Fiction. Romance. Historical Fiction. HTML: Love in the Afternoon continues the Hathaways series by Victorian romance author Lisa Kleypas. As a lover of animals and nature, Beatrix Hathaway has always been more comfortable outdoors than in the ballroom. Even though she participated in the London season in the past, the classic beauty and free-spirited Beatrix has never been swept away or seriously courted...and she has resigned herself to the fate of never finding love. Has the time come for the most unconventional of the Hathaway sisters to settle for an ordinary man�??just to avoid spinsterhood? Captain Christopher Phelan is a handsome, daring soldier who plans to marry Beatrix's friend, the vivacious flirt Prudence Mercer, when he returns from fighting abroad. But, as he explains in his letters to Pru, life on the battlefield has darkened his soul�??and it's becoming clear that Christopher won't come back as the same man. When Beatrix learns of Pru's disappointment, she decides to help by concocting Pru's letters to Christopher for her. Soon the correspondence between Beatrix and Christopher develops into something fulfilling and deep...and when Christopher comes home, he's determined to claim the woman he loves. What began as Beatrix's innocent deception has resulted in the agony of unfulfilled love�??and a passion that can't be denie… (altro)

I am alone in my principles, but I hate epistolary deception. This series overall is not great and if I'm being honest Lisa Kleypas is not for me. (

I really enjoyed this book and think it was def my favortie book in the whole series. I really enjoyed these characters and the set up! I really think this book worked the best for me out of the whole series. This series def got better as the book i went on. I really liked the hero and he worked for me. I loved the lead women as well and this book just put a smile on my face! (

While this book had several of Kleypas's usual tricks (midway lull, POV from Cam or Amelia, conflicts blown out of proportion, and random violence at the end), Love in the Afternoon was sweet and more layered than expected.

Beatrix and Christopher were well suited to each other. Both were well-rounded instead of walking cliches. Christopher suffers from PTSD, and while that threw him into a rage now and then, but he never threatened Beatrix, unlike some other heroes who think cornering a woman by a garden hedge is romantic. Overall, he carried himself very well. His brooding was believable and not unbearable.

Beatrix's kleptomania also resurfaced briefly, which is always entertaining, but it served a real function in helping bridge the gap between the hero and heroine. Instead of always being the eccentric and childish Hathaway, Beatrix matures in this novel and helps Christopher recover from his time in the war. The result was a cute story with good pacing and fun characters. Everything worked out a little too perfectly at the end, but it fit. There was resolution and healing for both the characters and the readers. This book definitely surpassed the last three Hathaway novels. It's unfortunate readers have to slog through those to get to this gem. (

Take too much time, and time will take you.

When we started to restore the Ramsay estates, we told ourselves the best thing we could do was make a mistake. It meant we would learn something.
