Summary: Fascinating, riveting and sexually charged.
Review: After reading the review provided by Amazon books I felt compelled to submit my own review Connie Brockway's dark, riveting and utterly compelling romance ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT. Amazon must have received a proposal version of the synopsis for this book from Dell. Unfortunately that version isn't too similar to the final story. Yes, there's a female cat burglar and yes, there's a colonel committed to tracking her down, but there is no brother and while this book is filled Connie's trademark wit and fine crafted characters, it is worlds away from the light and humorous romp the Amazon review suggests.The hero, Jack Seward, one of England's most ruthless, remorseless and perfectly mannered agents, is set to on the trail of the Wrexhall Wraith whose is said to have stolen a letter potentially dangerous to the crown. In springing a trap on the masked thief he instead becomes entangled in a snare of sexual obsession when he discovers her gender and she escapes. While searching through the regency ton for clues to his thief's identity, he falls in love for the first time in his life with a haunted widow, Anne Wilder. Unknown to him, Anne Wilder is his thief, driven to flirt with death by her own past tragedies. And she, too, is held captive to the sexual magnetism that erupts between them.This is a fascinating and unique love story. Connie Brockway's regency world is unlike any you've experienced. It's a dark, intense, with riveting relationships, and rich, three-dimensional characterizations. In short, absolutely spellbinding

Summary: Only the darkness in it kept this from getting 5 stars
Review: All Through the Night is an engrossing read. Jack is a compelling hero: dark, dangerous, deadly, and a perfect gentleman. Anne is a tortured heroine: smart, lovely, guilt-ridden, and hiding a shocking alter-ego. Jack is wonderful in his early openly admitted need for her. Anne, knowing more than he does, is more reticent. In fact, she eventually hurts him on purpose to push him away. In fear and anger, they each resort to using sex as a weapon--one of the dark portions of this book--but in the end, they come to terms with the dangerous, dark world of their pasts and leave it behind for a new world of light and love.Brockway's writing is at times poetic as she decribes scenes and characters, particularly where Jack is concerned. The shadows of London are superbly portrayed and offer an interesting juxtaposition to the glowing entertainments of the ton. Exceptionally well-written.

Summary: An engrossing and unusual love story, not to be missed .
Review: All Through the Night offers readers a riveting tale of sexual obsession and danger in Regency England. When Seward,the master spy, meets Anne, the elusive thief, sparks fly as the two Society misfits circle toward a dark and explosive passion. The palpable sexual tension, engrossing plot, and rich characterizations make this historical romance a standout. Another winner from the talented pen of Connie Brockway

Summary: Very interesting
Review: Better than average read. She is a lady by day tormented by the mental scars left by dead husband, by night a cat burgular, stealing from the Tons richest people. He is the man sent to catch her. A memorable book

Review: Better than average read. She is a lady by day tormented by the mental scars left by dead husband, by night a cat burgular, stealing from the Tons richest people. He is the man sent to catch her. I liked her well drawn characters that make you care about what is going on. Had a hard time putting this one down.

Summary: COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!
Review: Connie Brockway can do it all. One of my favorites all time romances is AS YOU DESIRE and then I got hold of this one, dark and brooding. It's a catburglar/pursuer book set in underworld regency England --no lords, debutantes or parties. Jack and Anne have a sort of twisted, very erotic and compelling love. I couldn't put it down!

Summary: Depressing!
Review: Connie Brockway wrote one of my favorite romance novels, My Dearest Enemy, so I assumed that this book would be comparable. Unfortunately, it was dark, gloomy, and not romantic at all.

Summary: Smouldering Sensuality
Review: Connie Brockway's rich and evocative vocabulary, together with her equally rich and complex characters, is again evident here. Like all her novels, All Through the Night is a joy to read, all the more so because of the amazing smoldering sensuality between main characters Anne and Jack. My only complaint is that some of Anne's actions don't ring true, leading to some plot contrivances. However, I still highly recommend the thrilling rollercoaster ride the book sweeps the reader into.

Summary: Another terrific book from Brockway!
Review: Everyone has done a wonderful job describing the plot of this book, so I won't waste time here. I just wanted to say that Connie Brockway is the best! Like Susan Elizabeth Phillips, each of her books is different, beautifully written and eagerly awaited -- at least by this writer. I am so tired of poorly written romances. I truly enjoy the wonderful, witty work of Connie Brockway. (Please give us Giles story too!)

Summary: A really good book!
Review: Hello fellow Connie Brockway readers. This book is really good. I am currently in the middle of reading it for the second time. I really love it! Jack and Anne are the best couple I have ever read about. They're passion ignites the pages ever time you turn them. I really love it, and I would recomend it to anyone who loves a good romance story. I also have "A Dangerous Man" by Connie Brockway, and that is not as good as this one, but Connie Brockway is a brilliant writer, so I would also recomend that book. :o)
