Synopsis courtesy of Goodreads

When an unexpected inheritance elevates her family to the ranks of the aristocracy, Amelia Hathaway discovers that tending to her younger sisters and wayward brother was easy compared to navigating the intricacies of the ton. Even more challenging: the attraction she feels for the tall, dark, and dangerously handsome Cam Rohan.

Wealthy beyond most men’s dreams, Cam has tired of society’s petty restrictions and longs to return to his “uncivilized” Gypsy roots. When the delectable Amelia appeals to him for help, he intends to offer only friendship—but intentions are no match for the desire that blindsides them both. But can a man who spurns tradition be tempted into that most time-honored arrangement: marriage? Life in London society is about to get a whole lot hotter.

Review

I've lost count of how many times I've read this book. As a series, this is my favorite Lisa Kleypas series. And this is one of my favorite books in it. 

Amelia is a fantastic heroine. She's so strong and independent. She's also a wonderful and caring sister. But she isn't a push-over with her family or men. Cam is also a great hero. He's intriguing and a little mysterious with the whole half gypsy/Roma thing.

I love the romance between Amelia and Cam. They balance each other very well. They're also a great example of what Ms. Kleypas does best: social differences. It is not normal or accepted in society for these two to be together. This is a reality they have to deal with. While this is a romance with a happily ever after it doesn't avoid harsh truths.

Oh, and the sequel bait. I forgot how much there was for the next book. There's so much angst between the next couple.

Thanks for reading!
