Review
Cassie Alexander's life is The Lexicon, the newspaper she took over after her father died. She is a modern woman in the Victorian age, determined to live her life the way she wants without relying on a man for anything. But ever since she met her new neighbor, Louis Radcliffe, her thoughts have been about him. He is very attractive and very dedicated to his grandmother, Arabella Radcliffe. Cassie is affected by him in a way she's never been by any man but Louis is no ordinary man. Louis is attracted to Cassie's youth and beauty and her independent spirit. But she doesn't know he is a vampire and that Arabella is not his grandmother, she is his mortal wife. He knows Cassie has feelings for him and that Arabella is encouraging her but it is hard to lose someone he loves so dearly and have her replaced by someone who doesn't know what he is. Arabella tells him to trust Cassie but will Cassie trust Louis? Arabella makes Cassie promise to take care of Louis after she is gone because her last wish is that Louis not be alone. She tells Cassie that she will have to make a sacrifice to be with Louis, but it will be worth it. Cassie doesn't understand Arabella's cryptic warning, she only knows that Louis is the man she wants to be with whatever the cost. When a madman starts killing girls that look like Cassie, she investigates, concerned that she may be the next victim. Knowing that Louis has something to hide, she begins to suspect him. Keeping his promise to Arabella, Louis looks out for Cassie and discovers that he cares for her more than he ever wanted to. He fears losing Cassie and must protect her from their enemies both human and vampire.Nancy Gideon is a one of a kind author!

Midnight Surrender,
This review is from: Midnight Surrender (Paperback)
Arabella now a fairly older lady meets Cassie Alexander their young neighbor. Arabella became a very good friend to Cassie when her father died from a knife wound while investigating a story. Cassie is the publisher and owner of The Lexicon a news publication left to her by her father upon his death. Unfortunately Cassie's uncle is very angry that his brother left The Lexicon to his daughter instead of his brother, and he does his best to subvert Cassie's authority and undermine her position at the paper. What Cassie doesn't know is just how far her uncle is willing to go to get control of the paper. Cassie is attacked by two men, and if not for the good fortune that Louis was in the area she could very well have been killed. Cassie finds herself drawn to Louis. Cassie has no idea that Louis is not Arabella's grandson as they have been posing, but actually her husband. Arabella knowing that her time on earth is short works to try and get Cassie and Louis to fall for one another. The job is not a very hard one, but what is hard is to make Louis realize that he is not betraying his wedding vows or love for Arabella by caring for Cassie. There been a few murders in the area, and Cassie has been getting packages with a piece of bloody clothing and a note. She has become suspicious that Louis could have killed these women, due to the fact that the men he stopped from attacking her were found dead. For this reason Cassie does not go to the police immediately with the packages and the note. Arabella makes Louis promise to take care of Cassie and makes Cassie promise to love and care for Louis. She then uses her link with Gerard to call him to her and begs him to put her out of her pain and misery. Gerard very reluctantly agrees and he gently takes Arabella's life. Bianca finds out that Arabella is dead and is overjoyed. She sees this as her chance to get Louis back. Things don't go quite as she planned and she finds out he already has another mortal love. Here is where I will end, except to say that the book is well worth reading to find out what happens between Cassie and Louis. Whether Cassie's uncle gets what her deserves and what part his son plays in all this, and what happens between Gerard and Bianca.

STOLE MY HEART & MAKES ME YEARN TO BE IMMORTAL!,
By aidkad@aol.com (Athens, Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Midnight Surrender (Paperback)
As I began reading about Cassie and Louis, they took my breath away. Nancy Gideon makes you feel "their" emotions. I fell in love with Louis the same way Cassie did. You will have a love/fear relationship with Gerald, Louis' fellow vampire and sometimes friend, and Bianca will make you truly believe in evil. I could not put the book down until I had devoured every last drop. If you have a passion for romance that meets the dark side of love, Midnight Surrender is a must! I also loved the first two books in this trilogy: Midnight Kiss and Midnight Temptation. This trilogy has a permanant place on my bookshelf and I keep hoping/checking that Ms. Gideon writes more vampire/romance books!!!
