Mine Till Midnight audiobook

third time’s a charm i guess! haven’t had much luck with lisa kleypas in the past but the chemistry between amelia & cam in this book was super hot.and i’m excited to carry on with the series so i’d call this a win!

CAM IS ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. I love a hero that is so into the heroine and is not hesitant to tell her he loves her. That was Cam, and I was swooning over this whole book. Amelia has three sisters and a brother, and she's trying everything to take care of them and make sure they have a good life. Leo, her brother, is pretty infuriating and I was so frustrated with him this whole book. Cam doesn't hesitate to step in and try to take care of Amelia and her family, no matter how much she tries to push him away. They had such good chemistry and I loved how much he was there for her. While she had so much to worry about and take care of, she couldn't ignore their attraction. This romance wasn't necessarily a different social class, but Cam is Roma and a self-made man, so there is definitely a stigma against him and Amelia being together. I love self-made men in historical romances, so that's another reason why I loved Cam so much. I just loved this story! There was a lot that happened in here, but I loved everything about it. I am so excited for Win and Merripen's romance in the next book because that was definitely developed in this book. I did listen to the audiobook for this book and I've heard some things were changed for that version of this book, so I really want to physically reread this book soon!

Re-read July'2020:I listened to the audiobook narrated by Rosalyn Landor.Re-read Oct'2019:Just as wonderful as I remember from almost 10 years ago, if not more so!! Still big 5++ stars!!Original read/review Jun'2010:5++ stars – Historical RomanceIt simply doesn’t get any better than Lisa Kleypas. I loved the Wallflowers series, and I’ve been looking forward to Cam’s story, ever since he so completely captivated me in Devil in Winter. Instead of flying through this lightning fast like I did with the Wallflower books, I took my time and savored it. I relished every moment of reading this because Cam Rohan is like the finest, rarest dark chocolate.....exotically decadent and sinfully delicious! Mine Till Midnight is a beautiful read full of magic, mystery, lush sensuality, and enchanting romance with charming characters that you’ll fall in love with, especially the dark, mysterious, devilishly sexy half-Gypsy, half-Irish prosperous club owner, Cam Rohan. Although Cam longs to return to his tribal roots and yearns for the nomadic, unattached life of a true Roma, he’s irresistibly drawn to strong-willed, stubborn spinster Amelia Hathaway and her quirky, luckless family. Cam opens Amelia’s eyes to a midnight world of magic and sensuality, and together, they experience an electric attraction, deep, intrinsic emotional connection, and volatile, lush love affair that will change them both, forever. Cam’s total adoration, relentless wooing, and gentle caring and cherishing of Amelia is profoundly sweet and incredibly romantic. I just loooved him! I think Cam Rohan might even be my favorite ever Lisa Kleypas historical romance hero, which is really saying something considering that all of her heroes are flat-out the swoon-worthiest, very best of the bunch!Mine Till Midnight is a lovely, engaging, unforgettable romance! Big 5++ stars!Here are some of my favorite quotes:Rohan’s fingertips drifted with stunning delicacy over her throat, behind her ear, pushing into the satiny warmth of her hair. “You are an interesting woman Amelia.” Gooseflesh rose wherever his breath touched. “I can’t f-fathom why you would think so.” His playful mouth traced the wing of her brow. “I find you thoroughly, deeply interesting. I want to open you like a book and read every page.” A smile curved the corners of his lips as he added huskily, “Footnotes included.” “I want you. I want to lie with you beneath constellations and clouds and shade trees.”“I know all about probability and odds,” Rohan agreed. “Nevertheless, I believe in luck.” He smiled with a quiet smolder in his eyes that caused her breath to catch. “I believe in magic and mystery, and dreams that reveal the future. And I believe some things are written in the stars...or even in the palm of your hand.” Lord St. Vincent discussing with Cam Rohan about the monotony of bedding any random, willing woman versus the challenge and benefit of taking a wife:A slow smile had curved St. Vincent’s lips. “Wives are a different case altogether. They require a great deal of effort but the rewards are substantial. I highly recommend wives. Especially one’s own.”

4.5 stars! Lisa Kleypas has become my go to author when I am in a book slump. I always enjoy her stories!!! Mine Till Midnight is the beginning of the Hathaways Sisters series, and while it doesn't explicitly say so, you need to read The Wallflowers series beforehand because SO MANY characters overlap and I feel you would be confused if you didn't.This book is about Amelia, the sister who is always looking out for her family as they experience one bad stroke of luck after the other. While looking for her brother, Amelia meets Cam Rohan, a half Roma man who helps run a gambling house. There's an instant attraction, but the two of them know their outlooks on life will keep them apart. Or will it?Seriously hot this book. I was shocked, but I felt the chemistry was perfect and things were instense between Amelia and Cam. I do wish we had gotten like a prologue, a little bit more of these two at the end but I am sure I will see them in the next books in the series, and I cannot wait to start them!!!Follow me on ♥ Facebook ♥ Blog ♥ Instagram ♥ Twitter ♥

La verdad es que empecé a leer este libro sin estar muy convencida, pues esta autora no terminaba de convencerme, pero para mi sorpresa, esta historia me encantó: ) Así que será cuestión de seguir ;)

4 Hummingbird Stars ***Spoilers***When it comes to historical romance I am very picky. Over the years I have found that a lot of HR will have cheating and mistresses in their books. So much so that I quit reading HR books until I discovered Goodreads and was able to see spoilers and make sure there would be no cheating in that book. I was craving some HR and a friend said to try Lisa Kleypas that they loved her. So when I was out book shopping I found the whole Hathaway Series for 4.00, bought it and here we are. My first taste of Lisa Kleypas and I loved it. I really enjoyed her writing style. I connected and fell in love with all the characters including the secondary characters which just makes me want to read all their HEAs. Mine Till Midnight, the first book in the Hathaway series, was an awesome read that did a great job of hooking me. So much so that I didn't want to stop and write a review I wanted to rush and start Winnifred and Merripen's story. "You have a vivid imagination, Miss Hathaway." His tone was bland. But there was a flare of provoking laughter in his eyes. "I have no such thing. The rest of my family is steeped in imagination—I'm the one who clings desperately to reality." -Cam and Amelia "God help anyone who stands in your way. You do like to manage other people's lives, don't you?" "Only when it's obvious I can do a better job of it than they can. What are you smiling at?"-Cam and Amelia The heroine in this book Amelia was 26 which made her a spinster. After being burnt by her ex love ( her brother's ex bf Christopher Frost) She had no desire to get married and just wanted to take care of her sisters and brother. Her brother Leo the oldest of the Hathaways, and newly titled viscount was in self destruction mode and suicidal over the death of his fiancee Laura. Amelia being the second oldest was trying to hold the family together and save her brother. Amelia was stubborn, smart and acted like a mother hen. She tried to control things and took all the family's problems (which were many) on her shoulders. Though she really wanted Cam she held him at arms length because she was worried that he would leave her like her ex or resent her for his lost of freedom. I really liked Amelia and could understand where she was coming from. I didn't fault her for holding Cam off although at times I did get frustrated with her. I did however take a star off of my rating of this book because of something she did. After her and Cam have slept together and Cam had repeatedly asked her to marry him (at this point she was still saying no to him about marriage) Cam leaves for London to get some workers for her home. While gone a bunch of shit happens and she is super upset and stressed, her ex Christopher shows up. She talks to him in which he kisses her twice! No she doesn't kiss him back, shocked she just stands there caught off guard but and here is the part that pissed me off she didn't tell him to never touch her again or slap him. Nothing! Then she doesn't' tell Cam about the two kisses although he does find out about her talking alone with Christopher. It pissed me off so much that I took a star off. This is what she should have done..... "Stop running from me and listen. I do want you. I want you even knowing if I marry you, I've got an instant family, complete with a suicidal brother-in-law and a Gypsy houseboy with the temperament of a poked bear." "Merripen is not a houseboy." "Call him what you like. He comes with the Hathaways. I accept that."-Cam Cam was amazing. I loved him so much. Cam was half Roma Gypsy /half Irish. He was an outcast in both worlds. He wanted for so long to fit in and be Roma and longed for the freedom of the Gypsy lifestyle that he was scared of his deep feelings for Amelia. Cam was really the best of both worlds civilized, hard working, loyal but he knew how to have fun he had a wild side and could be dangerous when needed. Cam was very charming. He wanted Amelia as his wife and he wasn't taking no for an answer. Cam was a rock for Amelia. Helping her with her family problems and just being there for her. He got her to live a little, to let go. "I find you thoroughly, deeply interesting. I want to open you like a book and read every page." A smile curled the corners of his lips as he added huskily, "Footnotes included." Feeling the stiffness of her neck muscles, he coaxed the tension out of them, kneading lightly. "I want you. I want to lie with you beneath constellations and clouds and shade trees."-Cam "It would be disastrous." Heat climbed in her breasts and throat and face. "You would resent me for taking away your freedom and I would resent you for taking mine. I can't promise to obey you, to accept your decisions and never again be entitled to my own opinions? "It doesn't have to be that way." "Oh? Would you swear never to command me to do anything against my will?"-Amelia and Cam Cam and Amelia's relationship was a passionate one. Total opposites they complemented each other nicely, but also butted heads too. Which usually ended with them in bed. I really liked all of Amelia's sisters. Each had unique personalities that made them stand out as individuals. I loved Merripen was intrigued with him and Winnifred love story which is next. Leo was a sad case. My heart broke for him and in the same breathe I wanted to choke the shit out of him. I understood that he was in so much pain over losing Laura, but the things he did, the way he was reckless made me want to shake him and yell snap the hell out of it. I loved just about everything in this book and I really can't wait to start Win and Merripen's book. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves historical romances. "You're not like any man I've ever known," she said. "You're not even someone I could have dreamed. You're like someone from a fairy story written in a language I don't even know." "The prince, I hope." "No, you're the dragon, a beautiful wicked dragon." Her voice turned wistful. "How could anyone have a normal everyday life with you?"-Amelia and Cam http://jessicasoverthetopbookobsessio...

"Take me away." Mine Till Midnight is the first book in The Hathaways Series and to say I am late for the party is the understatement of the century. I have never considered myself a Historical Romance fan and yet, I have become a Hathaway addict! In this first book in the series, we are introduced to the Hathaway family. Amelia, the oldest, has spent her entire life caring for her younger siblings. After experiencing heartbreak, she has decided that she is to live the life of a spinster and spend her time taking care of her brother and little sisters. When she meets Cam Rohan, he sweeps her off of her feet. Cam is half gypsy and half Irish and has lived his life trying to find a balance between both worlds. Cam is taken by Amelia and although he tries to stay away from her, the two are destined to find happiness together. "Surely you would have expected no less of a Roma. We take what we want. If a Roma desires a woman, he steals her for himself. Sometimes right out of her bed." Told in dual POV, Mine Till Midnight offers a perfect blend of romance, passion, and family love! Cam and Amelia are a perfect match and I could not be more in love with the way Cam fought to protect Amelia and was ruthless about making her his. Amelia's family is falling apart and Cam is more than willing to step in and help her pick up the pieces and put them back together again. The transformation these characters take is beautiful. With multiple magical moments of laughter, swooning, and smoking hot passion, this historical romance is an absolute must read! Overall, I am officially a Hathaway addict and Cam and Amelia's love story is epic and one that I will never forget! I cannot wait to read devour this entire series! ***The Hathaways***For more reviews/reveals/giveaways visit:
