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 Thoughts
Mine Till Midnight is the first in the Hathaway Series by Lisa Kleypas. After reading the Wallflower series and seeing the sex gypsy'Cam' that we all know and love. It was a thrill to read Mine Till Midnight, and even though this isn't the first time that I have read this book, I just fall in love with it every time that I read it. Cam and Amelia are one of my favorite couples that Kleypas' has created. I found this story to be invigorating and each page enthralling. Keeps you on your toes with every adventure, every kiss and each moment that will leave you breathless...A UNFORGETTABLE STORY!!!
My Favorite Quote
"What about your freedom?" Amelia asked, snuggling close as he lay beside her "Are you sorry to have lost it?"
"No love," Cam reached to turn down the lamp "I've finally found it. Right here, with you."
