Do you like fairy-tale romances? HEAs? Dashing heroes and capable, yet beguilingly innocent, heroines?  If so, you'll love this story!  Heroine Marissa Dunsmore's wretched father has promised her hand to the despicable Lord Westbrook, a man who feigns charm on the outside while harboring a dark and nasty soul. Marissa is a breath of fresh air - - guileless yet determined, constantly plotting a means to escape her fate while skillfully (and entertainingly) playing a scatterbrain when it suits her. I loved how she had most of the men in the novel thinking her empty-headed when she was, in fact, scheming against them.Gabriel DeVault is a daring (and sexy!) highwayman with a secret past and a score to settle. He finds himself sidetracked and bewitched by her charms. I'm a sucker for a highwayman, and Gabriel made my heart melt. Not only is he deliciously romantic and tender, but he pulls off cavalier with swoon-worthy flair in the title role of `Lord Midnight.'This is a rousing good read with a villain you love to hate, a hero and heroine who make you cheer, and a host of supporting characters who touch your heart.  The romance scenes are sexy and sweet, and the plot threads all neatly tied together at the end for a thoroughly satisfying read. A gem!
