Kyla Van Vleet has journeyed from India with proof of her right to share in the late Duke of Wolverton's estate and repay the many kindnesses of the stepfather who raised her. But this ravishing young woman hasn't counted on the cold cunning of the Duke's acknowledged heirs-or the disarming gaze of the brash American who is next in line for the title. The charming but arrogant new Duke is Brett Banning, and to him Kyla is a gypsyish hoyden bent on besmirching the family name. But there is something about his commanding boldness that draws Kyla ever closer to a maelstrom of unbridled desire, even if her pounding heart leads her into the bedchamber of His Grace's country estate. Now this willful lady must gather her courage and dignity to command her own destiny. For the gossips of London keep no secrets, and a passion that blazes at midnight can either warm two hearts for a lifetime. . . or consume everything it touches.Kyla Van Vleet has journeyed from India with proof of her right to share in the late Duke of Wolverton's estate and repay the many kindnesses of the stepfather who raised her.

He's a brute and a bully,
By
This review is from: Midnight Lady (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm giving it 5 stars because I think the other reviewers have been unfair. This is not a happy story about a charming people being charming. It's a story about passion, revenge, lust and greed. It's the kind of story that makes you feel things. Not necessarily good things. I mostly felt angry and sad. So that's why I think it was good book. A book is like art, if you feel something, then the artist has accomplished his goal. In this case the story lingered with me after I turned the last page, because of the feelings it invoked. So that's why I think it is a good book.
The hero is no hero. The heroine is tragic. She has very few choices, and most of what happens to her is beyond her control. It's hard to believe any woman could love her abuser, but it happens all the time in real life. Maybe that's why some people can relate to the story better than others.

Great Book,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Midnight Lady (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved the book. I read it 3 times. I would suggest it to someone who loved romance. Rosemary Rogers gets into a lot of detail in this story. You easily understand the storyline, and you can almost imagine what is going on n detail in your head.

'Rogers is Rogers',
By A Customer
This review is from: Midnight Lady (Mass Market Paperback)
Brett, or the Duke of Wolverton, was a clone of Roger's Steven Morgan of 'Sweet Savage Love'. While the locations differ, Wolverton could be considered Steve Morgan's father, exhibiting the same dangerous, brutal, sarcastic, and abusive characteristics of Morgan. Wolverton was not a character that you loved or even liked, and you feel very little empathy for Kyla, the heroine. But Rogers did something different in this novel than she would have in the 1970s, her heroine did not sleep around. Refreshing for Rosemary Rogers. But Rosemary Rogers is one of the 'queens of romance' and she managed to captivate me enough to sit through the night in order to finish. The novel contained enough intrique, danger, and mystery to keep me turning the pages, constantly wondering if Wolverton would ever 'grow' a heart since it seems he wasn't born with one. But alas, when he told his cousin's widow that he agreed upon a marriage between her daughter and the suitor HER DAUGHTER chose instead of her mother, I finally said, 'yes, Wolverton, you do have possibility'.
