From the back...When jet-haired Jolene Warrington learned she was really a slave mistress's child and not her father's free white daughter, the Mississippi belle was devastated. Suddenly the desirable heiress was not only an orphan and a pauper...she'd been sold to an arrogant rancher to be his consort! The voluptuous beauty vowed that somehow she'd escape her owner before he robbed her of her virtue, but before she could break away, the virile Texan was taking liberties with her body-and stealing her heart in the bargain?Independent Kurt Spencer never wanted to get permanently tangled up with any female. Then he saw the gorgeous ivory-skinned captive for sale and he couldn't walk by and leave her to a brutal master. But when the hot-blooded cattleman had his new "possession" within reach, his noble intentions became velvet seduction. Whispering that he'd grant her freedom after one night, Kurt urgently loved her...only to find he needed more-and he swore he'd forever make her his Midnight Slave.In my Opinion....This book is really good. This is a story about slavery, the North versus the South, right and wrong, hatred, jealousy, lust, love, true friendship, and justice. This book has everything that you could want in a story. Jolene is a young, beautiful, rich woman with her whole life ahead of her. Well, she did until her manipulative 'twin' sister, Johanna, decided that to get what she wants she had to get rid of Jolene. Jolene is thrown into the humiliating degrading life of slavery. Jolene may think that having Kurt as her 'master' is the worse thing that could have happened to her, but what she doesn't know is that Kurt is her salvation. Things could be a lot different for Jolene if Kurt had not stepped in to buy Jolene from a brutal master and his family. Kurt and Jolene become closer as the days go by. However, in a state where slaves are seen as worthless pieces of property, the relationship between Kurt and Jolene is viewed with hostility and contempt. Kurt does not understand his feelings for Jolene, but he vows to protect her. The relationship between Kurt and Jolene is only a small part of this book. At times it is hard to remember who the primary charcters in this book are because of the exciting stories of the secondary characters. The reader never has to guess at what the other characters in the book are thinking or feeling. Every character plays an important role and their stories are just as important as Kurt and Jolene's. One very important character is Kurt's best friend and former slave Daniel. Daniel is now a free slave thanks to Kurt and would love nothing more than to buy his mother's freedom from the same brutal man that first had Jolene. The only problem is that the man has told Daniel that buying his mother is not an option, but Daniel refuses to accept that. Daniel, his mother, and several other slaves have major roles in this books and all of their lives are joined in some way to both Kurt and
