Remember when we first met the Hathaway family as peripheral characters in the glorious Wallflower books? We’ve loved them ever since and can’t believe Love in the Afternoon features the last unattached family member. Simply put, these are Regency romances that will have you smiling the whole way through – everything you love in a historical romance, Lisa Kleypas delivers! In lieu of ‘methinks’, ‘wethinks’ it’s time to go back and re-read this series again! As a lover of animals and nature, Beatrix Hathaway has always been more comfortable outdoors than in the ballroom. Even though she participated in the London season in the past, the classic beauty and free-spirited Beatrix has never been swept away or seriously courted and she has resigned herself to the fate of never finding love.
Captain Christopher Phelan is a handsome, daring soldier who plans to marry Beatrix's friend, the vivacious flirt Prudence Mercer, when he returns from fighting abroad. But, as he explains in his letters to Pru, life on the battlefield has darkened his soul and it's becoming clear that Christopher won't come back as the same man. When Beatrix learns of Pru's disappointment, she decides to help by concocting Pru's letters to Christopher for her. Soon the correspondence between Beatrix and Christopher develops into something fulfilling and deep and when Christopher comes home, he's determined to claim the woman he loves. What began as Beatrix's innocent deception has resulted in the agony of unfulfilled love and a passion that can't be denied.
Excerpt: His gaze went to her parted lips, lingering until she felt it like a caress. Her heart laboured to supply blood to her nerveless limbs. Every breath caused her body to lift up against his, a teasing friction of firm flesh and clean, warm linen.
Beatrix was transfixed by the subtle changes in his face, the heightening colour, the silver brightness of his eyes.
She wondered if he were going to kiss her.
And a single word flashed through her mind.
Please.
Meet the Hathaways in Mine Till Midnight, Seduce me at Sunrise, Tempt me at Twilight and Married by Morning. |
