Loved it. I knew I would, since I'm a sucker for the colorful Hathaway family. And Leo? I didn't have high hopes for him while reading the first in the series (Mine Till Midnight, but with each succeeding book, he kept growing on me, and growing on me...and finally by this book...*sigh*...he finally became a hero worthy of my admiration!:)

Loved it! Leo and Cat's interactions and relationship made this one a winner. The actual backstory (Cat's mystery past...etc.) was minor entertainment compared to all the fun I had when these two were in the same room. I can see why some people rated this less than five stars as the mystery wasn't much of a mystery, and there are parts that were predictable and maybe even rushed, but I can't knock a star off of my rating simply because I loved the entire experience reading this story.

Leo Hathaway: renowned scoundrel and black sheep of the Hathaway family.
Of course, trust Lisa Kleypas to transform him into a sexy, wicked hero.
We all know who his heroine will be ever since they started trading insults with each other, but to finally read the book where witty Leo had to contend with the acerbic Marks, I know I'm in for a exciting read.

The fourth book in Lisa Kleypas' The Hathaways series. I must admit that like many people I didn't like Leo in the first Hathaway novel. But through time he has grown into something worthy and I ended up quite pleased with his and Catherine's story. Ms Kleypas has a talent for writing some of the best historical romance out there. In my opinion this is one of her best. Lots of witty repartee mixed into a steamy courtship.

I'm going with 4 stars. It is a very loose 4 stars and is primarily based on my love for Leo.
I love reading about the Hathaway's. We are lucky in that we get a visit from all in this book. I was a tad disappointed that we were not given insight to Bea's book. I will be eagerly waiting for that one.
Regarding Cat and Leo's story. Having been introduced to Leo in book one and already seeing him at his worst the angst was very lacking for me in truth I didn't even feel any. Catherine's plight was re ...more

Finally Leo is happily married to Marks! Loved this couple from the very first sparks and couldn't have been any happier with the ending. Looking forward to sister Beatrix's book. You can always depend on Lisa Kleypas to deliver without disappointment.

Ahhhhh. Best Kleypas in ages--for me, since Lady Sophia's Lover. Something about the chemistry between these two characters really grabbed me. Fabulous and straightforward historical romance. I look forward to Love in the Afternoon!

By far my favorite of the series. I love Leo and Catherine! Leo is a crack up and their relationship is wonderful. I'd stop reading after this to end on a high, but I'd like to see how Beatrix's story plays out.

I don't believe one can go wrong by reading anything by Lisa Kleypas, especially when it comes to her Hathaway series.
I loved the chemistry between Leo and Marks. And Leo was one of the most "accomplished lovers" I've ever had the pleasure of reading about. HOT!!!
Read the beginning of the next, and I believe final, Hathaway installment featuring Beatrix and it looks very promising as well.
