Tempt Me at Twilight

A Novel

By: Lisa Kleypas

Narrated by: Rosalyn Landor

A flirtation between a manipulative genius and an eccentric beauty leads to scandal in this revised and updated edition of the third book of legendary New York Times bestselling author Lisa Kleypas's popular Victorian romance series featuring the unforgettable Hathaways

Though she adores her quirky family, Poppy longs for a conventional life. But nothing, especially love, is ordinary when you’re a Hathaway . . .

During a stay at the magnificent Rutledge Hotel in London, effervescent Poppy Hathaway captures the attention of Harry Rutledge himself. With his brilliant mind and ruthless nature, Harry does whatever it takes to get what he wants. Fascinated by Poppy’s sweetness and charm, he comes up with a devious plot to steal her from another man and marry her himself.

At first, Poppy is charmed by the handsome genius, who rescues her from scandal with an offer of marriage. But when she discovers how her new husband betrayed her, Poppy flees the marriage.

Now it’s up to Harry to prove he can change his ways. Only by opening his heart, and loving Poppy with all the tenderness he’s capable of, will he convince her to give him another chance. And despite Poppy’s reluctance to forgive him, she realizes her shrewd, sexy husband may just turn out to be the man of her dreams.

Love this story

The Hathaways may be my favorite family- funny, smart and so supportive of each other. Landon is a terrific reader,

I LOVED this book.

I have not laughed as much while listening to a novel. It is a well written story with well developed characters. The romance is sweet and it left me feeling good and hopeful. I like both lead characters. This is the first book that I have heard from this series and I will surely be purchasing the others. The narrator was excellent. Amongst the best !

I enjoyed as a standalone

I haven't yet read any of this series. However, having gotten this on a 2 for 1 sales I read it anyways. I enjoyed it for the most part. It did go at a very fast pace as far as the plot goes and I think there could have been a little more investment in the development in the relationship between Poppy and Harry. But, it wasn't a dealbreaker.The secondary characters were thoroughly enjoyable and I look forward to reading the others in the series. Especially the next one, as we were left with a cliffhanger about it!
Overall I was pleased. It was worth a 2/1 sale but I'm not sure it would be worth a full credit.

Sooo good!

Another lovely read! I loved Harry and Poppy together! I am loving this series! 🤗

The best execution of grumpy-sunshine romance

“Always trust a man who can handle a hedgehog.”
After two lackluster books, here’s where the series won me back. Better humor, more time with the Hathaways, and one of my favorite romance tropes: the iceman and the sunny, precocious lady whose Pollyanna attitude thaws his heart.

“Even if you have a flaw here or there…”
“Flaws?”
“I love those best of all.”
Also, excellent groveling and declarations of love after the big gallump realizes what he nearly lost.
Groundwork is laid for Beatrix’s and Leo’s HEAs for the next two books, making this my preferred starting point for the series. You won’t miss much skipping books 1 and 2, except a lot of Leo hitting rock bottom and an overemphasis on the Romany and superstitious mumbo jumbo.
