They are still recovering from these events when the first book opens. The five Hathaway siblings, Leo, Amelia, Win, Poppy, and Beatrix, were raised in an eccentric academic family, happy in their seclusion when a series of events changed their lives: their father died, their mother followed him, Leo’s beloved fiancée succumbed to scarlet fever, Leo and Win almost did as well, and then Leo inherited a peerage forcing a change in circumstances and location. If Courtney Milan is the reigning romance queen, she inherited the crown from Kleypas when she abdicated the historical genre. So while waiting for the new Julie Anne Long, I have re-read the Hathaway series by Lisa Kleypas. For every new historical romance author discovery, such as Juliana Gray, there is a little pile of disappointment at my bedside.
