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...
This book features the oldest sister Amelia Hathaway and Cam Rohan, the Roma that works for St. Vincent (featured in Devil in Winter). From the instant I met Cam in the Wallflowers, I knew I wanted more from him. He was so mysterious and I love reading about a good bad boy and nothing made me more intrigued to read this than hearing that he was going to fall for someone like Amelia. As the second oldest sibling of the five Hathaways, she's taken on the role of the mother. To see someone who has to always be put together and look out of the welfare of her family lose herself to someone brooding like Cam made for an incredibly entertaining read. Cam and Amelia really had to fight society and its expectations to come together and I loved reading their love story.
In all honesty, the Hathaway siblings are the true wonders of this book and I know they will be for the rest. The simple presence of each family member is what I loved about this book. The siblings fight and argue and don't always get along but love each other regardless. Unlike many members of society, they are vastly different and unique. Lisa Kleypas gave each sibling their own personality and it all really showed in this book.
