I couldn't get enough of Kev and Win! They were fantastic characters. Lisa Kleypas did it again with Seduce Me at Sunrise. It was an amazing read!

5 out of 5 stars
I adored this! I loved Kev and Win’s story, all the
emotion and drama, and the wonderful world that the author created. I had a
really hard time putting it down!
I love a grumpy hero and this had it in spades. Learning
about Kev, his past, and what he felt for Win made me really understand him and
all that gruffness. He had great character development. He was so sweet and
devoted to this family even though he certainly wouldn't want to be called sweet.
He had such a hard past that made my heart hurt for him. I loved Win, how much
she overcame so much, and how strong and determined she was. I really enjoyed
the push and pull they had with one another. There was a fantastic build to
their relationship and it had a wonderful, slow burn happening.
I loved all the character connections from other stories and
getting to see more of the Hathaway’s, especially Leo. I like what was
introduced for him and how much he seems to have changed. I love his roguish
attitude and swagger. I'm really excited for his story! I also, loved, adored,
couldn't get enough of the relationship between Cam and Kev. I was filled with
so many questions and love the connection that was revealed and getting to know
all about their past. I really liked getting updates on Cam and Amelia and getting
to see more of Poppy and Beatrix's emerging personalities.
This story was so entertaining with these great characters
and dynamic relationships. I loved all the emotion, all the drama (oh the
drama!), the tension, want, need and love. It was just a fantastic story!

Technically these books are standalone's so you can read them in any order you want. The stories do have interconnected characters so it was suggested to me to start at the very beginning with The Wallflowers series. This way you can see all the characters grow and have kids. I am so glad I decided to do this, I am loving the build, the overall character development and the flow of the world as it grows. If you are an "in order" person like me, I suggest the following reading order:
I absolutely adore Lisa Kleypas. She's one of my favorite historical romance authors. Do you have a favorite historical romance author? Let me know!
