Author:
Haley
Whitehall enjoys writing historical fiction. She earned a BA from Central
Washington University, and has a love for the Civil War. You can learn more
about her on her website.
Description:
Emma has
become a widow at a young age, but doesn’t mourn the loss of her husband who
she did not love. When she comes out of mourning, she yearns for companionship
and hires Frederick, a roustabout to come to her home at night. The two have an
instant attraction, but there are greater forces at work to keep them apart.
Appraisal:
Midnight Caller is a short, steamy read – a book
that could certainly be finished in one day.
The pairing
of Emma, a white widow, and Frederick, a black roustabout, in the 1866
Louisiana seems plausible. There is a strong undercurrent of racism, which
plays a role in bringing the two lovers even closer together. They both know if
they are caught, it will only lead to trouble, but their love and lust is so
strong that they need each other.
There is a
bit of suspense involved as Emma has to deal with an unwanted and dangerous
suitor. She has her own secret, though, that pushed her into a loveless
marriage before and she will try to use her secret instead to find love.
Romance and
erotica fans should enjoy Midnight Caller.
It provides a quick hit for a pleasurable afternoon read on forbidden love.
FYI:
Sexual
content.
