Dance With Me At Midnight: A Sweet Regency Romance (Love for a Lady Book 2) Kindle Edition

Eloise has done her best to play the dutiful stepdaughter, taking on the work of her departed mother and running the household and looking after her useless stepbrothers. However, when her stepfather announces she’ll be married before summer—to a man she’s never met—she’s determined to fight it.

Charles, the newly minted Earl of Marlton, always knew he’d be married within months of inheriting the title. Having returned home from his studies in France, he was prepared to be the dutiful heir and take on everything that being an earl entailed—including marrying a wealthy, attractive, well-bred woman. Lord Fairfax has promised his stepdaughter was just that. He’s fully prepared to wed the woman he’s never met by summer.

Until he meets her that is. Eloise is nothing like the poised, elegant and controlled woman he thought she’d be. Beautiful, yes, even with a parrot sitting on her shoulder, but hardly marchioness material. Perhaps he could consider himself a little intrigued by her but he cannot seem to get close enough to her to find out more, especially when she keeps running off goodness knows where.

Can he persuade her he’s more than a stuffy lord, interested only in her wealth? And does he really want to compete with a menagerie of animals? All he knows is the more time he spends with her, the more he’s convinced it might well be worth it.

Dance With Me at Midnight is a sweet Regency romance filled with a cast of fun characters, a lord who never anticipated meeting such a woman and a heroine who will keep him on his toes.

USA TODAY Bestselling Author Samantha Holt is known for fun, witty, and usually steamy historical romances. She's been a full-time writer for longer than she ever thought possible having originally trained as a nurse and an archaeologist. She's a champion napper, owner of too many animals, mum to twins, and lives in a small village near the very middle of England.

She's usually writing (or napping) but when she's not, Samantha is plotting (books of course!) with her husband, drinking coffee, climbing hills that are far too high for her fitness levels or visiting stately homes and pretending she's posh.

You can claim a free book by signing up to her newsletter www.samanthaholtromance.com

If you're not sure where to start, why not try:

▶ Capturing the Bride (The Kidnap Club #1). A fun Regency read full of spice and an unusual heroine trying to escape an arranged marriage and a hero who has no idea how to keep his hands off her!

▶ You're the Rogue That I Want (Rogues of Redmere #1) is a longer read with heat, witty dialogue, a feisty heroine and adventure. All books in the series are standalone.

▶ There Are Plenty More Dukes in the Sea (The Inheritance Clause #1) is a fun, steamy read focused on the Templeton family as they fight to save their inheritance.

▶ Wake Me With a Kiss is a sweet, fairytale romance. Twists on Beauty and the Beast and Cinderella are also available if you love a clean, fun read.

▶ To Steal a Highlander's Heart is a full length dive into the world of sexy highlanders. For those who love braw Scots, some steamy scenes, and medieval romance, this series is a perfect escape.

I've read several books written by Samantha Holt; she has done a great job at writing a good book; she is becoming one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of books her books.

The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

I loved the chemistry between the characters.

I received a free copy of this book via booksprout and I’m voluntarily leaving a review.

I enjoyed this "Regency Fairy Twists". It's a regency retake on Cinderella with worthless stepbrothers instead of stepsisters. It's a fairly quick, sweet and clean read. I really like Eloise and Charles. It's a slow build between them. This story has some entertaining moments that I really enjoyed.

5.0 out of 5 stars CINDERELLA AND THE TWO STEPBROTHER DANDIES
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2017
Verified Purchase
DANCE WITH ME AT MIDNIGHT is the third book in the Regency Fairy Twists series. Each is a sweet retelling of a fairy-tale for adults. This one is a twisted retelling of Cinderella.

The Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum of twins, Adam and David, provided comedy and villainy to the story. They are Eloise’s two stepbrothers and they are hopeless and cruel dandies. Her stepfather is cold, distant, and still grieves the loss of her mother. Still, he is a viscount, and sees the worth of marrying Eloise off to the new Earl of Marlton, Charles .

I loved the slow build of affection between Charles and Eloise. The story is sweet and truly is a grown-up version of Cinderella. No, I don’t mean bow-chick-a-wow-wow. I just mean it isn’t written like a child would read it with short choppy sentences and simple language. It is written with the intelligence, the hopes, the concerns, and the humor of adults while still being a wonderful, clean romance.

I love fairy-tale retellings and I hope that Samantha Holt will produce more in this series. I like her style of clean and unique twists.

Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

Dance With Me At Midnight by Samantha Holt is book Three in the Regency Fairy Twist Series. This is the story of Eloise and Charles, the Earl of Marlton. I have read the previous books but feel you can make this a standalone book if you wish to do so.
Eloise has step up to help her Step-family after her mother's death. But now she learns that her Step-father is planning to marry her off to someone she doesn't know. Charles is new to his title so he figured that one of his duties would be to marry but Eloise is very different then most ladies he knows. This was a cute, fun quick read. Really enjoyed it.

4.0 out of 5 stars quick and fun read. Eloise is a girl with a passion ...
Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2017

This was an interesting, quick and fun read. Eloise is a girl with a passion for wayward and abandoned animals who isn't thinking about a future husband. She doesn’t know that her stepfather has already promised her to Charles and her betrothed is coming to the event she is planning to inspect the goods. The two get off to a rocky start and it seems unlikely that their negative opinions of one another will change but they start to realize that they have more respect for, and interest in, each other than they originally thought. I like the subtle plays on the Cinderella story. Eloise has evil step-siblings and all the palace animals around her. Charles is left stranded by the horse at midnight instead of her. I only wish there was more romance and heat between the two, but I think it was meant to be a "clean" novella. Would recommend for a brief read.

Dance With Me At Midnight by Samantha Holt is a fairly quick read, a great choice for historical romance fans with limited time for reading. Ms Holt has once again delivered a fine, well-written book. This is a fun historical romance. Charles and Eloise's story is loaded with madness and mayhem caused by her collection of unwanted animals and her devious brothers. There's plenty of drama, humor and just a hint of spice. Ms Holt hit this one out of the park with the balance of amazing characters and humor in this book. I loved reading Dance With Me At Midnight and look forward to reading many more books from Samantha Holt in the future. Dance With Me At Midnight is book 3 in the Regency Fairy Twists Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

Dance With Me at Midnight is an entertaining and humorous version of Cinderella with some twists, a quick engaging plot and well-developed characters. Instead of a wicked stepmother and three wicked stepsisters to make her life miserable, a cold, distant stepfather ignores Eloise and twin stepbrothers who fluctuate between being dandies and bullies. Eloise has a group of animal friends, including a parrot with a vulgar mouth. Her stepfather invites the new Earl of Marlton to his annual spring ball in hopes of arranging a marriage between Charles (the earl) and Eloise. Things get off to a bad start when Charles arrives. Albert, the rude parrot, calls him a fool and promptly poops on his shoulder. Even though the house party is plagued by pranks pulled by the twins (the last one is a doozy), Charles and Eloise get to know each other better (sometimes due to the pranks). It will be a miracle if these two can come together and find their happily ever after, but this is a fairy tale.
