Cam is suffering from ennui when Amelia comes, with her slightly managing ways, looking for her brother. His “good luck curse” has given him riches beyond his needs or desires, despite all efforts to lose his material goods. Amelia is trying to keep her family together and her brother safe and unexpectedly finds aid from the half-gypsy factotum of Jenner’s Gambling Club, Cam Rohan.Ĭam is caught between two worlds – the world of the Roma, which he was forced to abandon as a child, and that of the decadent upper class.

Once a talented architect, Ramsay has combined severe depression with the wastrel lifestyle of the ton – drinking, gambling, whoring – to such extremes that they will likely put him in an early grave. Our heroine, Amelia Hathaway, is the spinster sister of the new Lord Ramsay. Though not technically linked to her Wallflower series, this book includes visits from some of the characters featured in those books. While this book isn’t quite as fantastic as some of her older books, Mine Till Midnight is a solid contribution to Kleypas’ impressive backlist. A solid half of her books are on my DIK list, so when I got the chance to review her new historical, I was thrilled. Lisa Kleypas was one of the first romance authors I read and is one of the few from my early days I still read voraciously.
