Married by Morning continues Lisa Kleypas's Hathaways beloved series set in Victorian London. For two years, Catherine Marks has been a paid companion to the Hathaway sistersâ??a pleasant position, with one caveat. Her charges' older brother, Leo Hathaway, is thoroughly exasperating. Cat can hardly believe that their constant arguing could mask a mutual attraction. But when one quarrel ends in a sudden kiss, Cat is shocked at her powerful responseâ??and even more so when Leo proposes a dangerous liaison. Leo must marry and produce an heir within a year to save his family home. Catherine's respectable demeanor hides a secret that would utterly destroy her. But to Leo, Cat is intriguing and infernally tempting, even to a man resolved never to love again. The danger Cat tried to outrun is about to separate them foreverâ??unless two wary lovers can find a way to banish the shadows and give in to their desire… (altro)
I think this series has finally hit it stride and I really enjoyed this one. I loved leo as the mai character and loved his romacnce. Leo is such a damanged character and i really loved the governess roamace in this book. It was a super quick listen and I also loved seeing all the side characters as well!! This book was super streamy but had a great plot, def a new favortie of the series!! ( )

This entire book was so contrived. Every time Cat & Leo were together, every scrape they got into, every argument and disaster was so forced and predictable that this book was dull from start to finish. Married by Morning is part of a series, but since someone might jump into it at any time, Kleypas had to reiterate the family's history. After one's read the first three Hathaway books, this just becomes painful. At least twice in every book, we hear about Leo's first heartbreak and Win's illness. At least once in every book, Cam and Amelia get it on and several times, Beatrix has a new animal but no new depth to her character. Not only is this book dull, it's lazy.
Obviously, romances have a happy ending, but they're interesting because they answer how a couple gets together. In this book, the "how" was just constant bombardment by Leo, and that was obvious from the last pages of the previous book. As a result, Leo felt less complex than he had been in the previous books, and I was disappointed. His character has been beaten like a dead horse.
I've read better by Kleypas, making this all the more disappointing. It's just a bunch of tropes thrown together with no nuances: reformed rake, kidnapping, lecherous old man, lots of pointless sex, the shy woman being more beautiful than the overt beauty, and overly protective male characters who are terrible people and know their friends are just as terrible so they won't let them date their sisters. I get this is genre fiction, and it doesn't have to be serious all the time, but does it have to be so trite? No thank you. ( )
Chiunque avesse mai letto un romanzo sapeva bene che le istitutrici erano di norma creature miti e dimesse.

"I hate arguing with a Hathaway. You all say something lunatic as if it's perfectly logical."
"You were a fraud as an aspiring prostitute. As a proper and well-mannered lady who holds an irresistible attraction for ferrets, you're completely authentic."
"Marriage would change hardly anything between us, except that we would end our arguments in a much more satisfying way. And of course I would have extensive legal rights over your body, your property, and all of your individual freedoms, but I don't see what's so alarming about that."
Harry gave her a wry glance. "It's exactly what I would do in his position. Of course I don't approve."
