Nighttime Sweethearts

I remember reading this book years ago and I enjoy reading it very much. I enjoy reading this series In a Fairytale World . I enjoy the characters and their story they are telling me too.

Far and away the best of the series

In this latest installment in Silhouette's "In a Fairytale World" series, Cara Colter manages to take the disappointing storyline and move it up to a much better level. This is the story of Cynthia Forsythe, the "good girl" glimpsed briefly in the shadow of her domineering mother in "Engaged to a Sheik," and of Rick Barnett, the architect who had been hired to design a chapel for the La Tochere Resort. (If there ever was a place where they needed to get some religion . . .) Terribly injured both physically and emotionally as the result of a past construction accident, Rick is more at home in nighttime darkness than in the light of day. Bitter about romance and relationships in general, he is reluctant to get involved with Cynthia, whom he had known briefly when they were younger. But a plan to steal a midnight kiss as revenge for her youthful desertion of him goes seriously awry as Rick discovers he still has feelings for her. Cynthia meanwhile spends nearly her whole time at the resort realizing that she's had enough of her mother's emotional manipulation, that it's time for her to get her own life, and that having a real romance (albeit with a man she can't see), is much better than reading torrid romance novels. But the pivotal question, inevitably, is whether this nighttime romance can stand all the revelations that the light of day will bring. This story has much more depth than any of the previous ones in the series, as the development of the plans for the chapel parallels the characters' emotional development, and as the "fairy tale"--in this case a Native American myth--actually plays a part in the action. And if Cythinia occasionally seems to go off the deep end, throwing out the baby with the bathwater in her attempts to forge a more mature relationship with her mother, and if both she and Rick occasionally seem to be quoting pages from New Age self-help manuals, you'll mostly be inclined to forgive 'em. The story's just too good not to.
