My original review in 2013 I am in LOVE with the Hathaways.
My reread review in 2017 Of course I fondly remember snippets of Poppy and Harry's story, which played out so very different from her sisters' HEA.
Well worth revisiting them again. Still 5 stars!
And more family revelations!!
And more Leo, Kev, and Cam ♡ ...more

Historical romance. 5 stars
The Hathaways are too great! And Poppy was no exception. This was a refreshing delight! So funny and romantic - and I can't wait to read Bea's story. If it was a color it would definitely be peach. Light, warm and delightful! ...more

#3 in The Hathaways series
I just love the Hathaways. This book focused on Poppy who has been quiet and unassuming in previous books, but she has such a sweetness and core of steel that I found her particularly attractive. Her plan to marry Michael Beyning goes awry when Harry Rutledge (owner of the hotel where they are staying) discovers her and decides to get involved. He's handsome (of course), strong, intelligent, and a little (maybe more than a little) villainous--exactly my kind of hero. Th ...more
