Half-Gypsy, Half-Irish, Cam Rohan live between two worlds and is accepted by none. He's made a fortune running a gentleman's gaming club, but doesn't want the money. He's on the verge of giving up his job and looking for his gypsy family when he meets Amelia Hathaway. Amelia's brother, Leo, has just been given a title and a small fortune. Leo is drinking and gambling it away. Amelia is trying to keep a roof over her family's heads and Leo out of trouble. Cam and Amelia become friends and are continually drawn together as he helps her and her family.

This is the first book in Lisa Kleypas' Hathaway series and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Amelia and Cam are both strong characters. Amelia is a mother hen, taking care of her wastrel brother and younger sisters as best she can. She takes on every problem with no thoughts of herself. Cam is the strong, caring type of hero. He falls for Amelia and wants to be there to help her solve her family's problems. The secondary characters in this book are outstanding. We had cameos from several of the characters from the Wallflower series. It was fun to see them again. But my favorites were fragile Winnifred Hathaway and quiet Merripen, a gypsy who was rescued by the Hathaway family several years ago and never left. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
