Midnight Fire was a fantastic book. Maybe it lacked a little more details but I must say it captivated me. It was warm and wise, with the character of Morgan who one could pity, and Carolyn who changed all that for him. Their rising love was indeed so "beautiful" and when the end of the book came, it was something. You must not skip this book! You won't be sorry and I hope that you could feel the warmth and love those two characters found. Once they found the truth of their love, nothing could ever tear them apart, not even the ache of Morgan's heart where once he thought life so worthless, to die for. Madeline created a family that no one could ever thought it to become one whole, but eventually it did, and no one was sorry. So you won't be, too!

Morgan is a bitter drunkard, a half - breed who feels that he has no reason left to live. That is, until he meets Carolyn, a runaway heiress, escaping from an arranged marriage. Desire between the two is strong and love naturally follows. Madeline Baker is the queen of historical romances and this is definately another of her books that you will not be able to put down.

this was my first MB book book but definatly not the last. I loved Morgan even though he was a drunken Half-Breed and Carolyn, though very spoiled, was a wonderful character. Carolyn runs away from home and an aranged marriage only to find Morgan in an alley with a knife in his gut. She takes him to his home and helps him recover so they he will take her to he brother across the country and away from the marriage her father has set up. Along the way Morgan finds his dignity and most importantly he finds he is falling in love with "Carrie". They are captured by Indians and Morgan is given a chance to get away from the bottle and Make him self worthy of a woman's love. Carrie learns the there is more to life then parties and silk dresses as she falls in love with Morgan. She must convince him they they belong together before their families and unforseen dangers tear them apart. A truly inspiring book!!!!

This was not my first MB book, but it is my favorite. The characters were beautifully flawed, but instead of giving up they found their strength in themselves and thus were able to be strong for each other & their shattered families. I re-read this book about once a year, if not more. This love story is enduring and everlasting.

Morgan Slade has led a very sad and hard life. He was created from love but then became hated by his mother who felt she was abandoned by Morgan's father. Because of his mother disdain and loneliness of not having a mother's love, Morgan spends his life being a drunk. Carolyn "Carrie" Chandler is a spoiled rich girl fleeing an unwanted marriage. Carrie saves Morgan life and offers him money to help her get to her brother. Through trials and an unexpected attraction, love blossoms between them. This is an awesome read! It has a lot of twists and turns and revelations from both sides of Morgan and Carrie families that allows you a glimpse of whom Morgan and Carrie really are as people. Madeline Baker did a wonderful job showing Morgan going through withdrawl as he tries to rebuild his life. I truly felt for Morgan. He showed to be a man trying to change his life in spite of the circumstances of his birth. And Carrie showed that no matter what kind of life you led, if you don't have love... then you really have nothing. It's a keeper and I've read it many times!

I've read quite a few Native American romance novels, and Madeline Baker is by far my favorite author when it comes to this type of story. This book was really enjoyable. The characters were well-developed, interesting, and believable. The story line moved along and never became boring. However, if you like steamy, detailed "love" scenes, then you may be disappointed with this book, because there aren't any. The book was so well-written overall, though, that it didn't really matter.

I love romance Western style. This one is a great read. Sexy, fun and touching. Baker's work is way up there on my list of favorite romance authors, along with Brown, Howard and many others including my latest fun, sexy read "Anything, My Love" by Cynthia Simmons. These ones can keep you turning pages, and Baker always does.
