OVERALL: 4.5 stars
I loved how eccentric the Hathaway clan was and how everyone was eventually able to get along. They had an unconventional family for the time but it was perfect for them!
Mine Till Midnight (The Hathaways #1) - 5 stars
Amelia Hathaway wants to make sure everyone in her family is okay. As the eldest of the four girls and a drunken brother, Leo, she takes the responsibility of the family upon herself. As Leo inherits a title and spins himself out of control Amelia removes the family to the country for a little rest. As a chance encounter with Cam, a Roma, follows them into the country Amelia finds it harder to resist the temptation not only of Cam but of the strength and support he possesses.
Amelia was a great character, yes, a little managing and stubborn, but I liked how she interacted with the family and she definitely showed more restraint to her brother than I would have been able to manage.
My favorite scene was with the bees!
I like how Kleypas writes real characters. They have flaws to their personalities but not so much that the reader despises the character (Except for the fact that I would love to have punched Leo in the face [multiple times]).
I was so glad we got to see a story about Cam after reading the Wallflower series! Also, how a lot of the characters in the Wallflower series helped drive the story.
Seduce Me at Sunrise (The Hathaways #2) - 4 stars
After a bout with scarlet fever, Winifred Hathaway has never been the same, she suffers from a weaken constitution. Win will do everything she can to get better to finally be able to be with the man she loves, Kev Merripen, a Roma who came to the Hathaway family as a child after he was left for dead by his clan. When Win comes back and is finally able to say she is better she finds that winning the love of Kev may not be as easy as she thinks.
I liked Win, I think her personality shown through in the first book of the series and continued on to showing her as a stronger character than people expected her to be. I liked how she knew what she wanted and risked everything to have it. Kev, on the other hand, I liked him better in the previous book. His refusal to accept Win's love rubbed me the wrong way, especially since she was practically throwing herself at him.
