The Lisa Marie Wilkinson Romance Bundle

Lisa Marie Wilkinson

Sebastian was totally flat Rachael didn't seem to have learned anything by the end of the book. She was just as horrid and insipid and totally stupid as at the beginning. That is a bit harsh, I know, but really, a girl can't go traipsing around the countryside at the beginning of the 18th century and not expect to learn from her experiences. The one good thing that this book may have left me with was a slightly better grasp of history and geography of rural England.

I am really mad that this book turned out to be so badly written and badly published. If this was a free online ebook I would probably not be as rude as I am right now, but the fact that someone paid good money and then sent this to me as a present just kills me. No one should be forced to pay money for this trash.

Caught by her wicked uncle Victor Brightmore and jailed in Bedlam, a hospital with insane inhabitants, she is held captive while her uncle searches for her younger brother James.

Evil beyond reproach, her uncle is a murderer and pirate but still is not satisfied with all the wealth he has illegally acquired. Tarry Morgan, a dear friend and more to Rachael, is looking for her and Victor is aware of this. Intending to transfer her to Bethnel Green, a true insane asylum, and let an "accident" happen along the way, Rachael is drugged.

Confusion ensues and she manages to be saved by John Wyatt, a friend of Tarry's. Chaos soon follows and now Rachael is saved by Sabastien Falconer. Rachael and Sabastien are leery, neither one feels they can trust the other yet they both realize there is something more. This is a historical romance with a plot that has been done before but somehow this romance leaves the reader feeling upbeat.

• It Dont Mean A Thing (If It Aint Got That Swing).
• Serf (The Climber Series Book 1)!
• Award winning author of historical adventure-romance.

The lead individuals are charming while the support cast adds an authentic feel to this era of history. Wilkinson's descriptions of her characters and the setting make you feel as if you are there watching everything unravel.

If there is one weakness, it is that the characters could be 'fleshed-out' better. There are privateers "Pirates are criminals" , seduction and pandemonium; the story has it all. Both entertaining and fulfilling, it is an old fashion romance. Don't take it too seriously and you should enjoy the story. Dec 19, Lorraine Durbin rated it it was amazing.

I have always been interested in both insane asylums and lighthouses I realize that this is a rather odd way to enter into a review of an Historical Romance, but when I ran across this book at Barnes and Noble, with a beautiful cover of a Lighthouse, flipped open the cover, and started reading and it started out with the heroine being held in Bedlam, then I read toward the back, and it also contained the sto I have always been interested in both insane asylums and lighthouses I realize that this is a rather odd way to enter into a review of an Historical Romance, but when I ran across this book at Barnes and Noble, with a beautiful cover of a Lighthouse, flipped open the cover, and started reading and it started out with the heroine being held in Bedlam, then I read toward the back, and it also contained the story about the history of the Eddystone Light, I bought it immediately.

Started reading that night, and finished it the very next night, sneaking reading time at breaks, and at lunch Although Sebastien was supposed to be a villian, you can certainly understand his reaction when he discovers that his supposed nemesis, Rachel, has also been victimized by her own Uncle Victor, and you just want them to bond together and have something terrible happen to Victor, who has also managed to compound his sins by kidnapping James, Rachaels baby brother.

The idea of a privateer being so charming,sexy, and falling totally in love with our brave, beleaguered girl charmed me totally, even the nasty uncle, a twin brother in the mix, one twin French, and the other strict British officer of the law trying to catch his own brother, a cast of Victor's co-horts, and a whole team of smuggler-privateers who are willing to lay down their lives to protect Sebastien, because, after all, he is a good guy Lots of surprises here.

Waiting for a followup on this one telling what happened to Tarry, Rachael's childhood friend and also in love with her Jan 09, Sabrina rated it liked it Shelves: What a great idea for a book - vindictive uncle wants to get niece and nephew out of the way so he can inherit. And just in case she escapes, plants rumors that she is the person responsible for snitching on Sebastien and his crew of wreckers. Because of these rumors, Sebastien is now on the run and half of his crew have been tried and hung.

Rachel What a great idea for a book - vindictive uncle wants to get niece and nephew out of the way so he can inherit. Rachel escapes Bedlam with the help of a childhood friend and falls into the hands of Sebastien. This is a romance — so sparks fly and they find each other irresistible. What follows is a roller coaster ride between the two. The suspense and fighting is fun and fast paced. He just came in like this tyrant at the end of the book and it seemed forced into the storyline.

My lasting impression of this book is that I liked it. It was a bit dramatic, but overall fun. Aug 15, Sharyn rated it liked it. The year is and a French Privateer is in England, the twin of a customs agent. They have been sepearted for years so there is much antagonism. Rachel has an uncle trying to kill her, Sebastien has a brother trying to kill him.

Much intrigue, some of it confusing. But this is the 3rd historical in a row that had really interesting facts. There was a Great Storm on Nov , that killed man "Fire at Midnight" had a very interesting beginning-a scene in Bedlam, with Rachel incarcerated.. There was a Great Storm on Nov , that killed many and destroyed much, including a supposedly invulnerable lighthouse and its builder. This was a free Kindle book, and my 1st by this author.

However, while one of the characters is a pirate, or privateer to be precise, this tale takes place on land. Still, I was not disappointed! There is a lot of action happening here, fights, betrayal, trickery, abduction, seduction and more! And all of it with the backdrop of one of the biggest storms ever to hit Great Britain.

I hadn't read any books by Ms. Wilkinson before, but I will definitely be I picked this up while it was on the free list, and I was hopeful it was a pirate story.

Wilkinson before, but I will definitely be reading them in the future! Jan 05, Valerie rated it it was amazing. What a great book!! It had everything you would want, an amazing romance to battling to save each other. It kept me turning page after page with excitement to see which direction the story would go.

Unlike some books I have read with the characters' trust issues, this one was not annoying Really enjoyed reading this book!! Oct 05, J. The wonderful thing about Fire at Midnight is that for a reader who loved Alexander Dumas, The Tale of Two Cities, and other books of the setting or era, I was immediately immersed in the setting and story. It takes detailed writing to keep me engaged and a story worthy of the setting. All that is contained in Fire At Midnight. I can't wait to get the sequel! May 05, Carrie rated it really liked it.

I could not put this book down. The setting was England and the author did a good job of putting the various elements in from that period. This book had pirates, British Nobility, conflict, drama and romance. The characters were well developed. Jan 11, Betty rated it really liked it. Interesting concept and good characters made this a fun read.

Lots of descriptive bedtime stuff if that's what you like. I'm rather past it myself, but it's sure to please the historical romance lover. Jul 25, Elizabeth rated it it was amazing. Could not put this book down! Jan 17, Ashley Kannenberg rated it really liked it Shelves: Jan 18, Erin rated it did not like it. If I could give 0 stars I would. It reads like a poorly acted soap opera Feb 20, Sfchick rated it it was amazing. Sep 16, Michele rated it liked it.

I was so eager to read this, but it was a little disappointing. I don't know what I was expecting, but this wasn't it. Sep 30, Kelly Fitzpatrick rated it really liked it. I rarely read historicals, but liked it very much. Jan 11, Tetyana rated it really liked it.

More titles to consider

I started reading it at work and could not stop Mar 10, Pam rated it it was amazing. Read this awhile back and absolutely loved it. Jul 06, C. Fire This as a nail-biter. A sweet, yet troubled romance for mature readers.. Oct 22, c. Aug 02, Beth rated it it was ok Shelves: It was relatively short and I finished it in a matter of hours. Oh, also it was free thank you, Free Nook Friday! What I didn't like: Pretty much everything after the first two chapters.

Well, it's not that I didn't like it, it was just there were a lot of plot things I don't think the author completely thought out. Also, it may have been my mood. I wasn't really going for a romance, but that's what this ended up being. The main characters hated each other, but of course they couldn't keep their hands off of each other. A lot about their romance didn't ring true, either. They barely know each other, and when the female finds out that the male completely lied to her and she was, in fact, his mortal enemy, it didn't stop the two of them from flinging clothes off and making mad, passionate love.

Maybe it's just me, but I like my characters to develop a relationship before they have the sex. Besides the sex, there was really nothing between the characters that showed a realistic attachment between the two. AND the male was a Frenchman. I didn't hate the book, but it could have been so much more.

All-in-all, I'm just "meh" about it. I'll probably delete it off my Nook, as I will never read it again. And look at that, I did change the rating.
