Married by Morning continues Lisa Kleypas’s Hathaways beloved series set in Victorian London. 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 … one quarrel ends in a sudden kiss, Cat is shocked at her powerful response–and even more so when Leo proposes a dangerous liaison.
Leo must marry and produce an heir within a year to save his family home. Catherine’s respectable demeanor 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…

I couldn’t wait to read Leo’s story! He was such a hot mess in the first book of the series; but he was a sympathetic character, so I wanted to know more. Since the first story, he has been slowly putting his life back together. His relationship with “Marks” until now was like oil and water. Here it was absolutely combustible! I loved the snarking …
I enjoyed it even more than the previous books. Leo was absolutely hilarious but also kind, gentle and understanding. Cat Marks was his perfect counterpart – she gave as good as she got when they bantered but also showed her good natured attitude and a core of steel. I really liked short snippets from Leo’s siblings and their spouses. The story …
Catherine Marks has been with the Hathaway household for two years. She very much enjoys her time with the Hathaway sisters, but absolutely dislikes their brother Leo Hathaway. He is rude, arrogant and rubs Cat the wrong way.
Leo knows that there is something that Catherine Marks is hiding and he is hell bent on figuring it out. If he purposely …
I just discovered this author in 2020 and she had become one of my favorite authors. I love all her books! This book was no exception. I loved Leo and Catherine. They both have tragic pasts and fight like cats and dogs. But that turns into passion. The plot was fast paced and engaging. The characters were amazing! A great read!
I love everytime I read this book…
The 4th book of the Hathaways series features the eldest Hathaway sibling, Leo, Lord Ramsay, and Catherine Marks, the governess and companion to Poppy and Beatrix. I was not a big fan of Leo at the beginning of the series. He was at his lowest point of his life, grieving for his fiancée who had died from scarlet fever, so much so that he led a …
I loved Married by Morning so much! The Hathaway family, the world, all the amazing details, and the build, all these special moments and bonding of family and friends, it was all fantastic. This was a wonderful story to get lost in and I enjoyed every single second!
I had reservations over Leo at first, but I got a clue and love the romantic tension and banter between the two characters.
The ultimate enemies to lover story. I’ll let the hero and heroine do the talking.
Below Leo proves how distracting even an innocent seduction can be to ones thought processes.
Leo could barely remember his own name. All …
romantic, erotica, England
This series must be memorable as I have had print copies run away and bought the audio in 2013.
The oldest brother of the rather unusual family seems at times to be wrapped entirely too tightly and at others seems to be a rake of the first order. The adopted sister has loved him since forever but has some awful secrets …
It’s Lisa Kleypas! No need to say more-just get your hands on it and enjoy!
I just adore that Hathaway family! Each member has they’re own way. I have read each of the siblings books and I have to say that Poppy and Harry are my favorite couple.
This book is about Leo and his feelings for Catherine Marks’ his sisters’; Poppy and Beatrix’s governess. Catherine had a hard life and she was hiding out in the Hathaway …
This story kept me listening. I enjoyed the journey as Cat and Leo found love while working beyond their pasts. Cat’s past haunted her as she tried to rise above it. Leo was accepting of her past as his own was not perfect. They made a great couple, and I had tears by the end of this book. The narrator, Rosalyn Landor, did a wonderful job with the …
There is so much to love about the Hathaway series. The characters are thoughtful and lovable. There’s wit and charm and amazing steamy scenes. Each Hathaway is unique and you can see them develop throughout the series. I recommend this series every chance I get.
Great,

My all time favorite series! I loved this book. This is a must read and I recommend reading them all in order. You won’t be disappointed
One of my favorite series
This is my favorite book in the Hathaway series. Watching Leo and Katherine go from enemies to lovers is highly entertaining.
***Spoilers***
I have to be honest and say that this book just wasn’t a hit for me. I was really looking forward to Leo and Cat’s story. After reading Leo suffering the lost of his love Laura. Go into self destruct mode, nearly kill himself in the first book. To really turn his life around starting with the second book I was dying for him to have …
** spoiler alert **
After all the trouble Leo caused his family in the previous books, it was nice to see him get it together and get his own story. I loved the backstory on Catherine and her link to Harry and development of her relationship with Leo’s and Leo’s development of commitment.
