“I first encountered Cam in Devil in Winter as the manager of Jenner's Gambling Club and since then, he became embedded in my mind. I thought that Kleypas will write a story of him and Daisy Bowman because there was a scene with the two of them in the Devil in Winter and I felt there chemistry. Obviously, I was wrong because Daisy got her own story with another man in Scandal in Spring which was the finale of Kleypas' The Wallflower Series. Anyway, Mine Till Midnight is a very sexy novel. The love scenes were hot but I couldn't really feel the chemistry between Amelia and Cam. Quite ironic because there were a lot of steamy scenes between the two but their connection didn't really extend beyond the bedroom. Sure, Cam became Amelia's shoulder to lean and cry on everytime a Hathaway sibling is in trouble but I couldn't really feel their magic!
What interests me more is the connection between Win, Amelia's sickly younger sister and their gypsy companion, Merripen whose love story develops in the second book of the series, Seduce Me At Sunrise which was better and which I read months ago (there goes the bias!). It was also a delight to read again about Sebastian St. Vincent and Evie Jenner, the main characters of Devil in Winter (my very first Kleypas' novel). Their chemistry is still very alive and I couldn't help but grin everytime they were mentioned in the book. Overall, Mine Till Midnight is an OK book - not good but not bad either. Is it worth buying? Not really, other Kleypas' historical novels are better! ”
