A Kiss at Midnight by Eloisa James5/29/2023 The pages might as well be laced with a bit of pixie dust. Some historical details as a result seem off, but the genuine fairy tale romance feel of the entire book is so worth it. Since A Kiss at Midnight is a Cinderella retelling, James chose not to set it in any specific time period so she could stay truer to the fairy tale. While I’m not sure A Kiss at Midnight has the long-term resonance of that six book series with me, it’s still an absolutely delightful story that I thoroughly enjoyed. You might recall that I just adored her Desperate Duchesses series, which only got better with each successive volume. Little does she expect that she’ll find it so hard to keep up the pretense with Prince Gabriel.Įloisa James is completely a must-buy author for me. When her stepsister is bitten by her pet dog, though, Kate is forced to impersonate her, complete with fiance and bratty dogs, at a ball in a prince’s castle. There are few bright spots in her life she’s never had a London season and can’t imagine where she’d find a husband, nor is she certain that she’d be able to abandon the tenants to Mariana’s whims. Since her stepmother Mariana cares nothing for their estate, nor for her, she’s had to take everything into her own hands – and when staff are fired, she ends up taking on their jobs. Miss Kate Daltry’s life hasn’t been great since her father died.
