"A Fun Regency Romp with a Vampire Twist!"
Caroline Cabot is doing all she can to keep her sisters
afloat financially. Taking up the reins when her parents
passed on eight years ago, as the oldest she feels
responsible for sisters Vivienne and Portia. And since
Caroline is now considered well on the shelf at the ripe
age of 24 she decides the smartest thing to do is to let
Vivienne make her debut in London and hopefully return
with
a wealthy husband that can save them from their dyer
straights. It doesn't take long before Vivienne does indeed catch
the attention of a rather wealthy Earl. Unfortunately it
is
rumored throughout the ton that he is a vampire. Not one
to
fall for flights of fancy and silly notions Caroline tries
to write it off. Unfortunately, Portia, her youngest
sister
who lives for the dramatic, won't let it go and now they
have been invited by the Earl to attend a midnight
dinner. From here the book takes flight in wonderful states of
misdirection and humor. And Caroline, who has all the best
intentions of either giving her blessing or saving her
sister, is finding it harder and harder to resist Lord
Trevelyan's magnetism. After Midnight was a fun and fascinating read. Teresa
Medeiros manages to keep the plot twisting through the
whole book. Her words are wonderfully descriptive giving
every impression of a vampire in their midst. I truly had
a
hard time putting this book down. I thoroughly enjoyed the
dynamics between the sisters. Their lightness and humor
contrasted well with dark seriousness of Lord Trevelyan.
And I must say Ms. Medeiros knows how to tighten the knot
of sexual tension as the book unravels and the truth is
finally revealed.
