As the oldest of the Fenstraw children, Lady Emily
Stapleford loved her warm and close-knit family and was
quick to notice when things went wrong. Sensing trouble
and, with a penchance for eavesdropping, Lady Emily found
out her father was horribly in debt and to make it worse,
that awful American, Logan Jennsen. was demanding money
from him.
Emily realizes that her family had an expectation that she
could save them by making a rich marriage. To avoid that
fate, Emily schemed and pondered a way where she could help
financially, yet still be free to marry for love in the
future. With a heavy heart, she realized she needed allies
for her plan and decided to tell her follow members of the
Ladies Literary Society of London as they were also her
very best and closest of friends. They had been reading and
discussing the novel, "The Gentleman Vampire's Kiss" which
was all the rage. That erotic book was the epiphany for
her plan.
When Emily tells her friends of her father's bad
investments, both personal and business, and of her plan,
her bosom buddies, now all happily married ladies, attempt
to tell her that marriage may not be so bad. Yet, despite
their misgivings, they agreed to help her get her plan
noticed. For while Lady Emily had been away with her family
at their country home in Kent, she had used that time away
to write a short story, "The Vampire's Lady's Kiss".
Disappointed that she couldn't find a publisher for they
felt no one would be interested in a vampire heroine. But
with Emily's plan, a new publisher would want to latch unto
her book and she would get the financial success she
craved. But is Emily's plan as foolproof as she thought?
Had she missed being aware of any dangers that could happen?
Meanwhile, Logan could not get thoughts of the impetuous
Emily out of his mind, despite all the negative things that
had begun to happen to him. He certainly had no interest
in those hothouse society ladies who would wilt at the
first inconvenience. He even casually tossed off a fifty
pound bet to a friend, secure in his feelings about the
silly ladies of the Ton. Yet, why did Emily keep drifting
in his mind and when he chanced upon her, he felt she
certainly was up to something. Her mischievous eyes, those
beautiful eyes, gave her away every time. He just had to
find out what she was plotting.
As the fourth and final book in the Mayhem at Mayfair
series, Jacquie D'Alessandro has certainly served up the
best to top off this very humourous and sensual suite of
stories! TEMPTED AT MIDNIGHT is a lush and 'licious,
sizzling, yet tender, tale of cold hearts warming to the
other. Totally fascinating as a stand-alone read, it will
prove even more of a crowning dessert for fans of
D'Alessandro. The plotline is strong with tantalizing
suspense and the character development throughout is
realistic and rewarding. The slow budding of the
relationship between the two protagonists, Emily and Logan,
is especially poignant as they break through their
stereotypes to really learn about the other. I am so in
love with Logan for myself! This is one terrific romance
you won't regret being tempted to read!
