Mine 'Till Midnight (wowsers!!)

Summary: When Amelia Hathaway's brother disappears into the gambling hells and brothels of London she turns to half-Gypsy club owner Cam Rohan (from The Devil in Winter) to find him. Afterward, Amelia takes her family to their newly inherited country house. Surprisingly Cam is visiting their neighbor and his interest in Amelia leads him to continually call at their home. Though the family seems eccentric, Cam is utterly enchanted and begins wooing Amelia with gentleness, hoping to bring out her spirit of adventure. His care for her emotional and physical well-being combined with his help in dealing with a bee problem and restoring the ramshackle estate endears him to Amelia and her sisters. However, it is his promise to sweep her away at midnight into a sensual world where she is cherished and carefree that enables her to allow Cam deep into her heart and her family. Somehow Cam heals the family's wounds and when an ex-suitor starts snooping around hunting a priceless treasure, he is there to save them.

~*~ My Review ~*~

I finished reading Lisa Kleypas' "Mine Till Midnight" a few days ago and all I can say is...wow. It was just as good as I thought it would be. Lisa Kleypas is an excellent writer whose storyline was creative and whose characters were superb! I fell head over heels for Cam Rhoan (our leading man)! Cam is everything you could want out of your main male character (and yet is different from most stories' "heroes" because he is not the most saught after - in fact he's often times shunned due to his heritage, he's rich - but material items mean nothing to him, and although he does do his best to convince our leading lady to be his, the thing that makes readers love him most is how he auotmatically goes out of the way to comfort, protect, and aid the woman he loves simply because he loves her and not as a way of 'wooing' her.) Cam has definitely been added to my list of "fictional loves" (the fictional male characters who win my heart lol) and I daresay he's made the lists of every other woman who has read this novel.
