I totally agree with you Jane about the loose ends and motivations of the villian Dr. Harrow. I felt like there was some devious reason he wanted Win enough to poison Kev. I guess one could assume he just wanted to marry again to claim his wife’s dowry but I don’t like to assume! In my pondering I also thought that 2 years was more than enough time for Dr. Harrow to have fallen in love with her but in light of what he did to the last Mrs. Harrow and the fact that he never intended to have children with her, which is something he knew she wanted, makes that reasoning not logical. Bottom line I wish his motivations had been clearer.

Also, I agree with those readers who are impressed with the depth of character that LK has given Leo. He was so selfish in MTM and has really grown in this book. He brings such humor to his scenes and his interaction with his siblings, Cam and Merripen are priceless. In fact, the entire Hathaway family is so well-written. The few scenes that Kev and Win had in Mine Til Midnight stole the book from Cam and Amelia. Yet here, Cam and Amelia somehow improve as a couple. I have to disagree with Jane – I enjoyed all the scenes with Cam and Amelia. I thought Cam really balances out Amelia’s need to solve every family problem.

Exactly! I have every one of her historical ebooks, but they stopped after the Wallflower series. Very frustrating.

The other thing I loved was Leo, the older brother. I was surprised by how much I liked Leo in this book as I absolutely hated him in the previous book Mine Till Midnight. He really did steal the show with his dry humor. I especially loved the dialog he gave Merripen aboud 2/3rd through the book, after Merripen had a night of drinking. It showed a serious side to Leo that I imagine we will see more of in his book. I’ll have to eat my hat, but I am now looking forward to Leo’s book. I couldn’t imagine ever wanting to read his book after MTM.

I’ve heard that “Seduce Me at Sunrise” reads a bit like “Mine Till Midnight, Part 2.” On the other hand, since “Mine Till Midnight” left a number of loose ends dangling, that might not be such a bad thing. I’ll probably check this one out since the reaction to it seems to be more positive than negative. I’ve yet to read a really unfavorable review of SMAS, and the tidbits involving Leo look promising at the very least.

I thought it was an excellent addition in this case. They are cliche’s for a reason and if there is a good enough reason – they work!

And I loved the roles that Leo, Cam and Amelia played. In so many cases with series, previous characters just kind of stand around and don’t really contribute that much to the story. I didn’t find that the case in this one. I read MTM and while I quite enjoyed it, I didn’t ‘take’ to Cam as much as some of her other heroes (surprisingly) but I really enjoyed him in this book and went back and reread MTM and appreciated him ever so much more. I mentioned in my review that Kev plays the dark side of love and Cam the light side.
And I also liked seeing Leo was starting to heal somewhat after his almost suicide in MTM.
I agree with you though in looking forward to Leo’s story *BG*
