3 stars

A LADY BY MIDNIGHT is the third book in Tessa Dare's Spindle Cove series and is the first book to feature a couple from the working world, rather than the aristocracy. Kate is an orphan who works as a music teacher in Spindle Cover, while Thorne is a Corporal in the militia.

A LADY BY MIDNIGHT is a little more angsty than the previous Spindle Cove book, as Kate's still dealing with the pain of growing up an orphan, and Thorne knows a secret about Kate's past that he's unwilling to share. For the most part, A LADY BY MIDNIGHT is a fun read, if less compelling than the previous Spindle Cove books. The last 50 pages or so did veer into the ridiculous for me, as there was an unnecessary suspense subplot that featured a crazy villain, never my favorite plot device. Although this wasn't my favorite of Tessa …
