Captivating.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Meet Me At Midnight (Paperback)
It's true, this book has a loathsome hero but if you can hang in there long enough, the book provides satisfying twists and a rewarding conclusion.

Does Love Exist? A Must Read Find out!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Meet Me At Midnight (Paperback)
A rake, a rogue - one of the "Bane of the Ton." Can heartless Raphael sway Julia away from her handsome caring fiancée? Sensible, perfect Julia - can she abandon all she was taught and fight convention? This wonderful tale paints a complete picture of a tortured man and the woman who fights to make him whole. Of course he fights her the entire time. Julia hopes to gain her freedom after a stunning betrayal involving an untimely wager and some "not so nice" friends. Raphael's tormented upbringing really makes you understand him. Not that you forgive him at first, but you can understand where he comes from. I had to force myself to put the book down and get some sleep. If I had turned two more pages, I would have been up all night. It has been a long time since I read a book that captured me from start to finish. The people, the love scenes, the settings are so well written-I truly was swept away. Do not miss reading this!!

Disturbing "romance",
By Kathryn J. Lizee (Berea, KY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Meet Me At Midnight (Paperback)
The basic premise is this:Raphael, a Marquee who had a terrible father who treated him as if he were ...(no one ever knows for sure), is so bored with life that he and his cronies decide to prove love doesn't exist by breaking up the season's pair of lovebirds, Simon and Julia. My problems with Julia: Well, she doesn't have the backbone to tell her mother what color dress to wear but decides to sneak out to sleep with Raphael? I don't buy that at all. Further problems with Julia...how could she forgive Raphael? He treats her like DIRT...I mean, it's awful. He's a jerk and still, she just goes on being the loving wife. He shuts her out of his life over and over again and still, she acts as if he's so wonderful and pines away for him. Raphael is just the worst kind of man....when he finally realizes how he's treated Julia, he reverts back to his actions when he was deceiving her to "prove" he's changed. To me, that just shows he has no imagination where romance is concerned. The actions, such as the white rose in her seat, when he was trying to seduce her for the wager's sake, are the same things he does when he tries to reconcile. And his friends...Ugh, don't even get me started. The only redeemable one is Martindale. The rest are practically rapists. Ugh. In particular, the fiend that Raphael assigns to Laura, Julia's sister. He nearly rapes her in his carriage! This book really made me sick.
