A Lady by Midnight

By: Tessa Dare

Narrated by: Carolyn Morris

New York Times and USA Today Bestseller

A temporary engagement, a lifetime in the making . . .

After years of fending for herself, Kate Taylor found friendship and acceptance in Spindle Cove—but she never stopped yearning for love. The very last place she'd look for it is in the arms of Corporal Thorne. The militia commander is as stone cold as he is brutally handsome. But when mysterious strangers come searching for Kate, Thorne steps forward as her fiancé. He claims to have only Kate's safety in mind. So why is there smoldering passion in his kiss?

Long ago, Samuel Thorne devoted his life to guarding Kate's happiness. He wants what's best for her, and he knows it's not marriage to a man like him. To outlast their temporary engagement, he must keep his hands off her tempting body and lock her warm smiles out of his withered heart. It's the toughest battle of this hardened warrior's life . . . and the first he seems destined to lose.

Excellent author / narrator combination

This is a very sweet and satisfying story, ably enhanced by Carolyn Morris' performance. While there is much use of modern language and sensibilities for a Regency, good story writing won my heart.

Great installment of this series!

This story was great, the hero and heroine were fantastic characters, strong, smart, and witty. There was lots of dialogue, great chemistry and nicely written sex.

I read the first 2 books in this series before they were available on audible. I was excited to see them all become available.

The narration was fantastic! Made the story that much better. The narrator did the men's voices great. Everybody had a distinct voice. Good job Carolyn Morris.

Keeps getting better

This series keeps getting better and better. Still love each our ladies and our gentlemen

Good, but not the best in the series

Tessa Dare is truly a talented story teller and Carolyn Morris a perfect match for Tessa's stories. This book with Thorn & Katie has a good story-line, but the "stuff" between them just went on & on. I kept wanting some resolution. One of Tessa's best talents is the repartee between her characters. That talent was very evident in this book....except between Thorn & Katie. I still enjoyed the book, I laughed and learned to love the characters...and will listen again....just fast forward more.

Good

All the books in this series are good and a few are fantastic ( a week to be wicked, Colín is so hilarious and adorable 🥰 plus sexy!😅😁) anyways Thorn or Samuel is as you except him to be tall, handsome, dark, serious, totally manly 😋 but he holds out way to long for me. He could have given in to Miss Taylor a chapter or two sooner. Chemistry check. Witty banter a lil bit but more often then not the female lead was being adorable! She really had to go after her man! O’l Sammy was trippin lol worth the credit thanks for the epilogue.
