Not Goodman's Best,
By A Customer
This review is from: Midnight Princess (Mass Market Paperback)
I have to disagree with the above reviewer. When Jo Goodman is at her best (Tempting Torment, Violet Fire, Forever in My Heart, Only in My Arms, to give several examples), her books are wonderful--heartwarming, fun, touching, and very human, Midnight Princess, however is not one of her best. The plot is disjointed, making strange twists and turns out of the blue. Unlike the relationships in Goodman's best, the relationship here between Jenny and Christian seems baseless and unbelievable. He starts out treating her with cruely and suddenly they are in love with no journey or growth the explain why he changes his mind or why she loves or even tolerates someone who has treated her so badly. This book does intruduce the Marshall family who return in later and,in my opinion, better novels including the Dennehy Sisters series.

A DARK TALE OF HEALING PASSION BETWEEN 2 TORTURED SOULS.....,
This review is from: Midnight Princess (Mass Market Paperback)
Good grief, can't believe I'm the 1st reviewer here. U wouldn't wanna miss this spectacular novel, if U know what's good for you. Ms Goodman's great writing talent is shown to the fullest this time. This book has one of the best premises & plot-driven stories I've ever read in a historical. 447 pages - and small fonts, mind U - filled with fantastic, sharp banter between Christian & Jenny consumed my attention 'till 5 AM. Some of the bone-chilling, disturbing scenes are mercilessly depicted. But, the sizzling platter of love-scenes & rich secondary characters are compensation enough. Christian is a bitter, restless war hero & reluctant heir to the newspaper tycoon. Jenny is the mysterious, striking beauty whom he saved from nightmarish stay at a mental hospital. Her presence is the turning point of his wretched life. I love it when Christian finally came to his senses & admitted that He loved her & asked her to marry him. What a nice change from the usual arrogant-know-all-to-the-end heroes. I never thought photography could be that interesting 'till I read this masterpiece. Jenny is very smart for her sex - too smart perhaps, 'cuz that was what landed her in the mental institution in the 1st place thanks to her evil stepfather & brother - but vulnerable too. Whenever the 2 of 'em are thrown together, the sprinkler system is in danger to go off. Simply an all-around terrific writing from the consistently high-quality novelist that'll churn your gut & I don't mean puking.....
