A Lady by Midnight (Spindle Cove, #3) By Tessa Dare

A Lady by Midnight by Tessa Dare
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Can I first say before anything else how much of a sucker I am for tortured closed-up gruff men!! I just cant bear it I just Love them!!

I will start with the heroine's character first. Kate seemed to me from her first appearance in the first book, as a shy conservative girl who has a complex about her birthmark. Turns out Samuel wasn't the only one surprised by her, she came out as a bold fearless character, not the conventional bold type, but more of a hidden under a layer kind of bold, you cant see it unless you get to know her better. I loved how she was falling in love with him, how she started to discover his true character little by little, how she doesn't belittle him and doesn't anyone to do it especially him, how she wanted him even when he tried to imprison himself so he can just let her go.

Now when I come to Samuel I'm speechless, but I'm gonna write about him anyway. As I said before he was the tortured gruff type, he preferred to adore and worship her from afar than make her suffer his company, throughout the story he kept belittling himself and saying she's better than him and he doesn't deserve her and such. But to put it simply, he's the best kind of man there is, but unfortunately they are currently extinct. What made me love him is how he did everything for her without any second thoughts, without bragging, his adoration toward her neared the level of worship, and he's and a hulking handsome brute do I need to say more ^^

The things I noticed in this book were:

- I noticed that this book concentrated of the characters feelings more than the physical part, that's why I felt weird while reading it, these couple felt somehow chaste to me, just for your information I don't mind the physical at all ^^, but comparing them to the previous books they seem more innocent in a way.

- Like Kate I'm been dying to see Samuel smile, I was betting that he will at the dog tickling attack scene (which I loved, it was completely adorable), well at least he laughed and smiled and winked in the book.

- I loved the touch of an eccentric family

- I noticed other reviews talked about the scene where Kate was angry at Samuel when he told her he hid the truth from her, and when she didn't get that angry at Evan when he did the same thing. I noticed the unfairness and unreasonableness of it as well, but to me it seemed the difference in regard that they both held in Kate's heart.

-Loved the idea of a the girl taking action over a reluctant and stubborn yet totally welling guy ^^

Overall, A Lady by Midnight obviously become my favorite book in this series so far, and I'm still completely hopelessly maddeningly a sucker for tortured suffering men, and again do I have to say more?!! *thumps up*
