Product Description
He is everything she wants to avoid...For two years, Catherine Marks has been a paid companion to the Hathaway sisters ? a pleasant position, with one caveat. Her charges' older brother, Leo Hathaway, is thoroughly exasperating. Cat can hardly believe that their constant arguing could mask a mutual attraction. But when one quarrel ends in a sudden kiss, Cat is shocked at her powerful response ? and even more so when Leo proposes a dangerous liaison. She is not at all what she seems...Leo must marry and produce an heir within a year to save his family home. Catherine's respectable demeanour hides a secret that would utterly destroy her. But to Leo, Cat is intriguing and infernally tempting, even to a man resolved never to love again. The danger Cat tried to outrun is about to separate them forever ? unless two wary lovers can find a way to banish the shadows and give in to their desires...

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Catherine Marks has spent the last few years carefully instructing the Hathaway sisters in the finer points of being a lady. As their paid companion, she really enjoys her job and it would be perfect, if not for her charges' older brother - the thoroughly exasperating Leo Hathaway. The pair bicker like cats and dogs but when one quarrel ends in a kiss, everything changes, especially when Leo makes a dangerous proposition.
Leo must marry and produce an heir within the year or he'll lose his family home. Despite her respectable demeanour, Catherine hides a secret that could destroy her and take the Hathaway's with her. But Leo is sure that Cat holds the key to his dilemma and can't help but find her intriguing and infernally tempting. But with Leo determined never to love again and Cat determined to keep her secrets, will the pair ever see eye to eye and realise that they may be perfect for each other?
This is the fourth book in the Hathaway series (after Mine Till Midnight, Seduce Me at Sunrise, Tempt Me at Twilight: The Perfect Moonlit Love Affair and before Love in the Afternoon). While I'm sure you could read this book as a stand alone, I honestly think it'll make more sense and you'll understand the characters and their back stories more if you've read the rest of the Hathaway series before you read this book.
I love a couple that bicker and have been looking forward to Cat and Leo's story for some time. While it didn't completely blow me away, it didn't disappoint either and I liked the way the pair continued their banter even after their relationship changed into something more.
Both characters were rich, interesting and never descended into stereotypes. With the past history of Leo, it would have been easy to take the story to the obvious conflict but I liked the way that the conflict was a little less obvious and therefore more real. It was also lovely to see the other characters from the previous books with Poppy and Harry taking up most of the cameos.
The writing was excellent, the story kept me hooked and I didn't want to put the book down. It's probably not the best Lisa Kleypas I have ever read but I'm still giving this 5 stars as it was so enjoyable that I can't fault it. I would recommend this to fans of the Hathaways' or those who like a rich, satisfying romance.

Married by Morning, was a book I couldn't wait to read as I loved the glimpses we were given of Leo and Ms Marks or Catherine, and it didn't disappoint. It was well written, with good humour but also some tear jerking moment, for good and bad reasons.
I also love this book as we learnt more about the previous characters seen in the other Hathaway series, in particular Poppy and her husband, their book was my favourite Hathaway book ever! Although I won't give away the plot - as i personally find that annoying in reviews - the developing relationship between Leo and Catherine is beautiful but also learning more about each other past and overcoming them made the book and characters much richer.
Another winner for Lisa Kleypas!

Another triumph in the Hathaway family with this swift, enjoyable tale. Kleypas manages to maintain consistency with her protagonists yet again and as ever, the family are on the peripherals, though a little less than in this story's predecessors. The dialogue and interplay between the lovers is cracking as usual as Kleypas excels in this area and the story is entirely fitting for this pair particularly in view of the build up over the last couple of books.
All in all, another excellent read that will certainly not let down any fans of this genre and specifically of the Hathaway series. I very much look forward to the next and final installment. Great stuff!

Disappointing
Was expecting so much yet this book failed to deliver. Characters lacked any real depth, or emotion and the words were strung together just to shuffle the story along to it's end. Read more
