Not Much "Meat" to This One,
By Holly Golightly (Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Maid Of Midnight (Harlequin Historical) (Paperback)
The characters in this story were rather shallow - not well-rounded. I never felt I really got to know them, and therefore the author didn't get me to care about them. Also, the premise, that Bridget had lived all her life among the monks and nobody ever found out, seems hard to believe, even if they were in a fairly isolated area. I almost gave up and quit reading this one.

A Very Romantic Tale,
By Tina "tinaellorascave" (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Maid Of Midnight (Harlequin Historical) (Paperback)
Maid of Midnight, the Sequel to Lord of Lyonsbridge and Lady of Lyonsbridge, offers great romantic escapism and an action packed plot. Set in Normandy immediately following the Crusades, Ana Seymour's latest is a satisfying romantic read.The English knight Sir Ranulf Brand is on a mission to locate his missing brother Edmund who mysteriously vanished three years past. The clues his younger sibling left behind are few and far between, but the one thing he knows for certain is that Edmund had been intent upon journeying to St. Gabriel's monastery in Normandy. Why Edmund has gone there in the first place, he doesn't know. Ranulf sets off for St. Gabriel in order to question the monks dwelling there about his brother's disappearance, but gets more than he bargained for in the process when he meets Bridget, a beautiful and mysterious woman with an equally mysterious past. Bridget has lived within St. Gabriel all of her life. Never once, in fact, has she stepped outside of the monastery's cloistered walls. Bridget has no last name nor any family save the monks that raised her, for the events surrounding her birth have been kept secret these twenty-two years. Once Bridget meets the handsome Ranulf her secluded world doesn't seem quite so appealing anymore and she finds herself not only wanting answers to her past but a life outside of the monastery as well... The latest installment to Ana Seymour's Lyonsbridge series is a strong one. It isn't necessary to have read the first two books in this line in order to enjoy this one. In fact, the protagonists from books one and two are only mentioned in passing, so it's probably more apropos to refer to Seymour's books as connected rather than as a series in the way we normally think of them. Whatever you want to call it, connected or a series, Maid of Midnight is a fun, romantic read. The next time you're in the mood for a sweet romance with just enough action to keep your attention, I'd pick up a copy of this one. sexual content = PG-13

love story not well developed,
By
This review is from: Maid Of Midnight (Harlequin Historical) (Paperback)
This story was an ok read. The only thing that kind of held my interest in the story was the action and adventures. i found the love story to be very lacking and the characters were not very well developed. The love story between the two main characters was not very interesting to me and during the story I didn't really care what happened to the characters. the story did not draw me in and I found some parts a little silly and unrealistic, Like the time Bridget tied him to the bed with hair ribbons to prevent him from leaving the abbey. The book was ok, but it definetly is not a book that went to my heart.
