Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

When his young son, Andrew, is grievously injured in a carriage accident, Lord Adam Lightfoot is willing to do anything to save him--including making a deal with the devil. Adam summons up the ruler of hell, who tells him that he will keep Andrew from dying in return for Adam's immortal soul. What Adam doesn't know is that at the same time Caitlin O'Brien, "the Irish Angel," has been asked by Adam's staff to try and heal their young master. In addition to being a skilled healer, Caitlin is gifted with the "sight," and once she recognizes Andrew from the terrible visions she has been experiencing, Caitlin realizes that Adam is not the only one in danger. A hero whose past experiences with the brutality of war almost push him past the point of redemption discovers the power of faith and love in this beautifully written and emotionally compelling romance. An excellent choice for libraries where Mary Jo Putney and Laura Kinsale are popular. John Charles

This review is from: Come Midnight (Zebra Historical Romance) (Paperback)

After her Irish healer foster mother dies Caitlin O'Brien can no longer remain where she was raised due to the numerous reminders of her beloved guardian. Feeling alone, Caitlin travels the countryside providing solace and healing.

The Marquis of Ravenskeep, Lord Adam Lightfoot asks Caitlin, who has gained a reputation as a healer, to help his son Andrew injured in a carriage accident in which his mother died. Willing to do anything for his son, Adam also signed a pact with the devil exchanging his soul for the life of his beloved boy. As Andrew and Caitlin begin to cherish one another in a child-matriarchal relationship, Adam and his healer also fall in love. Though Caitlin has captured his heart, the devil owns Adam's soul

COME MIDNIGHT is an exciting paranormal historical romance that uses a Faustian twist to provide freshness to the tale. The characters make the pact with the devil seem as if this really happened so that readers believe in the twisting plot that never slows down for a moment and in the authenticity of the key cast members. Veronica Sattler provides an entertaining novel that readers will enjoy while wondering whether the author's immense talent comes from a pact.

1.0 out of 5 stars If you only knew........, May 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Come Midnight (Zebra Historical Romance) (Paperback)

This is a horrible piece of literature. I am not even sure it rates as a piece of literature. I would love to know what school if any this author, and I use that term loosely, went to. She feels that descriptions of heaving bossoms equate fine writing. One can tell just by reading this tome that the author is a self-obsessed fool.
