Midnight

Written by Beverly Jenkins

Narrated by Kim Staunton

Beverly Jenkins enthralls romance readers once again with Midnight—a heart-soaring African American historical romance novel set during America’s turbulent Revolutionary War.

In a time of peril, she fears nothing—except the forbidden passions of her heart.

In Boston, revolution is in the wind—yet none would ever suspect Faith Kingston of treason. But under cover of darkness, the beautiful daughter of a Tory tavern owner becomes the notorious spy “Lady Midnight,” passing valuable secrets to the rebels. Dedicated to fighting British tyranny, she’ll let nothing distract her—until a dark, mesmerizing stranger enters her life.

A reckless, worldly adventurer, Nicholas Grey has returned to troubled Massachusetts seeking revenge for the death of his rebel father. He suspects a local innkeeper, but it’s the man’s breathtaking, ebony-skinned daughter who has truly captured his interest. Nicholas burns for the sensuous, secretive lady—and Faith cannot mask her own blazing desires. But when destiny unites their causes, the passion that draws Midnight into Nicholas’s arms is as dangerous as it is glorious—and it could spell disaster for them both.

Reviews for Midnight

[bellekellr · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I thought this book was good, but not great. I think Indigo spoiled me lol.

[earthsinger · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I quite like Josephine Cox, but this book disappointed. It promised a good mystery, but became banal fairly quickly. I didn't like many of the characters, most of them very one-dimensional. There were lots of proof-reading errors in the later part of the book, characters names transposed etc, which was annoying, and whatever happened to the horrible Molly was left to the imagination.

Jack and Molly's romance is under threat from his continued nightmares. Her insistance that he seeks help from a professional sets them on a path that will lead to heartbreak and disaster for one and a new love for the other.
