Description from the publisher:
August Avery, a renowned civil engineer,
has found himself the sole custodian of his cousin’s six month old daughter and
he needs assistance—fast. He understands how to build railways, to construct
bridges and to save the railway tycoons thousands of pounds. He doesn’t
understand, however, how to care for a child.
When Ivy Davis turns up at his door looking for work, he believes his prayers are answered. If only the exotic, exuberant young woman did not prove to be such a distraction from his busy workload.
Unsure if she is even up to the task of looking after a baby, Ivy finds herself swayed by the handsome and slightly desperate August into working for him. With her singing career failing before it even started and no other talents, she decides looking after a young child cannot be so hard... surely?
But the child may turn out to be the least of her worries. Her handsome, brooding master seems to keep her awake more than the baby. Add to that her desire to achieve her dreams of singing on stage and the machinations of the indomitable Mrs. Pepperwhite who sees her as competition for August’s hand, Ivy finds this simple job growing harder by the day—as does her desire for her master...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
KISSED AT MIDNIGHT is a stand-alone
historical romance.
What is a happy day for a
bookworm? When they find that they had
somehow missed reading – not one but – two ARCs hidden on their kindle. I just may have read both of these wonderful
books from Samantha Holt in less than 24 hours.
It all started when Ivy knocked on
the wrong door…
The push and pull between August and
Ivy gave me the giggles more often than not.
Reading this was like one of the old movies I loved to watch on TCM or
AMC – full of mistakes and misunderstandings.
The characters are sweet and endearing.
For a change, this “historical romance” doesn’t have a duke, prince,
etc. August is a working man. I’m sure this is what gave him the more
relaxed attitude towards his staff and that was refreshing!
The passion, romance, and HEA were
well blended in this whimsical story that could have been set in any era,
because people are always going to be people.
Note: while I was given this book as a gifted ARC,
my opinions are my own and are given freely.
