Midnight Surrender

Arabella now a fairly older lady meets Cassie Alexander their young neighbor. Arabella became a very good friend to Cassie when her father died from a knife wound while investigating a story. Cassie is the publisher and owner of The Lexicon a news publication left to her by her father upon his death. Unfortunately Cassie's uncle is very angry that his brother left The Lexicon to his daughter instead of his brother, and he does his best to subvert Cassie's authority and undermine her position at the paper. What Cassie doesn't know is just how far her uncle is willing to go to get control of the paper. Cassie is attacked by two men, and if not for the good fortune that Louis was in the area she could very well have been killed. Cassie finds herself drawn to Louis. Cassie has no idea that Louis is not Arabella's grandson as they have been posing, but actually her husband. Arabella knowing that her time on earth is short works to try and get Cassie and Louis to fall for one another. The job is not a very hard one, but what is hard is to make Louis realize that he is not betraying his wedding vows or love for Arabella by caring for Cassie. There been a few murders in the area, and Cassie has been getting packages with a piece of bloody clothing and a note. She has become suspicious that Louis could have killed these women, due to the fact that the men he stopped from attacking her were found dead. For this reason Cassie does not go to the police immediately with the packages and the note. Arabella makes Louis promise to take care of Cassie and makes Cassie promise to love and care for Louis. She then uses her link with Gerard to call him to her and begs him to put her out of her pain and misery. Gerard very reluctantly agrees and he gently takes Arabella's life. Bianca finds out that Arabella is dead and is overjoyed. She sees this as her chance to get Louis back. Things don't go quite as she planned and she finds out he already has another mortal love. Here is where I will end, except to say that the book is well worth reading to find out what happens between Cassie and Louis. Whether Cassie's uncle gets what her deserves and what part his son plays in all this, and what happens between Gerard and Bianca.

Achingly poignant! Darkly sensual!

Cassie's youth & fiercely independent spirit unwillingly engages more than Louis's interest. Together they must face their challenges & learn to trust & love unconditionally.Ms. Gideon writes in a way that engages your emotions. Arabella's selfless love for Louis, & Louis's depth of commitment to Bella came clear across the pages. I cried buckets over this one!

LOUIS, WHERE ARE YOU!

I HAD SO MUCH FUN READING THIS SERIES! I FOUND MYSELF UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT READING TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. I LOVE VAMPIRE ROMANCE BOOKS, AND THIS ONE IS A FAVORITE!

STOLE MY HEART & MAKES ME YEARN TO BE IMMORTAL!

As I began reading about Cassie and Louis, they took my breath away. Nancy Gideon makes you feel "their" emotions. I fell in love with Louis the same way Cassie did. You will have a love/fear relationship with Gerald, Louis' fellow vampire and sometimes friend, and Bianca will make you truly believe in evil. I could not put the book down until I had devoured every last drop. If you have a passion for romance that meets the dark side of love, Midnight Surrender is a must! I also loved the first two books in this trilogy: Midnight Kiss and Midnight Temptation.This trilogy has a permanant place on my bookshelf and I keep hoping/checking that Ms. Gideon writes more vampire/romance books!!!
