Review: Marques at midnight, a lovely story
Rating: 4 out of 5

Though this was under 200 pages, I did enjoy the story which had romance, some mild suspense and good character building.  Grace, our heroine, has blamed the Marquis for her husband's death after a visit which seemed to be the reason her husband may have taken his life.  Sometime later, after a passionate kiss at a masquerade ball, she finds she is not only with the man she blames but enjoyed it so much, she is swept off her feet.  Our hero, the Marquis, quickly understand there is a problem and that she blames him for her husband's death.  The story continues, with supporting cast of her best friend, who is married and her husband, who happens to be a friend of the Marquis. I do not want to give the story away but suffice it to say that I did want it to last longer as I got into the romance of the h/h.  It was enjoyable, had some humor with some intrigue but not too in depth.  I judge stories on how believable it is, how I felt during, and the hea, which is why I read romance stories.  The only reason I did not give it the highest rating was because it was too short. It has the making of an epic story, one which the author could consider, as the story is well done. I liked our h/h immensely, finding them deliciously brought to life though I wanted far more from them. The hea was great so I let my imagination fill in the rest of what the story could be.  I would recommend to anyone who wants a romance that is fairly quick, satisfying and makes one feel that romantic love does indeed exist.  I liked it and for the price is say it's a bargain and am looking for other works by this author.
