I have always been a big fan of Jacquie D’Alessandro’s historical romances. They are fun and very sexy. I just finished Confessions at Midnight and it was another great read by this author, but with a few problems. One problem is yet another mystery that has to be solved. Usually this involves either the hero or heroine. Both are involved indirectly. It seems our hero’s old mistresses or lovers are being killed. And now his new lover, Carolyn may be the next one on the killer’s list. And then you have the TSTL moment toward the end of the book when our heroine knows she is in danger, but OH, she receives a note from the hero and must meet him in his middle of the night somewhere in the open. Heh.

I liked this book as well. This is the first book of hers I have read. Daniel had such a dry sense of humor. His "I can't imagine." Each time Samuel said "Ye'll never guess wot milord." Cracked me up every time! I liked Daniel and Carolyn alot as well as the secondary characters.
Katie(babs)~I've been such a fan of her books, but I cannot get into this one for love or money. Sigh. I need to put away the tree sex and read this one.
I have been debating on this series and now I think I might have to check her out. I heard she was a great historical romance writer but I balk at series simply b/c I am already reading way too many.
Thanks for the tip!
I have this one, just haven't read it yet. I really enjoyed the first book.
Btw, Kate Davies is now a crusader - she just finished watching N&S :)
Kim: I can't wait to read Emily's story and who her hero will be ;)
Lisabea: Put down the forest sex! Your mine is being warped. Yuk. What type of tree was it?
Sarai: When you have the chance I recommend you start reading this one. The first one is about Carolyn's sister Sara- Sleepless at Midnight
Stacy: You say the most wodnerful things. LOL
I've read both the books and enjoyed them both as well. And you're right, there were a couple of TSTL moments there, but the overall enjoyment of her books is great.
Just finished this last week and enjoyed it. Agree about that final TSTL moment -- why would she think Daniel would want to meet her in the open at that hour of the day rather than at one of their houses? OTOH, I enjoyed Daniel's menagerie of crippled pets and rescued servants and the banter between the H/H. Also liked that Carolyn had a VG relationship with her sister and had loved her first husband. It made her willingness to engage in a relationship with Daniel more believable than the usual "virgin into sex goddess in one fell swoop" scenario. One minor quibble with the review: Daniel didn't see her before Edward did; the first time he saw her and found himself falling in love was at the party where Edward and Carolyn announced their engagement. In that it was a bit like Julia Quinn's "When He Was Wicked".
