Midnight's Wild Passion

By Anna Campbell

“Truly, deeply romantic.”
—Eloisa James

“Anna Campbell is an amazing, daring new voice in romance.”
—Lorraine Heath

The extraordinary Anna Campbell is making her mark in the world of historical romance fiction. New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Laurens calls her dark and captivating stories of love and passion, “Regency noir—different and intriguing,” while USA Today bestseller Kathryn Smith raves that, “Anna Campbell writes with the kind of intense emotion and dark passion that entraps the reader and refuses to let them go until the last page is read.” With Midnight’s Wild Passion, she delights readers once again with a richly emotional story of vengeance, passion, and redemption—as a notorious seducer’s plans to ruin the daughter of his enemy are thwarted by his intended victim’s guardian, a beautiful, worldly wise lady with a weakness for handsome rogues. Fans of Lisa Kleypas and early Catherine Coulter take note: Anna Campbell is definitely your cup of hot and spicy tea!

Anna's books are a treat. Always can be relied upon for some luscious, emotional turmoil.

At first, I did not like Antonia at all. Sure, I felt that she was acting appropriately when she said that she hated all rakes, ergo hating Lord Ranelaw however, there was just something about her that I just did not like. That is, until the end when I found out what she went through when she was disowned by her father.

I was a little surprized about what Antonia went through when she ran away with Johnny (the rake who broke her heart 10 years ago) and I was also puzzled why her brother didn't even bother to find her. I would have thought that a brother who was close to the sister would not take his father's word that his sister was dead without the body, right?

I didn't think that Lord Ranelaw was as tortured a hero as the others that I have read, but I empathized with him. There was just something about him that caught my attention and made me want to finish the book. I especially loved the part where Nicholas didn't even fight during the duel with Johnny.

Nicholas, the Marquess of Ranelaw is out for revenge for the one man who ruined his sister by ruining this man's daughter. Only there is one person that stands in his way, and that is Cassie's companion Miss Antonia Smith, who is very protective of her distant cousin. After being burned herself she knows how tempting rakes can be and is determined to make sure that the cruel and painful moment. However Antonia has always had a weakness for rakes....and there is one in particular that she knows would only cause a repeat to her past. However the more persistent Nicholas gets in his pursuit of Cassie...the harder it gets to resist his blackguard advances. Antonia knows how dangerous he is to her...but she can't resist the passion he brings out in her.Midnights Wild Passion is written by Anna Campbell and I haven't read any of her books in quite a while and I knew once I was fifty pages into the book that I would just fall in love with everything about this book... The characters were so genuine and portrayed in a way that I felt I could relate with them. The plot was also full of surprises and intensity, and the romance was completely satisfying till the very last page. Definitely worth it!!! I was totally seduced by Midnight's Wild Passion!!!

Not bad, but the hero was an ass most of the time. When will I realize I hate revenge romances? They really don't do much for me. Nicholas is a true rake bent on ruining the daughter of the man who ruined his half sister twenty years earlier. He didn't count on falling in lust with her dragon-like duenna, who was ruined once herself! See a pattern here? Tons of inconsistencies inside the head of the hero that drove me nuts. Does he want to get revenge or not? Still, the steamy parts made up for the implausible plotline.

I normally love Anna Campbell's books but something was missing from this one. However, despite that, her writing is always so strong that it was an enjoyable read. I think the characters were what was most disappointing to me about this book. I wanted to like Nicholas, the hero, but felt like I didn't get a complete picture of him until the end. Nicholas seemed mean at the beginning of the book or at least portrayed as mean despite contradictory actions. He seemed like a caricature of a rake and I had a hard time believing some of his actions. Antonia could have been interesting and had sparks of interest in her life but there were too many gaps. Not sure how to explain this but the book was just missing something in the hero and heroine that could have made it spectacular.
