Of course, it's not all just about Kev and Win, Leo's stay in France as Win's chaperone did wonders for his health as well. Fortunately, there aren't any wilting violets in the Hathaway family and the siblings are more than willing to give the recalcitrant couple a shove in the right direction. However, even when she returns healthy, Kev still remains reluctant to commit. Win, still recovering from scarlet fever, is willing to spend two years in France under medical treatment to prove to Kev thar she is well enough to marry. Kev, given his known background, feels he is in no way worthy of Win's affection. Win and Kev have the long unrequited love situation, ever since the Hathaway family took Kev in as a boy. The second book in the Hathaway series features Win and Kev, although the other family members are satisfactorily present as well. Why not a lower rating? Because I love the series and liked the glimpses of the other characters. I doubt that I'll ever pick this one up again Lastly and I don't usually find this with this author but there were a lot of steamy scenes (not too explicit) but they didn't further the story so they seemed like 'fillers'. As for the h, she flung herself at him from beginning to end and it was awful to read - it's not a plotline I like at all. What happens? He wavers again because she 'lied' to him. Worse still is that after he finally 'commits' to her - she makes him promise not to go back on his commitment. Later he pulls a caveman move but it was too late for me. He compromises her and publically rejects her by not offering for her. He never feels good enough and rejects her over and over again to the point of being really painful to read. Ms Kleypas tries to soften the blows to come by telling us how the H has always loved her. I didn't like the way the H treated the h at all.
There are loads of reviews so I'm not going to rehash the plot. I wasn't wrong because it didn't improve with re-reading.
I've been re-reading the Hathaways and I remembered that I didn't love this one.
