Her imagination is fired up, so when she spies Matthew Devenport, Marquess Langston, mysteriously sneaking home in the wee hours clutching a shovel, she simply must investigate. Impelled by curiosity, the adventurous lass steals into his bedchamber -- only to be caught red-handed by the impossibly handsome and totally naked nobleman. The Marquess Langston has more important things to worry about than a group of literature-loving ladies. But Matthew's grand plan to rescue the family from ruin could be lost when he discovers Sarah hiding behind his bedroom curtain. What is this meddlesome woman up to? And why are his desires inflamed by a chit who is too inquisitive for her own good? Well, two can play at this game . . . and when Matthew captures the beguiling Sarah in all her naked glory, the night of mischief has only just begun. " Average Rating:
 Rating:  - "Good plot....LAME WRITING"Let me start by saying, "The author does too much unnecessary writing. I mean did she have to discribe every thought, every feeling, before and after a character speaks. It was so annoying. For instance... a character says something and it takes about two or three pages to get a responce from the other character. This author is definitely not for me. The plot and romance was pretty good. But, I had to do a lot skimming to get past the mumbo-jumbo. I will not be reading the rest of the series. ... Read More Rating:  - Sweeps me away!This book is at times heart-wrenching, funny, lovely and heart-warming. Some books you see how the characters are attracted to each other in a physical way, but you don't necessarily understand how they come to love each other or truly get to know one another. Sometimes t's not necessarily realistic that the two characters do love each other so deeply. In SLEEPLESS AT MIDNIGHT, however, you experience their conversations that are filled with understanding and humor and depth and, yes, heat. You feel ...

Well done Jacquie!! : ) Rating: - Light, Average Read 3.5I'll start with what I liked about this book...it is what I always like about this author's books - it has great humor and there are always great pets in her stories as well. Loved those two aspects and I really liked the way the heroine thought and talked. What I didn't like was how the heroine was made to seem like such a nerd at all times...her glasses always hanging askew at the end of her nose and she always pushing them back or they were always fogging from something. That combined with the ... Read More Rating: - Good story. Good lines. Great characters. Excellent writing style. Very enjoyable.This book was full of lines that were entertaining or had me chuckling. To give readers a flavor, I've quoted two scenes below. The only downside was at least twice (pages 196 and 216,) there was a little too much pondering going on in Matthew's mind. Story brief: Matthew's father was in debt due to gambling. He was killed by a robber and Matthew is trying to run the estate. On his deathbed, the father told Matthew he had won a fortune and buried it in the garden, but he died before ... Read More |
