![]() ![]() If anything is certain, it is that I will certainly be reading more of Kleypas as soon as I possibly can.Īmelia Hathaway is a protagonist I liked even from the first page. ![]() ![]() As such, it was a novel that might as well have been written for me and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. While you would expect plenty of sensual encounters, dashing dukes, and drama resulting from a severe lack of communication from most historical fiction novels, Mine Till Midnight delivers with sweet and adoring love scenes, steady character growth, and inner issues that the characters must face opposed to your run-of-the-mill drama. It's a novel that defies most of the typical norms set on historical fiction, instead taking a less-trodden path and succeeding all the more for it. In reality, Lisa Kleypas' first Hathaways novel is a story of tender relationships, growing family, and understanding love. Although its cover just screams "bodice ripper," don't let that fool you. Mine Till Midnight is a novel that completely took me by surprise. ![]()
