Summary: Sexual Content: PG-13
Review: A sexy hero, a feisty heroine, a murder mystery, and a passionate romance...put them all together and you get "Meet Me At Midnight", a Regency-era historical you don't want to miss.Twenty-year-old Victoria Fontaine is forever getting herself into trouble. As a consequence, her friends have nicknamed her the Vixen, a name she has no problem living up to. When Victoria is caught in a compromising embrace with Sinclair Grafton, the Marquis of Althorpe, her father forces her to marry him against her wishes, more than happy to pass his troublesome daughter off to another man, even a man like "Lord Sin" who has a reputation for debauchery. A year shy of inheriting the funds her grandmother left her, Victoria is furious that her plans for independence have been thwarted over one little kiss. Her anger soon turns to friendship and passion, for Victoria can't help but to be intrigued by her husband. What's more, she's beginning to suspect that there's more to Sinclair than what meets the eye. She soon realizes that her husband isn't the wastrel lord he presents himself to society as, but what she doesn't yet understand is why he's hiding behind such a facade to begin with. Sinclair Grafton returned to England to see his elder brother's killer brought to justice. An English spy during the war against France, he fears that his brother was killed because he knew of his activities. Sinclair used the charade of a carefree, mindless rake to mask his true motives to Napoleon's men in France and continues on with said charade in England so as not to appear suspicious to his brother's killer. Sinclair had planned for every eventuality, but he hadn't prepared for Victoria Fontaine. When a passionate kiss forces him to do the right thing by the woman he compromised, Sinclair marries her, but fears for her safety...especially since his wife is quite astute and is beginning to fit the puzzle pieces of who he really is together with astonishing speed. Somehow he must catch the killer before any harm befalls his wife...a wife who makes him feel feelings he's never known before and whom he continually falls more in love with each day. Be warned: this is a Regency-era romance of the wallpaper variety. In other words, it doesn't contain tons and tons of rich historical detail...just enough language and references to make the setting realistic. I had no problems with this because I'm an avowed historical junkie of the wallpaper variety. To be blunt, tons and tons of rich historical detail bore me to tears. My point? If you're a wallpaper addict like me, this is the book to give you a happy fix. If wallpaper turns you off, however, "Meet Me At Midnight" might not be the historical romance for you. This book became a keeper for me because of the protagonists and their burgeoning passion for each other. Enoch developed Victoria and Sinclair's personalities and motivations very convincingly, to the point where you feel as though you know them well enough to be friends by the time you finish the book. As difficult as it might be for an historical buff to fathom, "Meet Me At Midnight" doesn't contain any misunderstandings or miscommunications between the hero and heroine whatsoever. If Victoria worries about something, she confronts Sinclair with her grievance rather than developing a stiff upper lip and keeping the misunderstanding to herself until the truth somehow comes to light of its own volition near the book's ending. Almost sounds too good to be true, I know. -full review originally published in The Romance Reader -sexual content PG-13 = descriptive sex, but nothing kinky or wildly graphic

Summary: Another Keeper!
Review: Another wonderful read by Suzanne Enoch. The story is of Victoria "Vixen" Fontaine and Sinclair "Sin" Grafton. Sin was a spy in France during the war and had developed a horribly black reputation in England so he could fit into the role he played while a spy there. He comes home 2 years after his brother dies to claim the title as well as find his brothers killer. This leads him to Vixen because he suspects a friend of hers, Viscount Marley. Vixen is incredibly spirited and is considered fast. She has no intention of marriage and all her actions point to her being what I term a "female rake". Sin and Vixen are attracted to each other and are caught embracing shortly after meeting each other in the garden of the ball they are at. Vixen's father, at his wits end with his scandal-creating daughter, insists on marriage. They do and its a wild ride til they fall in love from there. Both are concerned with helping and protecting the other and will do what they must to ensure that. Vixen is not your ordinary heroine and she is quite likeable and Sin is not only sexy but a decent, honorable man who is having a hard time meshing his former "spy" life with his new titled one. Sin's spy friends are amusing, Alexandra and Lucien from Reforming a Rake appear, and Vixen's menagerie all make for a great time reading this! Vixen's parrot, Mungo Park, is hysterical! I highly recommend this book!

Summary: The Vixen finally finds her Match
Review: Another wonderful romance by Suzanne Enoch. In this story you will see some of your old friends (Lex and Lucien) along with Vixen who was introduced to us in the first book in this series, along with Mrs. Greenville's Academy. The story starts out as Vixen is drawn to "Lord Sin's" and dances with him, then allows him to take her to the garden and winds up in a very passionate kiss with most of London looking on. With a forced marriage that neither is apparently going to get out of they basically resign to being together but not giving up on their independence. Vixen is also one of the strongest woman characters in romance stories, she has a wonderful mind of her own. She even figures out Sin's past as well as who killed his brother long before anyone else believes her. I also loved her pets! The Mongo is a hoot! I really enjoyed this one.

Summary: Beautiful story - great romantic read!
Review: I have always enjoyed Enoch's books and this one was no exception! Vixen and Sin were actually a perfect couple. Both were pretending to be something they were not and both were actually bored with the lives they had been leading. Thrown together but not really against their will - they quickly found there was much to each others personalities than what others perceived. There is just enough intrigue in the plot to add to the romance. I really enjoyed this Enoch romance and would highly recommend it!!!

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I have really enjoyed Enoch's other books, particularly REFORMING A RAKE, so I was certain that I would like MEET ME AT MIDNIGHT, too. However, this book was simply a disappointment -- it was so dull that I didn't even finish it. MEET ME AT MIDNIGHT starts off really well, with a very interesting premise, but by the time the middle of the book rolls around, it starts becoming redundant. Both Sin and Vixen start off as intriguing characters, but get more and more boring as the story progresses. As for the story line, Sin is looking for his brother's murderer, except he has no clues, no evidence, no real suspects, and the trail is already two years cold. In other words, nothing interesting is happening as far as the plot is concerned, either. And where is Enoch's sense of humor in this book? All of her previous novels have been infused with good-natured humor and laugh-out-loud moments of hilarity, but MEET ME AT MIDNIGHT is utterly devoid of both. All in all, it was boring and unentertaining. Read or re-read Enoch's earlier novels and hope she recovers to her usual self in her next book, is my recommendation.

Summary: Disappointing Vixen
Review: I love Suzanne Enoch's books and am anxiously awaiting the next in March - but "Meet Me at Midnight" was not only a disappointment but an annoyance beginning and ending with the heroine. The first time I read this book it was OK, the second read I threw it across the room, my own immature reaction to the childish, idiotic and uninteresting actions of Vixen. I am all for heroines that go against type - but this one didn't go in a way that made her more interesting, independent or engaging - instead I felt that I was wading through a mess of unappealing character traits that made me question the hero's sanity in liking her and rooting for someone else to appear and steal him away. Ms. Enoch is, however, still one of my favorite authors and I gave this book 2 stars simply because dispite my hatred of Vixen it was still well written structurally. I still recommend any of Ms. Enoch's other novels.
