Historical | Romance Historical

Win and Kev had history together and an almost unbearable passion for the other. Saving him from a certain death, the Hathaway family had taken in the young, badly beaten gypsy lad and raised Kev Merripen as one of their own. Yet, from his perspective and internal rage, this young Rom felt he had nothing in common with this modestly wealthy and eccentric English family. Clutching to his torn pride and identity as a Rom, Kev insists on rejecting the English life. Yet, despite all his efforts at rejection, he can't get Win out of his blood that burns with fervor for her. Always protective of Win, Kev saves Win's life from Scarlet Fever almost by sheer will power and some Romany medical knowledge. Yet, despite his best efforts, the illness left her a wisp of her former self and an invalid. When Win, who longed for children and the joys of everyday life, heard of a doctor's famous clinic in France, she left with her brother Leo, to seek treatment. Three years later, a healthy Win returns to England and brings the elegant Dr. Julian Harrow with her. She knows Julian desires her, but yearns for Kev's all encompassing primality and hungry passion. Constantly faced with Kev's cold and hateful rejection of her, was Kev really worth the effort? Kev had suffered greatly at the unspeakably cruelty of his uncle and the scars of his past loomed like insurmountable barriers that blocked him from Win. Could he overcome these barriers or would he leave Win to the fate that Dr. Harrow had planned for her? Lisa Kleypas has penned a tender and heart touching romance that focuses on the turbulent relationship between Win and Kev. Their story is skillfully developed in a strong storyline that links in relationships and issues with the rest of the Hathaways. My only reservation about this book is that the ending is almost a little too sweet and complete. Yet that being said, there were enough delicate, tantalizing wisps of a new storyline that makes you long for a follow-up to find out what happens to Leo and the prim woman who captures his eye. An intriguing story on its own, Kleypas' fans will definitely love to get their hands on this sequel to Mine Till Midnight. Enjoy!

SUMMARY

Kev Merripen has longed for the beautiful, well-bred Winnifred Hathaway ever since her family rescued him from the brink of death when he was just a boy. But this handsome Gypsy is a man of mysterious origins—and he fears that the darkness of his past could crush delicate, luminous Win. So Kev refuses to submit to temptation…and before long Win is torn from him by a devastating twist of fate.

Then, Win returns to England…only to find that Kev has hardened into a man who will deny love at all costs. Meantime, an attractive, seductive suitor has set his sights on Win. It’s now or never for Kev to make his move. But first, he must confront a dangerous secret about his destiny—or risk losing the only woman he has lived for…
