Since I’ve been reading historical romances lately, I decided to catch up a bit with Lisa Kleypas. In the past few months, I’ve read It Happened One Autumn, Mine until Midnight, Seduce Me at Sunrise, Tempt Me at Twilight, and A Wallflower Christmas. Below are ratings and quick thoughts about each one.

It Happened One Autumn: I absolutely loved Kleypas’s depiction of Marcus, who is completely infatuated with Lillian and is at the same time baffled by that infatuation. Their chemistry is hot, hot, hot. 4.5 out of 5.

Mine until Midnight: I’ve had this ARC for a while—I believe I got it in San Francisco—and I’m just now reading it. It’s a fantastic read, with a hero who understands how much Amelia needs to have someone to lean on every now and then. I loved the scene where that is clear (I won’t say more to avoid giving spoilers). 4.5 out of 5.

Seduce Me at Sunrise: My least favorite of the books I read in this marathon, but still a nice installment. I find myself rereading bits of this, but they aren’t the romance. Instead, they are specific scenes between Cam and Kev. If you’ve read the book, you know which ones I mean. The connection between these characters is exceptionally well done. 4 out of 5.

Tempt Me at Twilight: My favorite of the Hathaway series so far. When Harry interfered in Poppy’s romance, I initially wondered if this would be a bit too much like Prince of Dreams, but the story plays out differently. And it fantastic to see Harry working to win her back. I actually listened to this one on audio, which was different. I often listen to audiobooks but not generally as a first read. 5 out of 5.

A Wallflower Christmas: A very nice revisit of the Wallflowers with a heartwarming romance in the bargain. 4.5 out of 5.

I still need to read Scandal in Spring (I don’t have that one), and then I’ll be caught up.
