REVIEWS 
 

The Best Reviews calls The Midnight Marriage a "Romantic Suspense with a Georgian Twist".

"THE MIDNIGHT MARRIAGE has a light tone and is a quick read with two extremely likable main characters. Watching Deb and Julian fall in love and develop their marriage was very enjoyable. The action is nonstop, but the main couple was always front and center. This is romantic suspense with the emphasis on the romance... Brant's skill at story telling had me quickly turning the pages, wanting to see what would happen next."

"Lucinda Brant has written an intriguing story, with a magic mix of love, hate, distrust, betrayal and never a dull moment... The hero is fascinating, with twists and turns in his character, while the heroine is very strong willed and certainly knows her own mind. Between them and the machinations woven throughout the plot, it is definitely a book not to be missed if you like historical romance."

A Romance Review highest rating: five roses
"This is a very well written story that keeps the reader’s attention glued to the computer screen. The secondary characters are very important to the story and should and will be honored with their own stories in the future. Julian and Deborah are perfect for each other. Even though they were brought together in very strenuous circumstances, they soon learn to make the best of their situation and learn to love and trust each other, but they have to weather many obstacles along the way. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Brant’s work, she is definitely an author to be on the lookout for in the not to distant future."

Five Flames from Sizzling Romances

The Midnight Marriage is a terrific story.  It’s fast-paced and the writing is simply wonderful.  Deborah is a strong-willed heroine, and Julian, who is just as strong-willed, is a unique hero... Several intriguing secondary characters add some interesting twists.  This story is full of surprises. I highly recommend it."

Four Rose Read from Romance Reader at Heart

"What a delightful find! I could not put this one down.
I do believe Lucinda Brant is on her way to a very wonderful career in historical romance writing. The  characters come brilliantly to life and the historical detail is so subtle yet obviously well researched, that the reader totally falls into the romantic Georgian period of England (1700's). Do I detect an influence from another fabulous Australian romance author, Isolde Martyn, here?
The plot held my attention with the intricate family history Brant wove throughout the love story. I can't wait for the rest of the series because I now have a very vested interest in the entire family. Don't miss this one! It's definitely a gem!

The Midnight Marriage is an awesome story! From the very beginning readers know that Julian has misled Deborah, and from the beginning you're just waiting for the fallout. Lucinda Brant writes her characters with such depth and feeling… The Midnight Marriage is a spellbinding, outstanding story. This was my second book by Lucinda Brant; and with more stories like this one she will stay at the top of my 'buy' list.”

Heartstrings says 
...The Midnight Marriage is a sweetly romantic read, embraces the best parts of the genre, and has cunningly coy characterizations."
And about the hero and heroine:
“Julian is a surprisingly complex character and not at all your average rake. Youthful intemperance aside, he's a wonderfully sexy, dryly witty, tenderly protective hero, and a perfect match for Deb's unconventionality, free-spiritedness and stubborn streak."
© Cheryl Jeffries for Heartstrings
