Lizzie Tempest has been told that she
must marry the heir to Felmont or she will be placed in an
insane asylum. Lizzie doesn't want this legacy for herself
but has no choice. The viscount in question must wed her for
her money but Lizzie refuses to go down without a fight. The
only thing she can think of to buy her some time is
negotiation. Lizzie negotiates the terms of her marriage to
the Felmont beast, also known as Quentin Seraphim Dacey
Felmont.
I loved the plot and premise of Every Midnight
– a woman needs to marry and a penniless viscount needs her
money. A match made in arranged marriage heaven, right? I
wish I could say it was so. I found the character of Lizzie
to be so unfeminine and so hormonal, so bitchy, that I just
wanted the viscount to tell her to kiss his butt. If Lizzie
had been written any other way, or characterized just a bit
differently I think the entire theme of the whole book would
have improved. I wish I could recommend Every Midnight,
but I can’t. Lizzie’s character and mannerisms and constant
name-calling made me want to throw something. Every
Midnight was just not the book for me at this time. |
