Plus, Poppy needs and wants some degree of independence from her family in order to create her own family unit. Poppy is intelligent and can talk about anything and that is one of the things that have put her in the shelf after three London seasons. Poppy hails from a family that is so different, all eccentrics, from two older sisters who are married to gypsies to a younger sister who adopts every single lost animal in the vicinity. I actually thought this book was a very mature story which dealt more with Harry and Poppy’s insecurities and need to be loved and cherished than anything else. This is a different Lisa Kleypas as there is less sensual tension, less foreplay than usual and I think that this is a good thing. The fact is that the characters are lovable, both of them. It doesn’t matter that the plot is not the most original, it does not matter that things evolved way too fast. The end.īut the gist of it is this: Lisa Kleypas can write characters. Trust issues ensue, until they both realise they have fallen in love.
He manages to manipulate events so that the guy is eliminated from the race, proceeds to compromise the heroine and they need to get married. The heroine, Poppy Hathaway is in love with someone else – someone she thinks will be the perfect husband in her pursuit for normalcy after growing up in a family of eccentrics. The hero, Harry Rutledge, is a ruthless, manipulative entrepreneur who as soon as the heroine crosses his path, decides he wants her, at any cost. Ok, so the basic plot is one that we all have read a thousand times over. But if there is one thing that this woman can write is Historical Romance and I am oh, so glad that we are back on track with another great instalment in the Hathaway’s series. She is one of my favourite romance novelists and after her previous effort ( Smooth Talking Stranger) disappointed me, I was a tad worried. I am MOST relieved to report that Tempt me at Twilight is a good Kleypas.
Why did I read the book: I love Lisa Kleypas’ books and I love this series in particular. So when Michael breaks off their engagement and Harry makes his move, Poppy quickly learns that her life is destined to be anything but normal – filled with wild, passionate days and steamy nights … What Harry wants, Harry gets – and Harry wants Poppy, like he has never wanted a woman in his life.
Harry is wealthy and powerful, a collector of secrets, with hobbies more dangerous than Poppy could imagine. That is, until she meets a mysterious hotel owner, Harry Rutledge – the most complicated and dangerous man she has ever met. Summary: Engaged to the very sensible Michael Bayning, Poppy Hathaway is content with her lot – having longed for a life of normality. Stand alone or series: Book 3 in the Hathaway series, but can be read as stand alone
