Review: Another Hathaway Hit
Rating: 4 out of 5

I'm a big fan of Kate Harper's Hathaway family and this novella is no exception!The main focus is on Audrey, the third sibling of the Hathaway family, as she tries to decide whether or not to marry the Earl of Allingham.  She wants a love match, like her siblings, and is lucky that she has a family which supports that.  I adore the Hathaway family in general and it was wonderful getting to know Audrey a little better.Allingham comes complete with his own family, including a dragon of a mother, and an illegitimate half-brother who is a serious alpha male rake.  YUM.  Mr. Darius Kirkwood is pretty much estranged from his siblings, thanks to evil mother Judith (who is understandably kind of evil... you don't like her, but she's not a caricature and she's actually kind of a sympathetic character - or would be, if I didn't like Kirkwood so much), but he still looks out for them and when he checks into Audrey Hathaway, wondering what kind of woman his brother is courting, he finds himself attracted.Four months after Audrey turns down Allingtham's offer, serendipity (or awful fate) occurs and this entire cast of characters is snowbound in one small inn together!!! Let the fireworks begin!This isn't my favorite of Kate Harper's books, but it's a nice little addition to the series and I enjoyed a LOT of it.  I only gave it four stars because I would have like to have seen a liiiiittle bit more interaction between Audrey and Kirkwood before they get their HEA and also because I felt that it ended just a tad abruptly... although that might just be me being greedy and wanting to get to see EXACTLY how the two handle the Ton's reaction... and, indeed, if the ton reacted the way they thought would happen.And this novella got me INCREDIBLY excited for That Hathaway Girl, which will be Millie's story... she's my favorite character - even more so after this book in which she is just diabolically cleverly hilarious - and I can't wait to see what kind of man is going to be able to handle her!
