I usually really enjoy Kleypas but I struggled with this one. all of the references to romani culture felt too vague to feel well researched and meaningful.

also didn’t really like him walking around telling everyone they were engaged before she knew!! that made him unlike able to me.

Okay I wrote a REALLY LONG REVIEW AND ACCIDENTALLY DELETED IT. Basically:

• The more I think about this book the more I liked it - I appreciate the length of time it takes Amelia to reveal her personality and trust Cam enough to rely on him.
• Cam has everything a Kleypas hero should! I love how determined he is to care for Amelia and help her family.
• Not clear to me how much research Kleypas actually did into Romany culture at this time and I will say Merripen's role in the Hathaway family makes me feel WEIRD. 
• The haunting was so unexpected and genuinely moving??
• The sex was PERFECT. 
• I look forward to the rest of the series but be warned this book deals with some dark themes!

Not a huge fan of the hero and his ‘possessiveness’ and some of the other characters sort of lacked charm so just came off a bit annoying. 

It was interesting to read a non-traditional Roma hero though and I do like Amelia and her endless suffering as the eldest daughter.
