Mine Till Midnight by Lisa Kleypas

hopeful lighthearted relaxing
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes

Tropes:

  • uptight heroine/super chill hero
  • major opposites attract
  • hero pursues heroine hardcore (heroine is the one with trust/commitment issues)
  • kind of marriage of convenience
  • self-made man
  • rich hero
  • strong family component 
  • pretty secluded (not really any parties or the ton in the book)

I just have to mention how much I loved how Cam was with Amelia. Their dynamic was so interesting and requires a lot of trust. I loved seeing how she let him take control when she's a control freak and he was always so gentle with her. They had banter but he was very good at allowing her to be in control while also taking control from her if that makes sense. You could just tell she was comfortable around him emotionally and he never took advantage of that once and I loved it. I also have commitment issues like Amelia and like my independence but Cam pursued her relentlessly. I loved it. I'm also dying to get my hands on Merripen and Win's book because I just know Merripen will bring all the angst and Win reminds me of Jane Bennett from Pride and Prejudice through how kind-hearted she is. I love their relationship already.
