Kleypas highlights Harry and Poppy, integrates the other Hathaways, Cam and Kev while maintaining the focus firmly on the main couple. New secondary characters were introduced with a light touch and did not overwhelm the storyline. However, the storyline pertaining to Leo's need to marry and produce an heir within a year seemed to be almost a non-issue and I thought was thoroughly underdeveloped. There's a bit of suspense that goes with Cat's storyline that I thought worked well as it afforded her the opportunity for closure.
The witty dialogue, sensual tension and passion between Cat and Leo were the most enjoyable parts of this book for me. Marks who gives Leo a run for his money, emerges as a vulnerable and likable young woman with trust issues and a past history that also contribute to the conflict in this story. I'll say it here, I adored Leo!Ĭat, although still the snippy Ms. Leo emerges as a wickedly passionate, irreverent and fun character full of determination and, as we already know, a sad and flawed history that contributes to the conflict. This kiss serves as a catalyst, the sensual dance begins between Leo and Cat - the thrust and retreat - and the real characters emerge. Everyone knows that there's a possibility for more to their bickering, fighting, and mutual torturing except them - until they share a mind-blowing kiss in the garden. These two people dislike each other first, mistrust each other always and bicker at all times. The story of Leo Hathaway and Catherine Marks is really developed throughout the series. Kleypas took those Hathaway characteristics, wrapped them up and gave them to us in Leo.
The Hathaways were captured in all their glory by Kleypas - their eccentricities, capability for love and manipulation, sense of humor, vulnerabilities, family concerns and passions. The danger Cat tried to outrun is about to separate them forever - unless two wary lovers can find a way to banish the shadows and give in to their desires…When I finished reading Married by Morning by Lisa Kleypas, I closed the book with a smile and sigh thinking that this installment is a great addition to the Hathaway series. But to Leo, Cat is intriguing and infernally tempting, even to a man resolved never to love again. Catherine’s respectable demeanor hides a secret that would utterly destroy her. Leo must marry and produce an heir within a year to save his family home.
But when one quarrel ends in a sudden kiss, Cat is shocked at her powerful response - and even more so when Leo proposes a dangerous liaison. Cat can hardly believe that their constant arguing could mask a mutual attraction. Her charges’ older brother, Leo Hathaway, is thoroughly exasperating. For two years, Catherine Marks has been a paid companion to the Hathaway sisters - a pleasant position, with one caveat.
