he fought his own feelings tooth and nail. I loved how she went away for 2 years to a clinic to regain her health-I admired her desire to live life to the fullest and not take any day for granted after she got better. I loved seeing all the Hathaways again (although I swear Beatrix still acts way too young for an 18 year old!), loved to see that Leo was on the road to recovery, loved seeing Cam! and Amelia together, loved the little visit to Annabelle and Simon Hunt's ball, I even loved Dodger the ferret! I was intrigued by the introduction of a new character-Miss Marks, the sisters' governess-and I loved the effect she had on Leo!
And then the 'kidnapping' that followed? Breathtaking, romantic, sexy.What a payoff LK gives the reader for sticking with the story! I loved the scene where Win's brother Leo finally got through to him-Leo, of all people!-it brought a few tears to my eyes. He has probably one of the most pitiful back stories I've ever read for a romance hero, it's no wonder he was such an emotional island.
He was determined to keep himself closed up, feelings all bottled up, desires under control, letting fear rule him.he drove me crazy but my heart ached for him. Every time he made a move on Win Hathaway, the heroine, and then pushed her away I wanted to smack him! He drove that poor girl crazy! And nobody or nothing could get through to him. OMG, the 'gypsy' Kev Merripen has got to be the all-time most stubborn hero in all of Romanceland! His I'm-not-good-enough-for-you and I-don't-deserve-you attitude drove me bonkers so many times in this book! I think I counted three eye-rolls that I gave him throughout the book. There's oodles of great reviews for this book, so I'll just give some of my thoughts. I'm on a winning streak with these Lisa Kleypas books-5 Wallflowers books and now 2 Hathaways-and all were FABULOUS! I know I'm pretty easy to please, but I am loving every word of these two series!
